What guests think

At Novotel La Rochelle Centre, travellers highlight a walkable, quiet location near the old town and park, secure on-site parking, and friendly, professional staff, alongside spacious and comfortable rooms that suit short stays and family visits.

Some reviews note dated décor, oversized sofa-beds affecting layout, and minor maintenance or temperature-control issues, with a couple of remarks about cleanliness. Breakfast and the restaurant are often enjoyed, but reports mention limited choice on occasion, slow service, an awkward breakfast check-in, and concerns about price. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-located stay with standout staff and convenient parking.

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.

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.
