Top La Rochelle Hotel Reviews

Hôtel Les Brises

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. All the key members spoke enough English to allow three bricks and one American to communicate location of the hotel is excellent. I recommend staying on the lower floors once you get above the third floor. The water pressure in the shower is weak that’s the only negative I can possibly think of breakfast was great. Would definitely go back again."

Maison des Ambassadeurs

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 5 nights in a 2 room suite which provided a seperate bedroom and a sitting room with 2 single beds. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was quite modern. The hotel lobby is great. It is furnished with comfortable sofas and chairs, there's a large central bar, and because of the chilly weather in mid October there was a wonderful wood fire buring most of the time. The hotel has a small heated pool which got lots of use from several families, and a sauna and spa. We didn't avail ourselves of the 25 euro breakfast as we prefered a coffee and croissant and there are lots of bar/coffee shops nearby. The hotel is an easy walk down to the harbour where there are more restaurants and bars than you can count."

Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - La Rochelle Vieux Port

10/10 Excellent

"I was at first disappointed, because I reserved a harbor-front view room, but when I checked in, it was not available. However, the thoroughly apologetic desk staff provided a consolation room, which had a good view of a jumbled terrain of ancient, brick-tile roofs with a church steeple behind. It also had a private balcony which was large enough to accommodate a small table and 2 chairs. We also were complemented their breakfast, which was huge in its variety of breads, rolls, salads, cheeses, eggs, meats and fruits. The room was large enough for a comfortable queen bed, tables, a desk and a couple of chairs. Although the outside of the building was, I am guessing, at least a few centuries old, the inside was completely remodeled with all modern conveniences (lots of plugs!) So, lots of charm with modern comforts. It was right in the middle of the ancient harbor. Steps away from museums, shops, restaurants and the ferris wheel! It was a very nice hotel. I would stay there again."

Hôtel Le Champlain

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a standout. Exceptionally comfortable bed - lots of soft padding on a firm mattress. The lighting in the room was terrific unlike most hotels. The bathroom was beautiful. Long, wide, and deep bathtub with safety handles on the side. A luxurious bathing experience. A towel dryer/warmer that was easy to operate with a simple on/off button. The climate control was excellent , and the room had two windows which could be opened for fresh air. The street was exceptionally quiet. The breakfast was solid and good."
