Maison des Ambassadeurs

We stayed here last year and loved it. We must highlight Hugues at the bar. He is a real pro! Passionate & knowledgeable about his job, as well as being friendly & engaging with clients. Léonce at reception was also a perfect gentleman and helpful. He greeted us in a warm & friendly manner. I can’t remember the name of the « voiturier » with the smart moustache, but he too was great at his job, friendly, explained where to go when visiting l’île de Ré. Very helpful & smiled consistently. Congratulations to the management for employing an amazing team at our favourite hotel in La Rochelle. Thank you.

Excellent location, walking distance to the market, beautiful rooms and facilities. We would have enjoyed the garden if it wasn't raining.

Boutique hotel, ideal for seeing La Rochelle. Walking distance to everything, the amazing market is just around the corner (oysters and wine seems to be a Sunday morning thing there). Little supermarket and pharmacy 2 mins from the hotel. It’s quiet and off the main road so lovely to retreat back into after a day wandering the marina and streets. The pool and sauna area is small but ideal, we managed to swim every day and sauna everyday. The vibe is very chill, the place is polished not stuffy.

Impressive hotel in an excellent, central location. A young staff who were pleasant, helpful and friendly whilst remaining courteous and professional at all times. We didn't eat in the hotel but enjoyed a few drinks in the bar which has a nice, relaxed vibe. We travelled with our pet dog who was made very welcome which we appreciated. Our room was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated and had air conditioning, a mini-bar, coffee maker and safe. Our two night stay was booked at the last minute but exceeded our expectations in every way and we would have no hesitation in returning to Maison des Ambassadeurs on our next visit to beautiful La Rochelle. Optional reserved parking was an added bonus and directions and information on navigating the traffic restrictions in the Old Town and the automatic bollard were spot on.

The hotel staff were very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The location was about 20-25 minutes walk from the main station, and very easy to find. It is located in the old part of the city, with a lot of the roads traffic free. We spoke a little French, but nearly all the hotel staff we had contact with spoke French and English. We did not have any meals at the hotel, so cannot comment on the quality of the food, but we understand it was of a high standard.
