We arrived in La Rochelle (early October 2011) without a booking and walked in to try for a room for 2 nights, we immediately picked up on the feel of this place, just like our favourite local hotel back home in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia - The Shipwright Arms. We were right, this hotel is spot on, value for money, great... More

Stayed three nights in August. Simple but comfortable rooms. Our room was not overlooking the port, further back overlooking pool which was fine as quiet at night. Reception staff were all delightful and helpful. Free wifi in rooms. The only slight negative was the restaurant where we ate on the first evening and the restaurant staff were obviously in a...

The hotel is just opposite the harbour and in the middle of the city. There is a small pation with a pool and the breakfast buffet is ok. The rooms are quite spacious and clean. Definitley a good place to stay. More

The location is the best about this hotel right at the edge of the harbor. the rooms were clean and spacious. breakfast was good too. only negative point is that there is no car park. More

My husband and I were looking for a short but sweet break and that is what we got at La Yachtman. From the moment we arrived (four hours early for check in) we were treated like long lost friends. They asked the chambermaid to make up our room first so we were able to book in two hours early. We... More

Have just returned from a most wonderful stay at the Le Yachtman. Words cannot say how fantastic the Hotel is. Brilliant position overlooking the Old Port. Also a lovely swimming pool, where you can dine around as well. Wonderful Restaurant Midshipman, with all the food prepared fresh and all locally sourced. You must try the beautifully prepared fish dishes. Yummy!... More

We have just got back from La Rochelle and stayed in Le Yachtman. The hotel is in a perfect position. Easy walk to centre, train station (and buses to Ile de rae Island), aquarium and also the beach which is about a 10 minute walk away. The staff at the hotel were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The pool was... More

Our room OK, but only one chair - two would have been better. Room safe would have been welcome. But the breakfast at 14 euros was not good value. The hot food - bacon and eggs, same every morning - looked like the dregs of leftovers. Every morning I had to ask for marmalade which was kept hidden in a... More

We stopped overnight at Le Yatchman in La Rochelle having visited the city before and wanted some more time there. The hotel is only small and the rooms are about the same but they are clean and well presented and the hotel has a pool, bar and restaurant. The main reason we chose it was the the location, directly opposite... More
