I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and the experience was made exceptional thanks to the outstanding service provided by the staff. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. Special mention goes to Barbara at the reception desk. She was incredibly helpful during our check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Barbara went above and beyond, providing excellent recommendations for sightseeing and helping us find all the information we needed to make the most of our visit. Her friendly and professional demeanor truly set the tone for our stay. In addition to Barbara's fantastic service, Yuri and Anton at the bar also deserve high praise. They were both incredibly welcoming and provided top-notch service throughout our time at the hotel. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness made our evenings at the bar a delightful experience. Overall, the staff at this hotel made our stay memorable with their exceptional service and genuine hospitality. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely stay
The location of the hotel was excellent, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The only downside was when using the card for the parking we had to go back to the hotel to hand it back after we had left. Maybe the option of a drop-off box at the parking location would be a better idea. But other than that minor issue the hotel cleanliness, location, was brilliant.

We had an extremely small room, could barely walk around the bed, had a small window close to the floor, the room was on the 1st floor only reachable with staircase. The toilets were not working and located less than a meter from the bed with a poor sliding door (zero intimacy). The staff was very unfriendly, not even trying to look for a solution. We saw the staff being absolutely awful with other guests, charging them 5€ per baggage to be stored in the baggage room (even small kid backpacks), in cash only, obviously not willing to give receipts. This hotel is far from being legal in so many aspects!

Be Forewarned: A Mixed Bag
So, I don’t like to complain, but this hotel is a real mixed bag. First, the hotel is very well-situated between the train station and the old port, it’s very modern and tries hard to be chic. The design is interesting, but the open common area around which all the rooms are oriented is not as pictured. It’s now a dining area for breakfast service. That said, the design concept is an interesting touch. Secondly — and crucially — if you’re unlucky enough to be placed in one of the rooms on the 1st floor (2nd floor for Americans), you very well will have an open bathroom. “What’s that?” you ask. It means that there is no door to your bathroom. It’s situated behind a wall between the bathroom and the bedroom, but in terms of privacy, that doesn’t do much. I mean, traveling as a couple who’s been married for 13 years, it’s not a big deal, but if this is a romantic getaway — maybe your first trip together — be forewarned. You will probably be defecating in the same room you’re sleeping in. There. I said it. Forewarned is forearmed. Lastly, the hotel advertises itself as having soundproof rooms. This is simply untrue. Noise is a problem, not from the interior of the hotel, but from the outside. Sound insulation was NOT a real investment by the designers. So: very friendly and helpful staff and an interesting design concept, but no real soundproofing and an epic bedroom/bathroom design make La Fabrique the hotel I will NOT go back to during my next trip to La Rochelle.

Great location and hotel, but beware parking
Nice place, but I drove around in a circle when I arrived, then realizing that you can’t drive right up to the hotel, the City has a large pedestrian area blocked off. 10 minute walk with luggage from City parking to the hotel, but once there it’s very centrally located.

La Fabrique - super hotel
Really unusual hotel. Old on the outside but very modern inside. Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean rooms. I had a disabled room and it had plenty of space for our bags and wheelchair. The shower had a good, solid put down stool so I could sit with comfort whilst showering. One odd thing was the tap on the wash hand basin, to get hot water you had to push it to the right and then hot water came out with great force! Difficult to adjust, for me anyway. Nice bar downstairs and very nice staff all went out of their way to be helpful. An unbeatable situation right in the centre of the old port area. Breakfast looked good, both hot and cold but all we wanted was a short walk to get a croissant and coffee. We stayed two nights but didn’t have far to walk to find a nice coffee shop, almost next door, serving an excellent cafe creme and breakfast!
