We've stayed here before and came back because we like the views, the rooms with balconies overlooking the sea, the easy out of town free parking in their secure garage, the lovely breakfasts and the beautiful walk into the town. However, this time it was very warm and the rooms have no air con. Even with the French windows onto... More

This was our third stay at Les Brises and i have to say it was just lovely. Distances travelled by car in France are sometimes immense and there are days when you need a really great hotel to rest and recuperate. Les Brises has it's own patio which fronts onto the sea with a panoramic view of La Rochelle itself,exterior... More

Les Brises has a waterside setting which is comparatively rare in La Rochelle and is Les Brises main attraction. It is some 20 minutes walk from the centre, or there are 2 buses an hour up until around 8pm. Le Brises feels a bit institutional and lacks a personal touch, I found nothing particularly wrong, it was clean, quiet, functional... More

The room was spacious enough for two people, and there was a bottle of champagne and chocolates as a greeting gift. The sea view from the balcony was lovely, looking out across the bay to the city lights and then out towards the open ocean. There was a slight problem with not being able to control the temperature in the... More

We stayed at the hotel in August. Managed to get into the small underground car park and went straight to the room. We had booked a sea view which we got, and very fortunately had been given the open sea end of the building which gave us a wide vista from the balcony. For us, the only rooms you should... More

There was nothing hugely wrong with our room in this hotel which had a lovely view out over the water. The room itself was a bit dated for a modern hotel, and had clearly been occupied by smokers before, with a pretty crude attempt to cover up the smell with air freshener. My main issue is the location of the... More

My wife and I stayed in this hotel around three years ago and had happy memories and so decided to return after attending a wedding near Toulouse. While the Internet said it was fully booked on the day we wanted to arrive, a phone call established the fact that a few rooms are always held back and that there were... More

The hotel was well-located with the old port a 20 minute walk away. The room was quite old-fashioned. No tea and coffee, though UK TV and wifi helped. I had booked this hotel partly for the large terrace overlooking the sea. Unfortunately the weather too bad to sit out. We walked into town for dinner and back the next morning... More

We stayed in July/ August and had a great time, lovely sea view, (make sure to book a room with a sea view). Very friendly staff, we had free bike hire to get to the centre of La Rochelle. We could sit and just look at the sea every morning and hear the waves. Very clean and good daily room... More
