호텔 라 마린(Hotel la Marine, Vieux Port)

Chambre fabuleuse avec vue sur la mer.

Myself and my daughter spent a couple of days at this hotel in early April. We had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is very pretty, in a great location and the breakfast delivered to our room was amazing, but what really made our trip was the great service. I'm sorry I didn't get the gentleman's name who was on reception, but I have to say he couldn't have done more or been more pleasant and he certainly added to our lovely few days away in La Rochelle.

Lovely hotel in the heart of La Rochelle and would highly recommend. We had a family room which was spacious and had everything we needed. 10 minute walk to the beach but in the middle of town with lovely view of the harbour area. Vincent at reception was extremely helpful. Only potential downside was the steep stairs to get to reception if you had heavy luggage or not great on the feet. We will be back.

Great little hotel in a great location Very friendly service. Clean and quiet rooms. Would definitely go back.

A gorgeous view from our hotel room. Very central location. The hotel had sent us an email regarding the parking options, however it was not forwarded by **********, so we were unprepared. However it was quite a distance from any parking. Most of the free parking was full, although we did find some eventually - Paid for parking was closer but a queue to get in.

Firstly, nowhere to drop off bags in late morning because noone there and door locked until 3pm which we did not expect and had been travelling from Nantes and it was hot weather. Noone is there at night, either, didnt feel safe - if an emergency would not have been good. View from room was lovely but standard of room very tired and neglected. Was cheap room interior, in poor state of repair - shelf fell down, bedside shelf almost fallen down & all extremely basic and felt neglected. Bathroom towels old and no longer white - need throwing away!! This hotel definitely over priced. Harbour view and location of hotel is only good point. The photos supplied by hotel are misleading.

Outstanding, a perfect location over looking the harbour and within the buzz of the night life and the many restaurants. Staff were very helpful. However a word of warning the parking is difficult as the hotel is located in a pedestrian only area . This was not made enough on booking.

Good and clean hotel with friendly helpful staff. Surprisingly quiet considering the location. Would be happy to stay here again.

La Marine is in an ideal location at the head of the Vieux Port so all the main attractions are within easy walking range. The more expensive rooms have superb vies over the harbour. Our room was clean and comfortable with a sofa, three chairs and a table. Coffee and tea making facilities were provided. There is no restaurant or breakfast room so breakfast is brought to one’s room on a tray: Coffee/tea, orange juice, yoghurt and a selection of pastries. The main negative of the hotel is that there is no lift. Reception is up two steep flights of stairs from the street and our room 16 (no view but cheaper) was up a further two flights of stairs. Even with just and luggage we struggled and we would have found it impossible with 23kg flight luggage. Overall a great location but also relatively expensive although this was La Rochelle at the height of the tourist season.
