The hotel staff were all friendly, helpful and polite. The beds were super comfy. The room was spotless and very quiet despite overlooking the road. The location was ideal, so close to good cafes, restaurants and the old town and harbour. We would definitely come to Hotel St Nicolas again.

getting into the bath/shower. the bath was very high and there was nothing to hold onto for security. made it very difficult getting in and out. pillows could do with sorting out, one hard pillow and a soft square one wasn’t very comfortable

location is very good with secure parking

Room was a little small but perfectly adequate.

Very nice staff at check-in and check-out and when we went for breakfast. The room was very nice and we got one with a balcony which we had asked for. Car parking was private and secure. Hotel was close to nice amenities and restaurants.

My room was in the eves and I hit my head numerous times…. Suggest you rearrange the room and stick up some hazard tape.Lighting in corridors is hopeless - difficult to see where to apply the card key. Shower wouldn’t drain properly. I paid twice 1) via booking.com and 2) at reception (very poor admin). My dinner order in the bar was forgotten about until I chased it up. Howling husky in the bar, noisy child and a loud English woman.

Great city centre location. Secure bicycle storage in own car park. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff who all speak good English.

Not a fan of the bathroom set up (isn't a separate room) and the price of the hotel reflects the resort rather than the standard of the hotel room which is functional.

Very centrally located but not noisy and the parking is a godsend as the car is definitely not prioritised here. The place has a young vibe and the room is well decorated. The breakfast options were plentiful.

there was a construction going on and no one warned me of this. they were drilling since early morning till 5 pm, which was very bad. also, there was a smell in the room from the sewer. not doors to wc, after taking the shower all the room is in the steam.

The breakfast was very nice. Stuff was very friendly and helping.

Somewhat overpriced for facilities offered - plus up sell at check in, offered 30 Euros for a balcony room, only wanted a king size bed room which I had thought we had booked - still charged us the 30 Euros on check out. Corridor to room decor somewhat dark and grim!

Hotel location good, had on site parking, excellent gin and tonic at bar once we obtained service, however, it was not included in the welcome drink offered by the reception desk! We were allowed to keep our car until 2 pm in the parking area past the 11 am check out. First time of asking were told to remove to outside paid parking lot some distance away!

The Sat Nav took us to the road where hotel is but it was “no entry!” It took us several attempts to find the hotel on the one way system, other guests had the same problem. The teas in the room were Earl Grey & Camomile & therefore both scented, a breakfast tea would have been preferable but was not available.

The breakfast was not included in the price which was unexpected. However the choice was exceptional and duration was very accommodating. Very helpful staff who took much pride in their work. The bed was extremely comfortable, shower was easy to use. Toiletry & other accessories were excellent. Thank goodness there was air con as very warm outside, even at night.

The parking seems much tighter than on previous visits and on departure 3 different guests had difficulty getting into our cars as the carpark was full and the spaces are far too close together. Also, in our room the water from the shower was not emptying due to clogged up hair. Fortunately my husband was able to take the drain cover off and remove the hair. Whoever cleaned the room must have seen that the shower tray wasn’t draining.

This was our 3rd visit. We love the location and the available secure parking underneath. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the facilities are more than adequate for a one night stay.

The hotel was advertised with parking (which is why we had booked this one) but when we arrived we were advised the car park is full and we were given a map of other car parks in the area. We had to spend an additional 35 minutes looking for parking, and pay an additional €17.50 for car parking which was about half a mile from the hotel. This started our trip out on a frustrating start. If you are looking for a hotel in the area, that actually provides parking - try the ibis down the street which is cheaper and actually provides parking🙏🏽

I liked this hotel a lot - it had amazing and clean rooms. Had everything required and has been one of the better hotels I have stayed at. However had to give 6 star rating due to lack of parking. Hotel is advised with parking, which is why we had booked this hotel, however when we arrived we were told by the staff on the front desk that the parking was full and given a map of the area with parking. We had to pay an additional €17.50 for overnight parking elsewhere.

Even with functioning SatNav, the hotel was very difficult to get to, because of the one-way traffic system. The hotel needs to ensure that all drivers are given detailed directions to approach the property.

Breakfast was very good. It is ideally located to access the Centre of La Rochelle.
