Short stay in La Rochelle
Good night stay in this hotel close to the action. Older place with nice staff, good breakfast for 10 euros. The mattress was not very comfortable and the wifi accessible only in the common places. Reasonable price, was really ok.

Bra lÀge vid hamnen och gamla stan
JÀttebra lÀge bredvid hamnen. Trevlig personal ganska enkel frukost.
Hotellet lÄ sentralt, men usedvanlig dÄrlig standard og slitent hotell. Ingen aircondition og svÊrt smale senger.

Hotel was in a perfect location for central La Rochelle. Room was suitable for what we needed. Hotel front and rooms were dated and in need of some TLC although good value for money and just a base so no issues.
