Hôtel Le Rupella

It’s location

It is in desperate need of decoration. Wallpaper peeling off, mould on the ceiling, rotten wooden shutters

Excellent position in the heart of the buzzing old town overlooking the harbour. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Public areas, rooms and bathrooms clean. Seemed recently re-furbed - new tiles, flooring, headboard, decor. Could hear some external noise, (heart of buzzing area!) but rooms had a single AND a double glazed doors, so not much more could be done.

Very small bathroom with no knee space sat on toilet ?. Shower curtain useless, grubby/ old stains and it didn't stop water spray out onto bathroom floor. Not too bad the night we stayed, but lack of aircon could be an issue on hotter nights.

Location was perfect

Black mold EVERYWHERE in the room and hallways. No water pressure in the bathroom. Peeling wallpaper. Holes in walls. Trash in the room. Electrical outlets coming off the walls. Staff was absent and unable to answer any questions. Horrible customer service. We had to leave and go across the street to a much better hotel. The smell of mold was unbearable.

It was an experience stepping back into a time long gone , you could imagine been there during the war , if them walls could talk they could tell you some stories, done the job for a group of lads for one night , rooms were clean and tidy bathroom very clean Perfect for us but not for a romantic or long stay

Location was ideal. Staff very friendly. Room was clean and quiet. Bed comfy

Shower head attachment broken. WiFi connection was “insecure “ so couldn’t connect.No lock on bathroom door. No extractor fan in bathroom.

Location is amazing And double glazed doors kept noise outside to a minimum

Very thin walls could hear everything from other rooms

Unbeatable location, well priced. Sizeable, clean room with nice bathroom. Room cleaned and bedding made up every morning.Booking in and out straightforward. Would use again.

Room faced on to old port so there was some noise at night.

The room itself was fine.

The noise on the street was awful, Had to leave window open as there was no AC. Got to sleep at 4am and then woken up again at 7am with doors slamming closed in hotel. No luggage storage.

Right in the heart of La Rochelle. Rooms were above a cafe/restaurant. Overlooking the harbour and the square. Very pretty. Parking was in a public underground car park but it was quite inexpensive to stay all day and night.

Very noisy at night. People partying until 4 the next day. No air conditioning so had to have windows open. Had a leak in the toilet and couldn’t shut the door properly either. Managed to stop the leak, overflowing cistern, but it did make a mess, couldn’t report it as it was about 3am and no one around when went downstairs.

Room was super clean and comfy. Had a balcony with a direct view on the main street by the ocean! (See pic below)

The bathroom was a bit cramped, can't sit on the toilet and close the door because your legs will be in the way (and I am a relatively small person). I guess the upside is that you can pee with a direct view on the ocean lol. The staff seemed a bit overworked as they have to manage both the hotel and the bar downstairs.

Location, beds were good enough, we lost the key they didn't give us a hard time

No AC, the door of the toilet and outside door collided, perhaps a bit small room

Situation

Grumpy concierge . Not helpful with wi fi more interested in running the bar we

The view from the balcony. The comfortable bed.

The cramped toilet.

The location

No kettle toilet and shower small

Excellent city centre location on Port.Room had full length double doors/window leading onto balcony with a view of the Towers, port and streetscape.Near cafés, restaurants and shops.Very clean, towels changed daily.Very good value.

The location of the hotel and the cleanness.

The front gate stuck while try to open and was not easy to open. The water in the bathroom was blocked and bathroom was full of water after taking shower.

Excellent location on the port. Lots of restaurants nearby. Staff friendly and helpful. Bus stops outside the door. Very safe area. Would stay again!

Rooms could do with updating. No shower head holder in bath. Daily housekeeping stopped over weekend for 2 days. No soap/shampoo provided.

It was central

There was damp patches on the room ceiling and the paint was peeling

Great location, close to aquarium and other attractions. Good price.

Room very dated and needing repairs - shower leaked out onto floor when in use. No air conditioning and with location, got very noisy when leaving windows open some night to try cool room. Place could benefit from some repairs/modernisation as paint and wallpaper damaged/peeling in room and stairwell.

Amazing double doors and little balcony, overlooking the harbour and sea fort. La Rochelle is the city that never sleeps, and the most vibrant place in France that we’ve visited. The rest was usual budget standard. Bed was comfortable, staff friendly and kind. Children’s play park right opposite, by the harbour.

Parking was awkward, we had to use an underground multi-storey. The next day we struggled to find a way in and it took us awhile to get our car back.
