Les Gens De Mer La Rochelle

Friendly staff and ideal location next to the train station

Nice little room for a family, although the staircase going to second level inside the room was super steep and scary for kids. We put some chairs at the top and some pillows at the bottom just in case.

We stayed here in La Rochelle over Bastille Day (14July) and France's victory at the World Cup Final (15 July 2018) and I don't think we could have chosen a better place. It s nicely situated between the railway station and the harbour / Big Wheel area and the staff were welcoming and helpful, despite all the joyous distractions outside!

This is a comfortable, budget place located right next to the bustling harbor but far enough away to keep things peaceful. It's a somewhat worn, simple property but the service is very helpful and the price is great for what you are getting. Despite the slightly worn facilities, everything was kept spotless. So, a pleasant, simple place at at the right price. Perfect for family travel. One big piece of advice: If you want to get paid, and much cheaper parking in the hotel rather the surrounding garages, you need to come earlier in the day as the lot only holds about a dozen cars. Breakfast is meh, and I recommend skipping the fee and instead eating at one of the nice cafes and bakeries along the harbor.

Good parking. Great location. Good staff. Good value. Room very small and bed a bit uncomfortable. You get what you pay for.

This hotel is a budget hotel but is comfortable and clean. There is a car park and the location is excellent, just behind the aquarium and a short walk into town. The staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside is the breakfast, which is poor. There is very little choice and the quality of the food is only ok at best. We have stayed before and knew this so went to cafes for breakfast instead. Overall would recommend.

Great location, central to everything. Sadly Hotel car park was full so we had to use a public car park which cost us 18 euros instead of 11 euros at the hotel.

Cons: The entire hotel was like a sauna, having trapped the heat in from the previous week. There was the tiniest of fans on the desk which was completely worthless. I had a door to a balcony and no other window, and although it was nice having a balcony, if you leave the door open, bugs come flying in since there is no screen. Even though the balcony itself was cool and comfortable no air made its way into the room even with the door ajar. There was a TV that I couldn't turn on. The entire floor smelled awful. The bathroom lights flickered. Pros: The WiFi worked fairly well and the location was fantastic! Also, the shower had good water pressure and temperature.

Had a pleasant stay here. All the staff were friendly and the hotel is perfectly based for a car-free holiday, just steps away from bus stops, harbour and train station.

we stayed here on our way back to Spain. Excellent location for the harbour and restaurants. Staff very polite and accommodating. The room was clean although in need of refurbishment. We would certainly stay here again. The parking was not secure at night.
