I always like to stay at different Mercure hotels in France and as always had an exceptionally comfortable stay.

Extremely well located - walking distance to all shops, restaurants & bars. The room was comfortable. I would have liked more coffee sachets & milk to be provided but apart from that I have no complaints. The parking availability was good. The staff member I dealt with on reception had a good know of English & was very polite & helpful. I enjoyed the stay so much we are returning on Sunday for another night. La Rochelle is beautiful and this hotel has everything you could need and is in the perfect location to explore.

2 night stay for first visit to La Rochelle. Hotel is very well located, parking available on site. Standard level room was fine, our view over the port was lovely. Breakfast was very good, with a wide choice of food and some good local options. We were aware at the time of booking that dogs are allowed in the hotel, but were a bit surprised to see them in the restaurant at breakfast. Personally don’t think this should be the case, in particular we saw a few people with their dogs on laps actually feeding them at the table, which we feel is not acceptable.

Dear Karen C., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are delighted to learn that you enjoyed our prime location and the pleasant views from your room, as well as the breakfast offering we provide. We appreciate your observations concerning our pet policy. While we allow dogs in the hotel to accommodate the needs of our guests, we understand that their presence in the restaurant may cause discomfort for some customers. Please be assured that we take your concerns seriously and will review our practices to ensure a comfortable dining experience for all. We hope to welcome you back to the Hôtel Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port in the future for another pleasant stay. Sincerely, Patricia Blondel, Director

Paul D. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Excellent location for the main tourist spots and safe and secure parking. Unfortunately our ‘Privilege Double Room’ was lacking. There was no dressing table for my wife, there were no drawers for our clothes, the wardrobe had limited hanging space as a lot of it was taken up with an ironing board and iron! We didn’t need the iron and board, but more space for a week’s worth of our clothes. When I asked for more coat hangers, I was given three and told “we don’t have anymore…”. Although the room had a coffee machine, there were very few pods for it and no milk. The kettle would have been more use if they had supplied English Breakfast Tea and again, some milk, we repeatedly had to ask for milk. The pool was lovely, but unfortunately not nearly sufficient sun loungers and the area lacked any staff to maintain it. Reception staff, unless you approached them, never acknowledged you as you entered or exited the hotel, not even a smile if they couldn’t manage a ‘Bonjour’ - my wife and I found this very poor, not to be greeted. However, the star of the reception staff was Gwenellia, a young lady who went above and beyond to assist me. She telephoned the local BMW Dealership and acted as a translator, to convey a serious problem with my car. This enabled me to have the problem fixed and my wife and I to use the car and enjoy our holiday. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the restaurant GAÉE. The food and wine were delicious, the service was excellent, we would highly recommend.

Dear Paul D., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We appreciate your compliments on our excellent location and the service provided by our staff. We strive to ensure our guests feel welcomed and supported during their time at our hotel. We genuinely regret that the Privilege Double Room did not meet your expectations. Your observations regarding the wardrobe space and the limited amenities are noted. We aim to provide a comfortable and functional environment, and it seems we fell short in this instance. Regarding the pool area, we acknowledge your feedback about the number of sun loungers. Given the space constraints, we are unable to accommodate additional loungers, but we appreciate your understanding. We apologize for the lack of interaction from our reception staff during your arrival and departure, as we strive for a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience at GAÉE and thank you for your recommendations. Sincerely, Gwenaëlle Cheffe de réception

This is our third visit to this hotel, parking is great. Space is over large and safe and secure. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Hotel it’s in a brilliant location for everything La Rochelle . Unfortunately since our last visit things have changed , our room was not clean (our last visit spotless) all around the back of the bathroom. Were you would but your perfume, et ceteraIt was very dusty and dirty on the floor , the hand towels were dirty too and looked old ,we feel that even though we had booked a privilege room we had taken our dog with us and Phil that that maybe why the standard had dropped or they hadn’t had the time to clean it. We also had a coffee machine and pods but no mugs to make a coffee. We were then told that we had to go to the restaurant to pick up mugs for the coffee machine . Normally this hotel offers a welcome drink after driving on and off for nine hours we were both really looking forward to our welcome drink unfortunately they don’t do this anymore. On day one of two night stay we left the hotel early (8.30ish)to walk our dog and have some breakfast in La Rochelle we returned at 12:40pm to find our room was still not cleaned the lady who was cleaning said that’s because they have to do all of the rooms that people have vacated first, but we wanted to relax in our room after walking around La Rochelle . We love stopping at La Rochelle. It is such a beautiful city and Harbour area and great restaurants bars to chill at and watch the world go past but we are not sure that we would come back to stay in this hotel after this experience. Which is a real shame as it is a gem of a hotel apart from the few experiences we’ve had this time.

Dear Tracey M., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Hôtel Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port. We sincerely appreciate your continued patronage and are pleased to hear that you found our parking facilities secure and conveniently located. However, we regret to learn that your experience during this visit did not meet the high standards we strive to uphold. Cleanliness is a core aspect of our service, and we take your comments seriously regarding the state of your room. We will address this matter with our housekeeping team to ensure that all areas are thoroughly attended to. Regarding the absence of mugs for the coffee machine, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope you will reconsider and give us another opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience you have come to expect from us. Sincerely, Gwenaëlle Cheffe de réception

Markus A. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We felt very comfortable at the Hôtel Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port! It was a pleasant stay. We would also like to mention one small issue: Although we understand that the hotel car park exit is managed by a different provider, it would be greatly appreciated if exiting by car could be made easier. Two credit cards that work everywhere else were not accepted, and entering the PIN did not work. Our suggestions for improvement would be to issue a plastic card instead of a paper slip and to make PIN entry easier. It would also be helpful to offer the option of paying at the reception desk. We noticed that other guests were experiencing similar difficulties. Apart from this minor issue, our stay was excellent.

Dear Markus A., Thank you for your kind remarks regarding your recent stay at the Hôtel Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port. We are pleased to learn of your satisfaction during your time with us. Although the management of this service is indeed the responsibility of an external provider, we understand the importance of a seamless experience for our guests. We will ensure that your feedback is shared with the relevant parties to consider potential improvements. It is encouraging to know that, despite this slight inconvenience, your overall experience was excellent. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future for another pleasant stay. Sincerely, Patricia Blondel, Director
