Top 10 Couleur cafe Hotels

We stayed here for a short Anniversary trip to La Rochelle, and the hotel itself has a great location situated close to the Old Port and a stone’s throw from the Lantern Tower, large west car park, the beach and nearby animal parc. Furthermore it is on the doorstep of the semi-pedestrianised Rue St Jean du Perot and its multitude of restaurants that lead down to the harbourside. Although we stayed over during a bank holiday the Hotel was seemingly very quiet, a tribute to the soundproofing perhaps? Indeed we only realised that there were a lot of other guests when we saw them at Breakfast, which was buffet style and reasonably substantial. Our Exclusive room on the second floor was a bit too minimalist for my taste. There were no drawers for clothes, just a couple of open shelves next to a hanging space and there was not too much art in evidence although there was a large picture by the ground-floor entrance to the lift. On the negative side if you stop outside the main entrance to offload cases etc it is quite a circuitous route to get back behind the hotel to its own car park, which you have to pre-book (at a charge). We parked at ground level which is quite tight to get into. I never ventured down to the underground part of the Car park to see how accessible that was so can’t comment. On leaving the lift to walk to our room there was a damp/musty smell in the corridor and although it wasn’t too evident in our room we found that all our clothes smelt of it when we came home which wasn’t a pleasant reminder of one’s stay! Strangely for a city centre hotel in the room itself there was absolutely no hotel/town information booklet, or the usual tourist brochures one would associate with a location nor even a list of the TV Channels available on the flat screen in-room TV. Our trip did not afford us time to take in the ‘Spa’ part of the hotel. All I can say is that if there is such a facility it was not very well signposted. The bar did have a sign on it about the sauna but it implied that you had to give advance notice if you wanted to use it so that it could be switched on! I assume there was more to it than that but our short stay didn’t afford us the time to try it outif it was there.

Very modern surrounded by the park trees. Hard to realize in the center of a large city. Very quiet. Very large parking area. Had a great room, very good facilities. The outside terrace by the pool was excellent. Breakfast, outside was very varied and lots of favorite choices. The main problem for me was the distance in the heat from the old port, where I had pre -booked dinner. Taxis were not available and the walk was tiring. Staff were very helpful. My only complaint was the hotel situation not being signed as the park entrance gave no indication of a large hotel in its center.

Hôtel très bien situé, proche de la gare et du centre

Various services and environmental sanitation are available, the service staff is also very friendly, the room network is also good, that is, the room area is a little small, and there is no slippers is not convenient.
