La Rochelle Hotel Guide - 3 stars Hotels in La Rochelle, France

Let down by poor disorganised breakfast. Food very slow to be replenished.

Small hotel in old building that had been renovated. Stylish but some small issues No lift, air comm, fridge or safe in room. Very handy location one street back from old harbour & bars restaurants shops all on doorstep

We stayed 3 nights at Les Brises enjoying some of the pleasures of La Rochelle. Its setting is splendid - right on the shoreline about 20 minutes slow stroll along the front, through a little park, to the centre of town. Reception is staffed all through the night for late/early arrivals. Staff are friendly and helpful - even asked us if we would prefer to speak French or English - they realise some of us are learners! We enjoyed fine weather and took breakfast outside on the terrace - this is a real bonus for what is a very simple hotel. The tide laps right up against the terrace wall and you can watch lots of boats go sailing by. They offer excellent choices at breakfast - fruit, yoghurt, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, alongside good breads and croissants. Evening drinks can be taken on the terrace, too, before wandering into town to try one of the many, many restaurants in La Rochelle. (Or making a big picnic and enjoying that on one of the many benches along the front). Bike hire available and that's perfect way to get around like a local.

Arrived at rush hour and had difficulties in actually getting to the hotel which is surrounded by no entry signs - we got there on the fourth attempt! Make sure you reserve a parking space when booking. Excellent information from all the staff about what to see do etc. Liked the fact that we did not have to vacate our room until midday. The breakfast was extensive, tasty and brilliant value for money. Loved the location for accessibility to the historic parts and extensive choice of eateries/shopping. The wifi was very good. The shower wasn't hot enough. The products were very good. No tea making in the room but the bar price for tea was reasonable and selection available was extensive. Car parking very secure. Would recommend to friends and stay again without hesitation.

At first we felt the hotel was out of the city even though it advertiser that it's city centre,although it's not far to walk, ten minutes. It was on a special price that included parking that was safe for a trailer or cycle carrier. Very good connections to the many cycle routes around the city. Worth staying.

Good experience, very helpful staff, excellent location beside the harbour and the town. Great to have a heated pool.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The room was spacious and clean; the staff were friendly.

Within easy striking distance from the airport, we arrived after a late flight - no problem to await us (throughout our stay, the owners couldn't have been more helpful). Room rather smaller than expected, though they would've upgraded if needed. All clean, comfortable and in good condition. Breakfast was a veritable feast (not included in the price). One thing I would have appreciated is a kettle but then I'm a Brit! Would certainly recommend (and indeed have already recommended) to friends.
