ibis styles La Rochelle Thalasso Chatelaillon

Everything here was great. The location is ideal - just a short walk to the sea - like it's across the road! Everything is fab including the hotel itself, which has everything you could need. Staff speak English - unfortunately my French is poor and each person is super helpful - stellar staff to be fair to them - from reception and waiting staff to the wonderful woman from New Zealand responsible for housekeeping - there was one person nicer and more friendly than the next - we will certainly return. Thank you to everyone and well done.

Wow, we were not expecting the spa facilities to be so fantastic. We arrived late in the day and rushed down to the pool spa area before it closed. The facilities are brilliant and children are allowed in at certain times of the day. The rooms were well decorated and quirky but had pretty much everything required. The warm welcome from the staff was really appreciated. Our rate included breakfast which was fresh and well organised. The menu at the hotel looked very good, with 3 children though we walked to Mirko's Italian on the beach front which is highly recommended. Parking is easy and free at the hotel.

Excellent chain hotel. Better than we expected. The breakfast was good - continental but enough choice to satisfy most people. The bar area was pleasant although a little short on choice. The best bit was the free entry into the Thalasso pools. Very clean and exhilarating - we used it nearly every day of our stay. Very French clientele and obviously used for business stays and conferences but this had no negeative effect on our holiday stay. Very good experience and certainly value for money.
