Hotel berhampiran Espace Encan, La Rochelle

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.

Here we have a nice hotel, 10mn walk from the City center. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean, a very good point. Another great one is the bed which is really high quality for a perfect night ! If you are looking for something special, try their Suite with Jacuzzi, amazing one and you can even use it at night, great moment ahead :-) Location, Service, Rooms, everything was perfect. The improvement points are definitey 2 for us : - There is no Bar ! You can order food and drinks al night but there is no bar, the guy will make it for you in the kitchen that's it ! First time that we sleep in a 4 stars hotel without a real cosy place called BAR. Best exemple is to order a cocktail and you will see that there is not a real Barman. - The Food. There is no restaurant of course but the breakfast is very poor compared to competition and if we arrive around 9/10am (it closes at 11am), there is no more fruits....They do not refill actively. Another unique thing is that they do not clean the tables. You can arrive at 9/10am or 11am, all tables will be there as the clients left them and you cannot choose the table then. First time ever we see this !! In short, very nice to sleep and enjoy a Suite but services around (Bar, food...) are not at a 4stars quality expected.

Kyriad is a fairly new hotel chain, until recently represented only in France. The price is higher than F1, where I usually settle, but closer to the center. Since I booked shortly before the trip, there were no cheap options, so we ended up here. Moreover, I have already stayed at Kyriad before. In addition to a good location, it should be noted a comfortable room with a classic design in muted tones, a TV, a spacious bathroom. There really is no refrigerator, if anyone cares. There is a vending machine with drinks and snacks downstairs.

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 . 

My favorite hotel on a recent driving trip in France. Rooms were nice size and felt new, clean, and luxury level. Breakfast, while perhaps a bit expensive, was very good with the best scrambled eggs, and all the other usual items you would expect on a breakfast buffet. All the staff were nice and gave me good parking tips. The hotel is in a good location just a couple blocks from the cathedral and about a 10 minute walk down to all the waterside cafes and restaurants. At the desk they gave me a map for a walking tour of New Rochelle. For me, an unexpected find was the 'Bunker Museum' if you are interested in WWII. Tip: about 12 minutes walk north is patisserie 'Reveur de Pain' -- make sure you have the right one as there is at least one other patisserie that you will pass before you get there -- anyway, Reveur de Pain is not to be missed. (You can also drive up there if you have a car.) Oh, yes, the most convenient parking for the hotel is if you can get the outdoor lot at Place Verdun. If full, you can go to the more expensive indoor lot, and then move your car later.

We called to see if they had a room for one night, and so we arrived to a very friendly welcome after yet another tiring journey plus driving through Rochelle was a bit of a nightmare.. We were welcomed by the lovely Christiane and after the formalities of checking in we made our way to our allocated room. First impressions Wow! A huge room overlooking a beautiful garden, a lovely big shower, separate toilet, and a comfortable lounge area complete with a fridge stocked with some water, and a coffee machine The bed was large and very comfortable - everything was just so! Apart from the coffee cups which were far too big for the machine , and so it happened that when my husband was making a coffee, the cup now with hot coffee toppled over, scalding his hand and thus creating a large stain on the carpet. Whoever thought that putting large tea cups by a coffee machine that takes espresso size cups was a good idea? attention to detail.. Dinner in the restaurant was a farce. We waited a good while to be assisted to an available table - there were quite a few empty and unlaid tables, so when I asked the waiter for us to be seated at a somewhat larger table, his instant reaction was a very firm NO.. as it was supposed to be FOR FOUR PEOPLE - NOT TWO!! It hadn't even been laid up for 4 people.. and so I asked if he was expecting 4 people to arrive when there were so many other tables available. But the man said NO, and so NO it was.. It could only get better .. or could it? he placed us on a small empty table and then it took ages for him to arrive with the cutlery. We then waited another 15 or so minutes before he came with the menu on a blackboard,. By now we didn't even want to be in the restaurant any longer so we asked for something simple like an omelette, again the answer was a firm NO, and by this point we just decided to have some cheese and bread to share and be done with it. that too took an age to make its way to our table. All in all not a good experience so after our cheese and bread supper we upped and left and went back to our room We ended up staying for 2 nights as it was really comfortable - plus we needed a good rest, and we avoided the restaurant at all cost A very special thanks to Christiane!
