Hôtel Le Bord'O Vieux Port

Hôtel Le Bord'O Vieux Port

8/10 Good
"A very well located hotel, handy for the station, and near the harbour and main sights. The room was fine, as was the breakfast. It was a bit noisy though, not from outside but from inside, as the floor outside my 1st floor room was very creaky, so that every time someone walked past (and you had to walk past to go up to the higher floors) you heard it."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay in La Rochelle. The staff were super friendly, really helpful with recommendations and we felt really well looked after. We were also offered a welcome drink which was a wonderful start to our stay. Great location for exploring La Rochelle allowing you to walk everywhere. We were a family of 5 staying at the hotel and we had plenty of space - two rooms with an interlocking door, one being a suite so we didn't feel cramped at all. We didn't want to leave!"
