Le Panier de Crabes sur La Rochelle

02/06/2026: Negative: A small refrigerator is missing from the room, and the bathroom door needs improvement in terms of privacy (you can hear everything). Positive: The staff is lovely, especially Benjamin, who is fantastic. The breakfast is incredible. The hotel's location is perfect. The pool is a huge bonus. We will be back very soon.

31/05/2026: A very nice hotel in an ideal location, with pleasant staff, excellent amenities, and a quiet setting away from the main city streets. We spent the Pentecost weekend there and the stay was very pleasant. The breakfast was very generous. We're deducting one star, however, for two reasons: - The orange juice wasn't fresh, and the pancakes, waffles, and crepes weren't homemade, which is a real shame for a hotel of this standard and with a restaurant. - The parking is not free, which is also a shame compared to others like the Novotel, which offers free parking. Otherwise, it would be perfect. The Nuxe products are a real bonus. The Privilege room includes bathrobes and complimentary minibar drinks, and Nespresso coffee with refills upon request. The poolside terrace is beautifully furnished and very pleasant. The pool area is perhaps a little small, but very nice nonetheless. We didn't try the restaurant. We'll be back, hoping for homemade products 😊
