Guest Reviews

• Bruno (10/5): - Accueil sympa et pro, bienveillance et humour. Belle déco avec goût et charmant. Bien tenu, propreté irréprochable. Petit déjeuner complet. Bonne literie. Manque juste double vitrage chambre 1. Dommage que la fiabilité des démodulateurs TV ne soit pas au RDV. Nous recommandons tout de même sans frein.
• Simon (10/5): - Amazing place. We had room 10 which I had seen some people moaning about in reviews as has no window, was dark with no ventilation and had a funny smell. Let me tell you that room 10 is great!!! Yes no window but doors have shutters which allow plenty of light and air in. Granted the wardrobe was a bit musty however nothing a bit of airing didn’t sort. If you want to stay at the Ritz, then book the Ritz, however if you want to stay at a beautiful French shabby chic cosy and tranquil hotel then this is for you!!! Cannot recommend highly enough!!!!!!!
• Anna (10/5): - Très bon séjour avec ma sœur. Super accueil. Chambre et petit déjeuner au top!
• Verified traveler (4/5): Très décevant - Cela pourrait être un très bel établissement mais tel n'est pas le cas ! Vouloir respecter le caractère typique ce n'est pas faire fi de toute notion de confort. Aucune insonorisation, pas de climatisation, équipements hors d'âge, voire hors d'usage... Propreté vraiment discutable, même pour les oreillers ou les serviettes ! Un accueil très mitigé, agréable à l'arrivée, froid et même désagréable pour la petit déjeuner. En parlant de ce petit déjeuner, café insipide, sinon ce sont de bons produits En résumé avec une rénovation de fond en comble ce pourrait être génial, mais la réalité est une séjour gâché par des conditions globalement désastreuses.
• Fabien (2/5): Passez votre chemin - Pas de climatisation Équipement vétuste. Décoration vieillotte Aucune insonorisation
• Verified traveler (10/5): Très bonne adresse - Il s’agit d’une maison de charme très bien décorée Avec beaucoup de surprises agréable Le problème est avec Hotels.com qui avait annulé ma réservation antérieure : je me suis retrouvé sans Chambre. Heureusement, la maison douce a pu me proposer un hébergement. Je les ai remercie. Par contre, je suis en litige avec Hotels.com : il est très difficile à avoir et quand on leur envoie un mail, il nous répondent qu’ils mettront 72 heures : le service client d’Hotels.com n’est pas à la hauteur
• Eddie (6/5): Mitigé j'ai pas eu la bonne chambre 😔 - L'hôtel est situé dans un quartier calme. L'accueil professionnel et souriant. La chambre était spacieuse et confortable. Le problème lors du séjour a été que je n'ai pas eu de TV(image qui figeait sans cesse) le wifi fonctionnait mal et ma chambre au rez de chaussée était côté de la porte d'entrée des résidents. Du coup entre le claquement de la porte, les touristes qui parlait très fort entre 23h et minuit, le bruit des vélos, le repos était relatif. Je pense que les chambres situées en fond de cour ou à l'étage doivent être "douce"
• HERVE (10/5): - Xxxx
• TERENCE (8/5): - ( ) Authentically French; helpful staff (-) No lifts, and steep-ish narrow stairs to upstairs bedrooms; inconvenient parking
• Jason (10/5): - Super freindly staff
• Costa (10/5): - Très joli hôtel
• Diane (10/5): - The staff were so lovely. Everything was so clean and it was so peaceful there. The garden is lovely and the breakfasts were yummy.
• Roger (8/5): Ok value - Reasonable value. Would have appreciated some milk in the room.
• Lauren de (10/5): - Perfect location and charming hotel. Honestly think it’s 3 stars make it underrated! The pictures don’t do it justice. The staff we’re really attentive but never invasive. I’d go back
• Roxana (10/5): - Wonderfull hotel and staff. I've stayed here twice and everything was perfect every time. It's in an ideal location walking distance to everything, the breakfast is delicious and the rooms are very charming :).
• Danila (6/5): Very disappointed - It was very disappointing having read such great reviews. I think we were in an older room….. toilet was like a black room! Black painted walls trying to hide pipes and poor wall condition. Holes in the floor where pipes come through. Bed head was old rusted shutters…..probably vintage but…… poor pillows and uncomfortable bed. Our paid parking had been double booked due to a clerical error. Location was fantastic and staff very nice. First time we’re stayed with a hotel.com place and felt so let down. It was not a cheap stay either! We’re well aware island life is not cheap as we live on one!
• Véronique (10/5): - Très bel établissement. Personnel compétent et à l écoute. Maison de charme.
• Timothee (8/5): - I liked the location. I didn't like the toilets
• CAROLE (10/5): - Séjour très agréable. La bâtisse est superbe, le patio arboré et fleuri est paisible et la chambre très confortable. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe.
• Gareth (8/5): - Quirky hotel, lovely staff, location great (in the middle of St Martin). It was an adventure finding it through the narrow cobbled streets and then had to park 1/2 mile away - fun though. Lovely courtyard ideal for an aperitif Would definitely recommend. Staff couldn't have been more helpful
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect Stay - This was our third stay at La Maison Douce and - as on the previous visits - everything was perfect. The service was friendly and prompt, the rooms clean and tidy. Highly recommended!
• sabrina (8/5): agréable - Séjour en famille agréable, une découverte de l ile de ré. Nous reviendrons
• Emmanuel (10/5): Exceptionnel - Tout a été parfait ! Excellent accueil ! Service au top ! Petit déjeuner excellent ! Je recommande
• Roxana (10/5): - Wonderfully maintained property in beautiful Saint Martin de Re! Will definitely go back.
• Marc (8/5): Havre de paix - Cadre de l’hôtel très agréable, bien situé proche du centre dans des ruelles tranquilles. Il faut s’organiser pour amener ses bagages car il n’y a pas de place pour stationner à proximité. L’hôtel étant ancien, on peut entendre les autres clients si ceux ci ne sont pas discrets.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great location and very cosy - Great hotel. Very convenient and close to centre of town. Would highly recommend.
• Pascal (8/5): - Personnel chaleureux et très sympathique. État de la chambre à notre arrivée : planche des toilettes mal fixée / 2 ampoules dans la salle de bain ne fonctionnaient pas / évacuation de l’eau de la douche très lente ( due à l’ancienneté de la demeure)!et carte de la télévision périmée. Je trouve que cela fait beaucoup après tout ce temps de confinement qui aurait pu être mis à profit pour effectuer ces contrôles. Pour information prix très élevé ( + 35% ) en passant par un site alors que le prix change tous les jours et est affiché devant la porte d’entrée Malgré notre remarque concernant le prix et les défauts dans la chambre et 4 nuits avec petit déjeuner, aucun geste commercial n’a été proposé ( par exemple : une partie des petits déjeuner offerts ....)
• Verified traveler (8/5): Fint trädgård men saknar AC - Trivsamt hotell med mysig trädgård och bra frukost. AC saknades på vårt rum så ganska varmt och kvavt på rummet under natten. Hotellets parkering ligger 5 min promenad från hotellet.
• John (10/5): A very comfortable B&B in a good location - Ile de Ré is a beautiful place to visit. Saint-Martin-de-Ré is so quaint and beautiful! The Maison Douce is nice, with a friendly staff and lots of lounges where you can read, visit, and have breakfast. The room we had was very nice, although not spacious.The location is within a minute's walk of the port with all its restaurants, boutiques, and the market (marché) -- not to be missed! The Wifi worked, but might prove difficult to connect to f you are not patient or not computer-savvy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Veldig hyggelig og god beliggenhet. Minus for dårlig fungerende wi-fi.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Great location - Cute little hotel done up in old style, so don't expect mod cons - floors are old, doors slam... so can be noisy at times. Wifi didn't always work
• Claire (10/5): Excellent - Very clean.great location. Charming hotel.
• Ricardo (10/5): Charming relaxed and friendly hotel - Located in the old town of St Martin it’s only a short stroll to the picturesque harbour, great restaurants and bars and some high end shopping. The pace of the town in October was very relaxed. Other small towns on Isle de Re are easily accessible by bike along safe flat bike paths. Staff at the hotel were extremely helpful in suggesting places to eat and visit. Both receptionists spoke excellent English. If arriving by train to La Rochelleits it’s possible to get a bus to St Martin but it’s a bit of a hike over cobbles to the hotel. Better to let the hotel arrange a taxi for you at La Rochelle station (approx 50 euros). Taxi drivers at the station taxi stand appeared a bit reluctant to make the trip.
• Deirdre (8/5): More for a couple not for a young family - Lovely hotel, I would however note that it’s not really equipped to deal with young children. Lots of status to the family room we stayed in and open staircase out of the room which was a hazard for our 2 year old twins! Friendly staff, lovely setting
• Martin (4/5): - Cramped, noisy and uncomfortable room. Good breakfast and pleasant garden.
• Cyril (8/5): Amoureux - Petit week-end amoureux ambience calme pour nous et petit déjeuner superbe
• Trini (10/5): Beautiful hotel in a traditional house - The hotel was very pretty and close to the centre of St Martin and the port. Superb for getting around and a lovely peaceful house. Only negative was the darkness of our bedroom, room 11. More lighting needed even with the curtains fully drawn on a sunny day. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return.
• padom (8/5): personnel tres acceuillant discret - tres jolie demeure reposante tout pres des commerces port marche avec de charmantes rues autour ou nous avons flaner apres le diner au restaurant
• Maria (8/5): Lovely place, not so lovely bathroom solution - Very nice location, within walking distance to all of Saint Martin but still secluded, staff lovely and premises well-kept and beautiful. Truly picturesque and a lush and cozy oasis in town. Nicely decorated room with a comfortable bed. On the downside, the (deluxe) room was quite small with a bath tub in the middle of the room (against a wall) and the toilet in a tiny booth in the corner next to the tub close to the head of the bed, with no sink as it was placed on the other side of the tub. Not ideal for a romantic setting if you like toilet privacy! Also, there was no possibility to take a private shower with the small see-through cotton curtain provided and the water from the tub leaked over the floor. If you are really comfortable with your travel companion and/or ready to use the toilet in the hallway, I would deeply recommend the place anyway!
• Lorena (8/5): - Personnel très accueillant, bel hôtel , mais ça sent un peu l’humidité, belle Décoration des chambres mais trop petites.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is very charming with a lovely garden to boot. It offers a delicious breakfast with all the French goodies The rooms are sparse but fine. The lesser attractive part is the bed and matlass. The bed is quite low to the ground, the matlass quite hard. Nevertheless I would go back again for the location is superbe.
• Jean-Guy (8/5): - Séjour très agréable mais surpris que la chambre ne corresponde pas à la réservation faite par hôtel.com. Nous avons eu une chambre d'un prix inférieur au prix payé par hôtel.com
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely but needs improvement - This is a lovely hotel but it is lacking in ambience and polish given the price tag. Lovely staff and garden. Room was very clean. Things that need improvement - dreadful wifi, cheap linen, terrible terrible lighting in the rooms - no ceiling lights only lamps so really difficult to actually see as the decor is grey and nasty instant coffee only in the room. A few easy things like an honesty bar, a cosy reception room and a nespresso machine in the cosy reception room would make this hotel a stand out.
• STEPHANE (10/5): - Romantique à souhait . Les confitures du petit déjeuner sont excellentes. Le personnel est attentionné et l'endroit est très bien situé.
• margaret (8/5): - Pretty hotel in a central position.
• mimie (8/5): Hôtel des plus agréable - Hôtel dans lequel on se sent comme à la maison! Très cosy, qui respire le bien être et le bonheur. Un petit déjeuner EXCELLENT !!! Un accueil fantastique. Seul bémol l'insonorisation des chambres mais qui est vite oublié dans ce havre de paix idéalement situé.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very charming hotel in a good location. - The hotel has the French charm everywhere, and the staff was very accommodating. If the mattress didn't slope, I'd give it a 5. Perhaps, other rooms have replaced old mattresses.
• GRAHAM DAVID (10/5): A chic and relaxing hideaway. - A beautiful hotel spreading across two old buildings with a lovely garden/courtyard in the middle. Very tastefully decorated in a style that my wife and daughter loved (it`s a girl thing!). Very welcoming and helpful staff. Superb and extensive continental breakfast. Hidden away in a quiet lane only a couple of minutes walk from the stylish boutiques and the bars and restaurants of the harbour area. A great place to relax and unwind. We should have stayed longer. As with all original old buildings there could be a noise issue between rooms with single skin walls and floors/ceilings. Overall a lovely place to stay.
• Kevin (10/5): - Lovely boutique hotel in beautiful building only 5 minutes from the bustling port. Very good top quality breakfast. Charming and helpful staff.
• gareth (10/5): - Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Rooms clean, perfect location for the centre and harbour. Would stay again.
