Staff were fantastic, especially the bar staff. Very welcoming and friendly. Hotel was spotless and quiet. The pool area was really nice. Lovely bedrooms (in hindsight I should have booked a larger room, as was a bit tight, but totally my own fault). Cleaned every day, towels replenished. Really nice location. Within walking distance of everything.

Excellent hotel
Fabulous stay, great friendly staff. Very clean and comfy hotel with easy access to fresh drinking water. Has a small gym, a swimming pool and posh bar. My only issue is that with lost property they aren't proactive in informing the guest that they have found your items. Once with my wallet when I described that I had lost it and the person said nothing was handed in without checking and when I insisted she checked, found it straight away with my room number on the postit with my name. Should have been made aware earlier. As too my charger.

Very comfortable and great location
Very nice hotel in a great location overlooking the harbour and adjacent to the aquarium. Comfortable room and bed, the room was nice a clean with good facilities. Reception staff were excellent helping my wife with a lost iPad left in a sister hotel in Rouen. Private parking, take a ticket on entry and pay at the barrier when leaving. Would recommend.

Dissappointed
The hotel is well placed to walk into central La Rochelle and has plenty of parking. Whether it is policy for Hotel.com bookings to be given a top floor room at maximum distance from the lifts I do not know but it was not an encouraging start. After we had unpacked we tried to have a shower. The control for the water was loose and lifted totally from the side of the bath and we could not obtain any water from the bath. The receptionist came to the room and managed to get the shower to work something I was subsequently unable to achieve. We were offered another room but we were only staying one night and did not want the hassle.
