My second stay at this hotel (Yachtman) and they always outdo themselves. The rooms are fabulous and super clean. Their cleaning ladies are always helpful and respectful of our privacy, accepting to assist but not enter. The establishment is dog friendly and right on the docks- absolutely fantastic

Great location

Great location on the harbour. The pool is a welcome relief from the heat. Staff are friendly. The only negative which impacts the scores is the air conditioning in our room was broken which made nights swelteringly hot.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights stay. The small pool was a big bonus but it’s all about the view across the marina, location & the excellent staff.

Loved the hotel, perfect location and nice room. The hotel has some renovation work going on otherwise I would rate it very highly. Staff are really very nice. There are only two negatives - it is a little bit complicated to park in their car park but ok when you know how, and I would have preferred to have real cups and glasses in the room rather than flimsy paper ones which were too hot to hold to drink the coffee. Located in the harbour, walking distance around the town centre.

It was fine. The parking is a bit odd. The pool being in a courtyard reduces sun dramatically, but was welcome nonetheless. The room lacke for a few hooks.

Should have been closed whilst renovation hotel.

Thé hôtel will be beautiful once the renovation work has finished. Health and safety we an issue with power tool wires across the main corridor. Building work started at 8 am and went on all day. The lounge and the swimming pool were out of bounds. We managed you use the swimming pool towards the end of the stay, but if was difficult to get out without any steps.The fridge in the room hadn’t been emptied and they was smelly cold fish and chips inside when we arrived. The staff were very helpful in trying to refund us and try to find us another hotel but last minute hotel accommodation not easy to find at short notice. In the end we decided we had no option but to stay. We did receive free breakfasts and complimentary wine to compensate for the inconvenience.

Great location for old harbour

We booked the junior suite and it was very comfortable and roomy. Was not expecting to see individual plastic toiletries which were fairly basic- no shower cap. Was expecting glasses for drinking instead of paper cups. Glasses were provided upon request. Plugs in sinks not working and reported. Shame there was no tea/ coffee provided in room as with other French hotels. Staff were excellent and really helpful in all areas of our stay. Perfect location for the old harbour.

Parfait

Super weekend dans cet hôtel hyper bien situé dans la ville.Le plus une piscine qui en pleine canicule a été des plus salvatrices. Le petit déjeuner est top et de qualité. Notre chambre la 423 était parfaite, une super literie, une super insonorisation, des volets électriques, des wc séparé et une belle salle de douche. Le petit moins , les voyants de la clim qui ne peuvent pas s'éteindre. On y a apposé des petits caches pour dormir.

Sejour affreux

Hotel vetuste : Ascenseur incertain... va t il se bloquer entre 2 etages ? Cle de porte de chambre défectueuse :difficile de l insérer ou de l ôter de la serrure (il faut tirer des 2 mains et maintenir la porte avec le pied !!!). Climatisation impossible a regler , il faut faire venir le receptionniste. La television marche par intermittence, avec un "no signal" pendant 1 heure le soir de 10h à 11h. Pas de possiblite de joindre la reception par téléphone, il faut descendre les 3 étages à pied. Et surtout pour couronner le tout , un directeur absolument odieux , irrespectueux , sarcastique , agressif , méprisant ,quand on lui explique poliment les difficultés rencontrées . Il se nomme Mr Nicolas Gesta . Il ne reconnait aucun des dysfonctionnements de l hôtel, et dit que le client est de mauvaise foi.Il n est pas désolé du tout, pour tous ces désagréments . C est une honte d avoir à faire à un pareil individu . Pour environ 150 euros la nuitée, j ai passé une tres mauvaise journée après ces insultes et ce mépris. Ah oui ... 13 euros de parking non comptés en compensation... sincèrement j aurai préféré les payer et etre traitée avec politesse et respect . Voilà à quoi le souvenir de La Rochelle est associé ! Les autres membres du personnel sont competents et aimables , particulièrement le receptionniste du matin de mon départ, il devrait devenir directeur , à la place de Mr Nicolas Gesta. L hôtel est bien trop cher pour son etat vetuste ,sans parler de Nicolas Gesta !
