ibis Budget La Rochelle Centre

I could not believe this hotel is only a 2* hotel, it should definitely be listed as a 3* at least. The room is clean, we were supplied with towels and hangers for our clothes in the room. The room is quite small but comfortable. The TV in the room had Chromecast so we could connect our devices easily and watch whatever we wanted. The darkening curtains were excellent as they blocked out the light really well. The only downsides would be the view of the car park from our room and we were only given 1 pillow each and they were soft when I prefer a more firm pillow. The hotel is situated a 15 minute walk from the city centre, La Rochelle port and really close to La Rochelle train station. I could not hear the trains from my room but could hear it from the outside seating area. The lounge area (Ground floor) of the hotel is spacious and well lit, welcoming natural lighting from the glass (floor to ceiling) windows. They serve food and drinks at the bar, and there is an average sized pool past the lounge area with deck chairs. There is space to get some work done, eat and there is also an outdoor seating area, where you can relax or have your breakfast. There is a water refill station in front of the lift of every floor, so if you bring your own water bottles, you can have free water as the hotel do not provide water bottles in the room. The hotel is also safe as you need to use your room card in order to use the lift, and also in the evening to get into the front entrance of the hotel. To get to the hotel from the Airport, you can take the Illico 1b bus from the bus top, to the stop Hopital, which is a 20 minute bus journey and then a 7 minute walk from the bus stop to the hotel. There aren’t many shops near the hotel, there is a supermarket a 15 minute walk away, and there is a food market hall a 10 minute walk away. For £78 for one night, room only (Wednesday - Thursday) I would say this hotel was definitely worth the money spent.

Booked the hotel as we were travelling back to England from South off France on arriving found car park was to small for my vehicle and the pool was closed even though it was 25 degrees and the view from my bedroom window was a traveller's in campment when I decided I was not going to stay the manager became very rude and abropt telling me he would only refund some off the money which he still hasn't and trying to get hold off the hotel or anybody is quite impossible I feel well and truly robbed

No frills hotel, clean, comfortable, breakfast good. Security good as room key card had to be used for the lift and access to the stairs. Only downside being parking which, although conveniently located, was expensive, even in mid-season, make sure you read the details in the hotel information . Easy walk to the port area and restaurants, good place for an overnight stay.

The room was basic but very clean. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast buffet was great it has everything you need. Chic vibe and atmosphere. The lounge area has eclectic vibe. Lots of room to seat around and enjoy the games with friends. Safe parking for your car. 1.5 mile from the port of La Rochelle , very convenient. Very chic atmosphere. Very quiet. The bathroom is spacious and very clean. There’s a pool but we didn’t use it because it was cold during our visit. Love our stay.

Pour y avoir passé 3 nuits, je n’ai pas été déçu, il a tout ce que l’on attend d’un IBIS, Toutefois, si je peux me permettre, le Chromecast ne fonctionnait pas et personne ne m’a apporté de solutions. Je recommande pour un court séjour à petit prix.

Tres bon Accueil , hôtel bien situé proche du ville,personnel tres sympathique, deco intérieure vintage et de bon goût. mise à disposition d'une bagagerie le premier et le dernier jour,chambre correcte, petit déjeuner bon et varié , Nous reviendrons
