5/5 Excellent
Great hotel
"Wonderful hotel in a central location"
A verified traveller stayed at Best Western Premier Masqhotel
"We had great stay. It was a bit tricky to find our way in because of the pedestrianisation of the street where it is located. Despite having booked a parking spot, we were not given instructions on how to go about passing the electric bollards until we called the hotel on our second trial. But we were then given clear directions over the phone whilst traveling which was a great help. Despite the fact that like many places in France there is barely not many restaurants open on Sundays and Mondays and so was unfortunately the restaurant of the Hotel. the only negative point was the lift does make quite a bit of noise and that there was a bad smell coming from the bathroom drains. Which was spotlessly clean so must be the city drains issue. We were offered a room upgrade for our wedding anniversary stay and all staff were extremely professional and welcoming. We will definitely consider staying there again."

"We stayed for one night at this property. Great location with free parking close by. A good base for exploring La Rochelle. Would stay again but mattress not very comfortable and first hotel I have ever stayed in where they ask you to take your rubbish out yourself. It served a purpose and the bottles of water and sweets were a nice touch. "
A verified traveller stayed at Lagrange Apart'HOTEL L'Escale Marine
"Great location in a lovely place. Large room over looking the harbour. The only down side to that was a bit noisy in the morning. The staff were lovely and helped us with bags up to the room and could not have been more helpful.
They showed us where to get free parking about 10 mins from the hotel"
"No frills no fuss, perfect for a short stay, close to all attractions. The extra time allowed for check out is very convenient. Great value for money breakfast was a added bonus. Staff helpful and friendly "
A verified traveller stayed at B&B HOTEL La Rochelle Centre les Minimes
"The terrace is a big plus for the hotel and the lovely view. I also liked the fact that it was out of town and encompassed a very pleasant walk through the tree-lined pathway.
The breakfast and aperitifs were all very nice, but I must say, the staff were all brilliant. Really friendly, easygoing, helpful. I would easily recommend it and go again! "
