10/10 Exceptional

3 nights in La Rochelle

Excellent location of this hotel allowed us to experience a lot of things by foot. All staff members were very friendly, helpful and polite. The swimming pool was a real bonus. Would highly recommend for families. Breakfast until 11am children under 16 free. Great value for money.

1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good choice

This Novotel was good. Nice room (520) , - and cozy restaurant and nice small pool. Friendly personal. Very within small walking distance to both old town and the harbor. One bad thing: Please cut out this meaningsless "telling room number" to breakfast. Everyone can say a number. And someone did. Up on our check out, they want to charge us for a brekfast we never did enter. Must be very easy to just put up a scanner, and scan room key card when enter for breakfast ?Even more easy just to let it be included in room price.

Novotel la Rochelle, je conseil.

Hôtel proche du vieux port, parfait pour l'emplacement. Le plus , le parking . Intérieurement l'hôtel est très agréable. Décoration moderne et cocouning. Très bon accueil. Chambre spacieuse et agréable. Seule bémol, pas de sèche serviettes dans la salle de bain. Le petit-déjeuner très varié. Je conseil.

Dommage que les chambres soient avec des canapés lits immenses. Aurait besoin de rafraîchir les chambres. Par contre un personnel agréable et à l'écoute. Une mention spéciale pour le personnel de salle au petit déjeuner et à la réceptionniste..

The property was well located and well presented. The dining options were very limited in the hotel so we had to find an alternative option. This is no problem as long as the weather is kind, otherwise, expect to be soaked.
