Young Deborah and Pierre especially could come home with me to befriend my two offspring of the same age. The place itself is a gorgeous neo-classical structure of heavy sandstone blocks finished with contemporary fixings that together create a refined yet funky air of nouveau chic. Great value too. ##### Larochelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chee 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Okay for short stay!

Une hébergement bien constitué avec une chambre partagée spacieuse, des sanitaires éloignés pour éviter les nuisances sonores. Seul bémol, le dépôt du bagage à l’arrivée, avant l’horaire de prise de chambre, est payant. Montant faible (max 5€) mais dans le principe d’une auberge de jeunesse, c’est un service qui ne devrait pas être facturé. ##### Charly Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francois 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Une très bonne adresse. grand dortoir de 8 . les lits sont modernes confortables et procurent une certaine intimité. l'équipe est super sympathique et serviable.

Continuez à bien entretenir les locaux afin que tout reste propre et sans poussières car dans les chambres, avec le bois et les draps, il faut beaucoup aspirer car beaucoup de pluches peuvent se former. Le choix au petit-déjeuner est superbe et tout est appétissant. ##### Stéphanie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sébastien 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Séjour en famille En visite à la Rochelle, nous sommes venus en famille pour une nuit. Les plus : Proche centre ville et situé dans une ruelle plutôt calme. Très beau bâtiment renovée et super decoration. Prix abordable Pas de parking gratuit à proximité mais possibilite de se garer proche de l'etablissement tout de même à moindre coût Malgré que ce soit une auberge de jeunesse peu de nuisance vis à vis des clients (il y en a mais on le sait en choississant ce genre d'établissement). Les moins : Pas de buffet pour le petit dejeuner (chaque produit se paie à l'unité). Petit dejeuner inclus uniquement continental (1 demi baguette ou 1 croissant et 1 boissons chaude ou froide). Proximité avec l'accueil pas idéal pour une chambre familial (une chambre en retrait aurait évité d'être réveillé par un aspirateur (?!) à 3h du matin par exemple) ##### Sébastien Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### elena 9 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Camera molto confortevole e curata in un palazzo bellissimo in pieno centro .

Il se trouve proche du centre, donc le déplacement n'est pas un problème, c'est à seulement quelques minutes à pied de La Grosse Horloge. L’heure du Check-in est à 15h donc c’est pas trop tard comme dans des autres hôtels, et ça permet d’y arriver et après aller se promener dans la ville. Les toilettes et les douches sont propres et toujours disponibles, malheureusement la nuit il faisait un peu chaud. Les chambres sont propres également, et le service est très bon, les réceptionnistes sont gentilles. Le lit était confortable. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place pour ranger la valise pour ceux qui dorment dans le lit du haut. Les couvertures sont confortables. La réception est agréable, j'y ai pris le petit-déjeuner et c'était bon. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nassim 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Nassim Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul 15 Jul 2025 ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 13 Jul 2025 ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Merizek 22 Apr 2025 ##### Merizek Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vera 22 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Vera Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Itamar 12 Jan 2025 ##### Itamar Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sebastien 8 Jan 2025 ##### Sebastien Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephanie 25 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### stephanie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yingying 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Yingying Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacques 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jacques Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Elite Palace Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockholm-Hotels-Elite-Palace-Hotel.h1559.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Bordeaux Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Moxy-Hotel-Bordeaux-Wine-Museum.h65705899.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Bordeaux Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Novotel-Bordeaux-Centre.h26308.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Bordeaux Centre Ville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Mercure-Bordeaux-Centre-Ville.h2168.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel des 4 Soeurs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Hotel-Des-4-Soeurs.h2686367.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Konti by HappyCulture](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Hotel-Konti-By-HappyCulture.h1201856.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Bordeaux Centre Gare Saint Jean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Hotel-Mercure-Bordeaux-Centre-Gare-Saint-Jean.h7041.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel de Normandie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Hotel-De-Normandie.h27527371.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Aberdeen Centre -
