Short stay in La Rochelle

Good night stay in this hotel close to the action. Older place with nice staff, good breakfast for 10 euros. The mattress was not very comfortable and the wifi accessible only in the common places. Reasonable price, was really ok.

Accueil très violent

Mise à part l'accueil et la honte dont j'ai été victime lors de mes deux premiers jours au sein de cet hôtel, celui-ci est très propre et le nécessaire est dans la chambre. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux avec un large choix.
