Novotel La Rochelle Centre Hotel 4 stars

We stayed here 7 years ago and loved it. Just as good on our return. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and the decor in the foyer / bar area is very attractive making it a lovely space to sit and have a drink or eat. Breakfast was great, a big choice of food and very tasty. Dog made very welcome too!

Friendly check in. Lovely big bed and very comfortable. Food served was very tasty and reasonable price.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was very good.

Friendly and supportive staff. Clean room and good food in the restaurant.

From the staff at the check in and the bar, to the comfort & cleanliness of the room, I give it an 11 out of 10!

The hotel was well run, with extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Will return and would recommend.

Personnel super

We have just returned from an enjoyable 6 days at La Rochelle and staying at the Novotel was the perfect choice. The staff were so welcoming and made sure you were happy and cared for. The hotel is perfectly located by a park offering a 20 minute walk to the harbour. Super room, great breakfast choices and we had dinner 3 times in the restaurant. Very enjoyable. Swimming pool and large car park. We will be back.

I'm a regular customer, so appreciate the quick check-in and the drink offered by the hotel. Staff is friendly. Bed and shower of good quality. Lunch is good taste (but small portions). If I want to watch the football champions league, I have to watch in the lobby, where lots of people that are not interested are obviously making noise :o(

Stayed several times. Love the location and helpful staff

My group was travelling by motor cycle and there was ample parking for the eight vehicles. I arrived having broken a tooth earlier in the day, the receptionist was so helpful. She found me a dentist who could see me the following morning and booked me a taxi. The rooms were lovely and breakfast excellent. The only downside was that a large beer was €10 which was expensive compared to other places we stayed.

Very welcoming, clean rooms, bed lovely and comfortable, bathroom really clean, good blackout curtains, food in the evening limited could have a better selection, Our 40th anniversary, they placed red hearts and a card on our bed.

positive: receptionists at day of check-in friendly, amenities, bed, clean. negative: motel feel; no complimentary upgrade granted as hotel would be fully booked, but looked pretty empty to us; room facing parking; no international newspapers; tea/coffee facilities in room of poor quality (instant coffee, and no idea why so few spoons/sticks as these do not cost anything!), bathroom soap not so nice, room not soundproof (you could hear noise from outside, as well as other guests closing doors and walking by). Overall, too expensive for services offered. Very negative: we could see personnel drinking alcohol and smoking. Loud noise at night coming from outside, but not any compensation offered from hotel (also not when we complained the next day about it as we had expected a quiet room).

Really great- lovely hotel and location. Great pool. Staff were really great- reception, bar, restaurant, cleaning and general staff all very accommodating and friendly. Nice family room.

Very pleasant room and very helpful staff.
