Mediocre

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Bruno G. P. Families - 19/07/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Mediocre The pool is small for the number of guest rooms. One of the bedside lights in the room was not working and the air conditioning was poor. The restaurant menu is very basic. My wife had gnocchi, which I am guessing was not prepared onsite. It was clearly reheated quickly and at too high a temperature, which meant that the gnocchi was burnt but the cheese had not managed to melt into the sauce. The waitress was curt towards us throughout our dinner. This was not because we complained (we didn´t) or because we were not polite and friendly (we were). She did not pour our wine (she did on other tables), we had to ask for condiments (usually offered with fries) which were then banged down. I was served different fries to other guests that were also having Moules frites. Mine appeared to be from the menu enfant, as they were the same as the ones served to our child. The fries were cold. All in all it did not feel like a restaurant experience, more like a cheap pub serving reheated food by rude staff. The rooms start at 210 euros per night, so we were expecting more. Overall experience from experienced family traveler = Mediocre.

Free parking, well located, pool, 4 star facilities

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Sue Couples - 27/06/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed 3 nights in an executive room, requested top floor overlooking pool / park and quiet room which we got so was pleased. The parking was great and meant we avoided the center, the location and park setting was better than I had expected, pool was very nice and reception area modern and welcoming. Bar prices too high and staff a bit aloof but nothing that was unpleasant and we had a very nice stay and would stay again.

Good location, friendly staff

Nicely located on the edge of a wood, making a peaceful stay, but just a 10 minute walk to town, lovely being able to have a swim after a busy day too.

Our room was an air conditioned refuge from the extreme heat of the day. The pool was also excellent. Our room was spacious and well appointed. If we came to La Rochelle again we'd definitely stay here.

Good Novotel well located

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Alfred Families - 16/05/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

This hotel is very well located, close to the center, in front of a great public parc and 10 minutes away from the sea. Parking is available outside for free and all the other Novotel features. Clean and relatively new. Just missing the breakfast buffet but the COVID forces some changes. The tray system works, just would prefer more real “plates” and less plastic.

mw20202020 Business - 07/02/2020 TripAdvisor review

Nice hotel, unfortunately marred by the ambience. Staff on reception were friendly but other staff markedly not so, and not very helpful. I was very disappointed with this hotel because of the atmosphere. It didn't seem like the staff were very happy or else they were just curt to customers.

thank you for giving your opinion. I do not know on what date you came and I am surprised. generally our clients appreciate the kindness of the team and their professionalism. if you want to give me more details, I am available: H0965-GM@accor.com very cordially K.Laouamen, manager

Super Six Days

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

lordsyrup Couples - 09/10/2019 TripAdvisor review

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.

Nice hotel, excellent location

One of the better Novotel-hotels I have stayed at with the family. Only a small disappointment when my chicken brochette arrived black-burned at dinner. I received another brochette after complaining, but no apologies from the staff.

Dear Customer, thank you for taking the time to write to us. Sorry for this problem in the restaurant, we should have offered this dish and apologize. I hope to see you again soon at la rochelle cordially K.Laouamen, manager

Fau1966 Friends getaway - 06/12/2018 TripAdvisor review

I had 2 reservations: 1) 3 people for 2 nights; 2) 2 people for the 3rd night. I got it upgraded to stay at the same room @ the cheaper rate over the marathon weekend. Very spacious & in good condition. An even good surprise is that the entrecote steak served @ lunch was the best steak I had for a week in France.

MERCI thank you , for your positive feedback, the Marathon is always a special day, a lot of kind Poeple here for the same competition. the staff enjoy this particular fair-play spirit waiting for you next year best regards Karim Laouamen, manager
