Despite the situation regarding COVID-19, we did not find our room (203) particularly clean. For example there was hair in the bath from a previous occupant. Also, the shower was difficult to control in terms of water temperature. So one shower taken was cold, the next too hot.

Peter D. Couples - 20/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had an excellent 5 nights. We were very pleased with the service we got in the restaurant and bar from the staff and we were impressed with the precautions taken in light of the Covid 19 problems. It is some years since we have stayed at the Mercure, La Rochelle and the only disappointment was the smallness of the privilege room compared to others we have stayed in in recent years. Other than that it was good to be back in a location which is one of our favourites.

This was our third stay at the hotel during Christmas week. La Rochelle is beautiful, with lots of things to see and do. The hotel is next to the aquarium with excellent views over the old harbour. Easy walk to the harbour, old town, market and beach. Staff are very welcoming and rooms are clean and well equipped, including tea making facilities and a small fridge.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. However, in room coffee making facilities let the side down. In room cups were made of cardboard. Also, restock of coffee was not overly reliable and milk was a strange concentrated variety.

Rainy visit to La Rochelle

Brian T. Families - 03/12/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

We arrived earlier than originally anticipated. The rooms were ready and the check-in process was expedient. We we’re warmly welcomed, despite the very dull weather. The adjoining rooms were clean and well presented. It is only a short walk to the shopping centre, but the weather made it a little uncomfortable. By the time we arrived back at the hotel we were soaked. Hot showers, with excellent shampoo/conditioner were the order of the day. The hotel’s hair driers were very effective in helping to dry our cloths. Dinner at the restaurant was well prepared with generous servings and reasonable wines. Adjourning to the rooms was pleasant. The TV functions allowed us to watch a film in English language. A comfortable bed, warm a cosy followed by a hearty breakfast the following morning prepared us well for our visit to the La Rochelle Aquarium, suitably located next to the hotel. Despite the weather, the family enjoyed our visit to La Rochelle, mainly thanks to the warm hospitable welcome at Hotel Mercury. We will be back....
