This hotel is a very convenient option if you have a car. They offer free parking and a great breakfast. The restaurant is good, though the service could be improved. The room was fine overall, but our phone didn’t work properly — the buttons weren’t programmed, and dialing 0 didn’t reach reception — so we weren’t able to contact the front desk from the room.
Aside from that, the hotel is nice and the front desk staff were helpful. I’m giving it 4 stars due to the missing functionality, but I would definitely recommend staying here.
Lovely hotel with great breakfast too. Location next go park which made it a little scary returning at night as quiet dark roads to walk along. Lovely stay and safe car parking too
Excellent location of this hotel allowed us to experience a lot of things by foot. All staff members were very friendly, helpful and polite. The swimming pool was a real bonus. Would highly recommend for families. Breakfast until 11am children under 16 free. Great value for money.
Bedroom layout. Including a sofa meant bed was too close to bathroom doors. Having a separate toilet, means you have to walk round to wash hands. Bath very slippery. Access & egress could be dangerous for the less agile. No continental breakfast is worth 19Euro.
On the positive, the room had a coffee machine and kettle. Parking is excellent and the hotel location spot on. Reception staff are very friendly but restaurant staff either don't like the English or are over worked.
Walking distance from old port and restaurants. Good Breakfast buffet, and is free for kids if adults are eating at the buffet. Air conditioned room. Free parking. Family room a bit small but we did enjoy La Rochelle.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Plenty of parking and all staff very helpful. Room a bit tired and seating area outside a bit unkept.
All you want for a city centre hotel. 5 minutes walk into the centre hotel has lots of parking spaces. Breakfast was great lots to choose from and lots of space to sit. All staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again
Overall the hotel was clean and tidy and our room was spacious and pleasantly decorated. Our big disappointment was the meal in the restaurant which took the shine off our stay. For the evening meal my wife chose rabbit as her main course and it was very chewy as it had not been cooked slowly in a sauce. I chose trout with a mixture of vegetables. Sadly the trout was totally tasteless.
Very nice hotel in a great location. The employees are very nice and the service provided was excellent. The onsite restaurant is great, the food was very tasty. Breakfast great.
Friendly staff, free parking, walking distance to the beautiful La Rochelle with its great array of bars and restaurants.
Spacious rooms ( ask for one over looking the pool or park)
Handy mini fridge tea and coffee making
The property was well located and well presented. The dining options were very limited in the hotel so we had to find an alternative option. This is no problem as long as the weather is kind, otherwise, expect to be soaked.
This Novotel was good. Nice room (520) , - and cozy restaurant and nice small pool. Friendly personal. Very within small walking distance to both old town and the harbor.
One bad thing: Please cut out this meaningsless "telling room number" to breakfast. Everyone can say a number. And someone did. Up on our check out, they want to charge us for a brekfast we never did enter. Must be very easy to just put up a scanner, and scan room key card when enter for breakfast ?Even more easy just to let it be included in room price.
I cancelled more than 24 hours in advance due to a flight delay and was advised that the refund would be processed through expedia. When Expedia contacted the hotel to process the refund, it was denied. That is a dishonest practice to refuse to refund a cancellation.
