Agree with fellow reviewer sonofdrake: strongest point of this hotel is location. It's in the city center, old town, old port. Many sites, shops and restaurants nearby. The staff is uniformly welcoming and helpful. Special commendation for the housekeeping staff. Linens, bedding, and bathroom all impeccable. Suitable for business or pleasure. I'd recommend it for couples, families, business travelers. Design... More

(except some transparent net?) so anybody parking the car could have perfect view on what is happening in our room. Quite uncomfortable.. More

Our second visit to La Rochelle was preceded by stays at Le Manoir les Minimes in Amboise and Hotel du Pantheon in Paris so the bar is set very high. Our stay in La Rochelle was short and we chose Hotel St Nicolas based primarily on TripAdvisor reviews. The hotel is a couple blocks from Gare La Rochelle, the Aquarium... More

Good find. Small rooms but with everything you need. Excellent breakfast in their conservatory. More
