Short Stay.
Very convenient location, central and close to bars and restaurants. La Rochelle is a great place to visit and the Ibis is a good hotel for a few nights in the centre.

Nice Property...useless internet service.
It was perfect in all ways but the internet was horrible! Dropped off countless times on both of my devices the entire time I was there. Had to keep signing in. I complained several times. If you plan to work out of this hotel with your laptop or other devices you may find this problem quite frustrating.

Hotel in the very centre of La Rochelle. Two exits - one to the old town, the other to the waterfront. Very convenient location. Staff very friendly. They don't speak English but they are trying their best to make your experience amazing. Breakfast is beyond lovely. I liked freshly squized orange juice which you can have unlimited while having breakfast. The cheeses and jams, bread and bacon are delicious. They have choice of very good teas and infusions which are available any time during your stay at reception and free of charge. Room is clean, airy, everything is in perfect order. Advantage is a hair dryer. I would stay there again and recommend to other people.

Amazing locations, friendly staff, good breakfast
Hotel staff spoke some English, I also speak some French so communication was excellent. Rooms were clean, bed mattresses were moving a bit on the bed, but we were not fussed as they were comfortable anyway. View was nice from our room on 4th floor. Breakfast was very nice, some products ran out and had to wait for staff to topup bread, other food, but overall very nice breakfast. Amazing location!

We usually very much enjoy the Ibis hotels. This one is very nice, incredibly well located but... some staff could us a little smile upgrade ! Not worth not going to but worth mentionning.

Ibis Styles Hotel, La Rochelle
Basic hotel in superb location. Friendly reception and quick check in. Very clean and tidy. The rooms are very clean and comfortable though not very big. Good air conditioning and the free wifi worked well.The bathroom is very cramped though the shower is quite spacious. Good breakfast for this standard of hotel though the breakfast area is a little cramped and gets very busy at times, but the staff work very hard to keep the food well replenished so there is always the full choice for everyone, and to keep the are clean and tidy. I think this hotel was good value in a nice location and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Excellent location
Everything as expected and more. Receptionist who checked us in was very friendly even though her English wasn't great (better than my French of course). Rooms are spotless, a bit small if you're staying for more than a few nights. Breakfast was great and plentiful. Location is perfect, you are right on the harbour.

Perfectly placed
All about the location really. Heading down to south of France this was our first taste of the western side of the country. Beautiful little city and the hotel was positioned excellent but if you’re not a good driver then be careful, some on the streets were narrower than your driveway back home and the one way roads are a nightmare!! If you stay here, set your satnav to the Place du Verdon for parking and walk down 4 minutes away as there’s no parking at the hotel.

Comfortable and friendly hotel superbly located
Easy access, friendly reception and cleaning staff who were attentive to my requests, best location ever between the shops and all the restaurants, the port is at your doorstep too. Room was small but comfortable and very clean. Bathroom was modern so more than enough for a short stsy when you only use the room to sleep.

A good one
Extremely well located, a stone's throw from the quay and by the historic city centre. Room fairly small but smart design and decoration meant it didn't matter.

Perfect for a stay in the middle town
Room small but clean and very comfortable bed. Parking major problem as most of La Rochelle has one way streets. Even once had found a parking place, the following day it took us over an hour to find the hotel again to pick up our bags. Watch out for reception staff who tried to charge us for room again even though we had pre paid via Expedia. We had to be very very forceful to get the lady to look up our booking before she agreed that the room had already been paid for. Would come again as very nice breakfast, close to all amenities. Would recommend

Good centrally placed hotel for the town
The hotel is central and ideal for a short stay in La Rochelle However there is no parking and it's on a busy road so tricky to stop and unload luggage Having said that Joan d'Arques car park is a short walk away and costs approx €10 for 24 hours. The cafe next door under the arch sells lovely coffee in the morning and let us buy croissants from a boulangerie and eat them with our coffee sitting at the cafe.

noisy - and staff not bothered
Not very impressed. We booked the hotel on the off chance late only to find out there was a music festival on in the are. Unluckly I had a room facing the street, not an issue apart from the ska band outside till 12:30, Then a load of drummers performing so loud that it was shaking the door to my room. I asked if I could be moved to another room because of the noise but I was told it was a national holiday and a special day and I could not complain. They would not move me as they said all the rooms were the same with the same noise. A real shame as it totally put me off dealing with this hotel chain again. Would not recommend if you require any kind of useful service from the hotel staff.

While there is no parking near the hotel - the clerk leaves her car parking all day by the hotel entrance . I would expect her to leave that place for hotel guests !!!

Hotel in very good location
The hotel is quite basic but very clean, bed comfortable and room had everything we needed for an overnight stay. We did not have the breakfast so I can not comment on that, we had coffee and pastries at the patisserie around the corner which was much cheaper and excellent. I would not like to have an extended stay at this hotel but for what we required it was more than adequate. I must comment on the staff who were most helpful especially with our non existent French. We were able to get breakfast tea in the bar which consisted of a large cup of hot water, tea bag and jug of milk, 2 euros each, wonderful. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay and the location could not have been better, right in the port next to all the bars, restaurants and shops.

Ideally positioned and perfectly reasonable
The hotel is ideally positioned for the centre. Staff were friendly although we spoke french to them. Room had aircon which was good. Only minor criticism was a lot of banging doors in the early morning though that could be due to inconsiderate guests!

Great hotel base to explore La Rochelle
Brilliant location - very close to the old port - literally a 30 second walk to the centre of things. The entrance to the hotel is uninspiring and when you arrive may make you think you have made a wrong choice. However, if you want a functional room at a very reasonable price in the centre this is the one for you. Staff presence is minimalistic - the receptionaist is the only person we saw and they also seemed to run the bar - not that anyone used it. We had four nights here and found it to be perfect for our requirements as a couple who wanted to make the most of the amazing location and come back to somewhere clean and tidy.

OK if you are without a car. Town centre is difficult to negotiate, and there is minimal car parking at the hotel. External signage should be improved at street level, as it is set back in an alleyway. Everything else was good.
