Hotel berhampiran Espace Encan, La Rochelle

Stayed two nights here and I am sorry it wasn’t longer. This hotel is very well run and all the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. To start with the room was excellent. It was fresh and new with a decent size bathroom. Very comfortable indeed. Breakfast is well organised and there is a large choice of bread and cereal. Thank you for having filter coffee! We enjoyed the restaurant so much we had dinner there both nights too. The pool is a good size - you can actually swim and do lengths - and there are plenty of loungers. Can’t praise this place enough. Check in and check out efficient and friendly as well.

The erea was fantastic, the girls at reception were very helpful and extremely friendly. The room we paid for as an upgrade and received 2 welcome drinks, we expected a small room and that’s what we got but our complaints are no replacement coffee satchets or paper cups, the pump cleanser in the shower was empty but you don’t notice until you are in the shower and then try to unclip the one above the bathroom sink. The girls cleaning the rooms should check these things every time.

This is a unique hotel run by a friendly family. Its location is excellent, just a short stroll to the harbour and local attractions. The room was clean and comfortable. Although there was a sky light and another small frosted window, I did miss having a proper window that you could see out of. It was fine for my purposes - I was simply interested in a single occupancy room that I knew I would not be in for along - but I’m not sure it would be a choice for a romantic getaway. Breakfast was buffet style and typically continental. It was perfectly suited to a city break style hotel. All in all, a good and convenient stay.

This hotel is in a fantastic location, in the middle of many shops and restaurants. International brand shopping is within walking distance. The views from the window are outstanding. The bed is comfortable. The front desk staff was very helpful in recommending places to eat and other sites. My only complaint is that I found several hairs in the shower upon inspecting the room. This issue should be addressed with housekeeping.

Very nice hotel, in a quiet area, 10 minutes walking from Vieux port! Near the Gabut area, the Aquarium and the Musee Maritime! You could find free parking in the surrounding streets! Very good value for money also. They have a very nice initiative with housekeeping. If you stay more than two nights, every day you skip the housekeeping you get a free drink per person, such as a draught beer, local wine, tea or coffee at the hotel bar! Also they have a good water dispenser where you can refill your bottles every day with cold water! Their breakfast was quite good, with nice bread, nice crepes and all the basics of a typical french breakfast! The only thing they lacked was some fresh vegetables such as a tomato, a cucumber or a lettuce and fresh fruits. The quality of the coffee could also be improved. Rooms were spacious and the bed was comfortable with two pillows each. The only thing is that the carpet gives the room a dusty smell. Overall very good for its place and price, with friendly staff!

Gorgeous boutique hotel right on Vieux port making it in the heart of the buzz around the port but noise wasn’t an issue at all. Everything was accessible and within a few minutes walk. Bus from the airport stopped right outside the hotel, train station is a 5 minute walk away. Room is v small and a bit cluttered but view from the room made up for it. Didn’t have a balcony (a few rooms have) but we loved looking out our window at the buzz around the port and watching the entertainment. It was spotlessly clean and was cleaned daily. Bathroom was bright and had great lighting, a rare in some hotels where you can barely see without turning all all lights. Minibar including water, coke and iced tea included which was a nice touch. Also got a plate of macarons and a little welcome card which again was lovely. Safe also included free of charge. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of sockets to charge phones etc. Staff were wonderful and so friendly. Didn’t have breakfast as there are so many places to chose from in the city. La Rochelle was amazing and I will hopefully come back and would have no hesitation in staying in La Tour de Nesle again.

Really was a teeny, tiny room and sleeping in a cupboard describes it extremely well, having said that it was ideal for a quick one night stay for 2 adults, don’t think I would like to have stayed any longer as not much storage, but the storage they had was quite effective. The bed was large enough and very comfortable but as someone said, the mattress protector was very cheap quality and made the bed so very hot, also the air conditioning was not that brilliant but it had been in the high 30 at the time of our stay so may have been that the air con could not cope with the heat. We actually slept on top of the duvet, solving the problem of the hot mattress protector and used the bottom sheet as a cover. Ibis really could do with sorting this problem out as it is not ideal. We felt the hotel was in a quiet position, felt safe and we did not have any problems with noisy street noise or noisy neighbours. The shower was very good. Not a lot of street parking but we managed to get in and it felt quite safe to leave the car, worked out at €4 for 2 hours and free between the hours of 12-2 and 6pm - 9am in the morning, free all day Sunday. There is one delivery space that you can pull in at for 10 mins if dropping luggage off and if available, but bare in mind this is a one way street so you can not block it with your car for unloading purposes. The Verdun car park is quite close by, maybe a 5-10 minute walk and apparently only €1 for the day at the weekend. The day we arrived it was torrential rain so we were glad of the street parking. Did not have breakfast as lots of bars and boulangeries nearby. Check in and out was 12pm. The staff were friendly and helpful, they also have luggage storage. One tip, just be careful with travel adaptors, the charging points are sort of upside down behind a kind of light baffle affair and very easy to unplug your devise and leave the adaptor behind….anyone wanting one you will find ours in room 107!

My familycand I stayed here for a couple of nights. We are a fanily of 4 and stayed in 1 rrom The two main things going for this hotel are the secure car park and the location. The car park has decent sized spaces and is gated at night. Location: It's a 5 to 10 minute walk into the port. The beach is also walkable in 5 to 10 minutes. The staff were very friendly, too. The rooms are a bit dated. The aircon does work, but it isn’t powerful. You need to shut the curtains when it's sunny, so the aircon has a chance of keeping the room cool. The bar/restaurant is pleasant enough. The breakfast was okay but we though it was quite expensive for what it is. 18 euro per adult. One of the days we went to a local cafe and spent half as much. The toilet is on its own and has no basin or sanitiser. This means you touch 5 door handles before you can wash your hands. Yuk! Maybe we are fusy. The TV was good, decent storage and a good fridge. The room was too small for 4, really. We only slept in there, so it was no big deal. It would have been fine for 2 or 3 people. All things considered, we would stay here again.

Excellent! Der Service ist sensationell gut. Die Zimmer sauber , groß genug mit kleiner Küche und Kühlschrank. Der Pool ist sehr gepflegt und es gibt eine Poolbar. Am heißesten Tag Europas war dieses Hotel unsere Rettung. Wir hatten ein Problem mit dem Auto das Personal war super nett und hat uns geholfen unser Auto bis in die Tiefgarage zu bringen. Die Bar ist gut bestückt und zum Drink bekommt man auch professionelle Informationen. Wir haben Den Wellnessbereich genutzt mit Sauna, Dampfsauna und Massage. Es gab insgesamt nur positive Erfahrungen. Das Personal ist jeder im Einzelnen mehrsprachig. Großartig! Wir kommen gern wieder .
