Mercure Rochefort La Corderie Royale 4 stars

Rooms are done up to very high standard. Had dinner in the restaurant it was top notch. Friendly staff. Drinks voucher prepared before our arrival and it was appreciated. Selection for breakfast could use some improvement - we had breakfast the previous day at the Best Western Plus in La Rochelle and they even had champagne and oysters for breakfast.

Beautifully refurbished hotel with excellent staff and facilities

The hotel has character mixed with modern decor. My room on this occasion was more spacious than on my last stay (Privilege upgrade) and had an excellent double aspect view. Breakfast good and plentiful. Staff helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel and well located. I should have been able to explore but it rained all days.

Beautiful hotel, delightful staff, lovely room and delicious food. What more could we ask for?

We loved the room and especially the comfortable bed.

Very nice public areas, nice breakfast, friendly staff and very accommodating of our large dog. The bedrooms were a little dated.

The decor throughout the hotel, and the furnishings in the public areas are lovely. The location is also great. However, for a 4 star hotel, I was disappointed (and surprised) by how tiny the bedroom was. Unfortunately also, we were situated above the restaurant where a large group continued to talk loudly until 1am. The manager apologised next day and made amends with our bill, but I would have expected a management presence in a 4 star hotel that would control such noise in the night.

I had a very enjoyable time. The hotel is lovely and I especially appreciated the kindness and friendliness of all your staff; those in reception, in the restaurant and those who made up my room each day. Thank you.

Very Good. Staff were excellent Room was small

The hotel is located by the river. There are many boats docked nearby and you can walk to the center of town passing Lafayette's ship. A nice plus for those of us interested in the history of the French/America relationship.

Loved being near the water and the boats. Nice to walk along the river to town.

We had been really looking forward to staying at the Mercure in Rochefort. The front desk and staff were very good and the ground floor decorations very attractive. The moment we entered the lift to the first floor we noticed a change. The carpet was warn and the lift had seen better days. We were surprised at the lack of useable space there was in both the bedroom and bathroom. Having said that the shower worked very well. I had been mislead by a description of the room on Booking.com which promised a patio, toaster and other things although following a word with the receptionist on departure I see that the room description has been amended although there is now an erroneous reference to a dressing room. We are used to staying in converted old buildings but the bedroom we were allocated (140) left us feeling less than satisfied. The breakfast room was very good and the scrambled egg delicious.

Reception and booking in was easy. The restaurant was delightful. We had a room with a king size bed. What surprised us was the unecessary extra two beds in the room that we did not need. These beds should have been removed giving us access to the window.
