Room was a good size, bathroom clean and well set out, and hotel had a lovely lobby. Free parking nearby was suggested, which was ideal. Parking outside was available to unload luggage. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again if in La Rochelle. Room (no 42) was next to elevator which was a bit noisy at times (esp at... More

Stayed two nights. Lovely French style with some character missing in others we have stayed in. Emailed to reserve parking which was convenient and covered. Friendly reception a small cosy bar and classy public rooms. Large well furnished bedroom and a modern clean bathroom. We love La Rochelle and will return here when we next visit. More

I'm hard to please at 100e or more per night especially when i have to pay extra for breakfast and parking but we left here feeeling very happy. Fairly forgettable from outside with strange parking set-up.Inside however a period building with beautiful features. Staff missing from reception on arrival but we were 2 hours early and they appeared promptly and... More

We spent 2 nights here in early September 2011 during a 3 week tour of France. I am very familiar with La Rochelle (it's an excellent short break destination) but had not stayed in Hotel Champlain before. We had a second floor room but had no issues with street noise; we had the large casement windows open early each morning... More

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in August 2011. The car's satellite navigation system found the hotel easily. There is a drop-off parking space immediately outside the main door, which eases check-in. I recommend the under-cover parking which is immediately next to the hotel, although it costs 7 Euros per 24hrs. The hotel is in the old... More

Perfectly located within an easy walk of the port area, but away from the evening noise. But you do need to keep the window closed, if at the front, because the bin collection and other services in the street start very early! There is a charming garden at the rear, where you can have breakfast, choosing from a good buffet,... More

We stayed for 2 nights (18th and 19th August 2011) after a stay on the Ile de Re prior to moving onto the La Charente area and had a wonderful visit. The hotel is well located, easy to find, has good secure parking, an excellent breakfast and a peaceful oasis for a garden - all right in the heart of... More

Had a lovely 2 night stay in La Rochelle before moving further South. Great part of France, plenty to do and see, the hotel is ideally located - a short walk from the main town/harbour area - enough to walk off a meal/wine etc - pleasant walk through the historic arches and designer shops. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere,... More

Just back having spent five nights. Lovely big room furnished with antiques. Very clean, very helpful staff and a great breakfast for €11.. well worth having as you'll pay €6 for a croissant and coffee downtown!! Very accomodating reception staff for booking restaurants, taxis and general advice. Three stars it may have but at the centre is a five-start heart.... More
