The hotel is in a quiet street just off the main square -Place de Verdun. The no 7 bus runs every 20 mins from the Airport-to the Square- cost 1.20 euros and only took ten minutes. The hotel itself is of a good standard- the reception staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms as mentioned before are on the... more

Took a taxi from the airport (as the buses had finished), it cost 20 euros. This hotel is your average 3 star hotel - looking a little tired - but as all things in France - very clean. It's not glamorous or has big size rooms but this hotel is quiet, safe and a great location. Beds are comfortable -... more

The location is fine. The price too. But it is really an average (or below average) hotel. The staff at the reception, whoever the employee, is not smiling, is not at all welcoming (they all look terribly bored). The walls in the rooms are ugly (dirty orange coloured plaster), stains on the carpet, the bathroom is tiny (you have to... more

We recently stayed for 4 nights at the Ibis Vielle Ville. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the bus station-1.20euros from the airport-and is situated in a quiet one way street, in the centre of the old town. Our bedroom was small and although I would not recommend anybody of very large proportions to stay there we found... more

The main thing this hotel has got going for it is the loaction. It is right in the old town and close to the port so is perfect for the shops, bars and restaurants, which are great. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. We stayed for one night whilst travelling down to the Cote D'Azur and as such... more

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights during the peak period of August. The staff were lovely and very helpful... and extremely patient with my poor attempts at french. The room was basic but very clean,quiet and warm. Take a travel kettle if you want a coffee in your room.. the hotel has a small bar facility in the... more

We stayed there during a heat wave and I will say that the room was extremely cool. The hotel totally lacks charm, but everything worked well. The front desk was horrible in terms of taking messages but otherwise helpful. We loved La Rochelle so much, that we didn't care if the hotel was so-so. We booked it through the SNCF... more

Went over for a romantic mid-week break which was completely spoiled by the couldn't-care-less staff attitude. Clean rooms but paper-thin walls meant man next door snoring kept us awake. We asked for extra pillows which never came. While we were there the builders were in, installing a fire alarm/sprinkler system so drills and hammering woke us at 7.30 AM on... more

This hotel was excellent value - we paid about £15 each for a double room. The room was a little small (your classic basic Ibis room), but was clean and en-suite (shower only) and perfectly adequate for a short stay. It would have been a little cramped for a longer stay - say, a week ... the only storage was... more
