The website is good but the reality is not - the rooms are small and have very large murals on them, which depict the 19th century history, but not appropriate for a bedroom. Even though we wish too go eco friendly, paper cups are not the best way of doing it - crockery is a better option plus safer - every thing seem to be being rationed - the hotel is overpriced for what it offers the location is excellent but the reception staff did not seem to know about local boats that go from just outside the hotel -

A lovely place to visit and very much looked after by all the staff and recommend a visit and take in great views,great food and great service. I Couldn't fault anything of the hotel at all and many thanks to Anita and all the team

New hotel 2018. Room was clean, comfortable and well situated. Bathroom was clean and well appointed with separate toilet. However, the barrier between shower and rest of bathroom was too small so water from shower inevitably found it way onto the floor of the bathroom. The restaurant was well appointed but very disappointing. There was very limited choice on the menu and most of those choices appeared to be prepared for the elderly with no teeth! Everything appeared to be pureed or minced. We mentioned the lack of choices on menu and were told that it was a gourmet restaurant with chef's specialities. The quality of the food on offer did not live up to the costs. However, the breakfast choices were excellent and good value. Would certainly book the hotel again but would not use restaurant unless it became better value for money with better choices.

The hotel is in a delightful position. Comfortable room, although the ensuite facilities were just a bit cramped, but do benefit from a separate toilet. Very pleasant restaurant, albeit expensive. Staff helpful. Good facilities including a b ar with plenty of comfortable seating.

Wonderful conversion of a historic building - great staff and excellent breakfast. look forward to another visit when I will take advantage of the pool and sauna. Only issue was the wifi - a little slow - maybe due to the thick stone walls of the original building?

A fairly recent renovation in an imposing historic building set directly on the river. Beautiful rooms, a good restaurant and lovely public spaces. A swimming pool in the garden was a real bonus. One of the nicest Mercures we have stayed in.

The Corderie is an absolutely amazing building with an incredible history, the hotel occupies part of it. Rochefort is very attractive and interesting, well worth a look. The rooms are large and stylish, but there have been many opportunities missed to make the place really first class. For example, our room had an unneccessarily large hallway leading into a fairly compact (but very nice) shower room and a tiny separate wc which was smaller than that on a plane and with an inward opening door which made it really awkward. The bedroom was a very decent size but, again, poor use was made of the space and there was nowhere near enough surface areas to put things down. Breakfast was OK, not really any better than in some Ibis Styles hotels we have stayed in recently. The restaurant may have been closed, it was so very quiet it did not look appealing. The swimming pool looks OK in photos but less so in real life, not really where you would want to spend long. Staff were professional and helpful, no complaints there.
