Hotel Saint Nicolas

Lovely small hotel, fantastic breakfast (13E) and helpful staff!

Stayed one night while on road trip. La Rochelle was touristy but cute and fun (mostly French tourists). Hotel was comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful (even helped me drag our bags outside to the car when we left). Very close to the historic center of town with many restaurants and shops. One downside was our room was on the top floor and the ceiling slanted close to the bed such that I hit my head once (I was wearing a hat and didn't see the height difference). Otherwise spacious and clean. Breakfast at the hotel was a buffet and was worth it.

The hotel was ideally located in the St Nicholas quarter which is handy for drinks at Guignette, beautiful seafood platters at Le Panier, or sumptuous breakfast at Prao. The only thing is the sound the neighbours’ doos make when they shut the door.....we can hear it through our doors/walls so, in effect, sleep-ins were not possible as people started to go in and out of their rooms for morning breakfast service. On the plus side, the staff were super friendly and efficient and you can get some drinks (for a quiet nightcap) even late at night.

The hotel was very accommodation when I asked to switch rooms as I wanted to overlook the restaurants/courtyard. Room spotless. Only thing I would change is remove the carpeting. Breakfast was the best we had in our travels in France! Awesome location in the center of the city.

Smart yet relaxed feel to hotel. Staff always friendly and helpful. Very comfortable room. A stone’s throw away from great places to eat and visit.
