16/02/2026: Second time, disappointed. €3.50 for 12 THIN slices of sausage is outrageous. The potato skins were in the tartiflette. The waitress was really unpleasant. I won't be back. We felt like we were being watched as soon as one of us ordered raclette; I understand we weren't allowed to taste it, but to be stared at every two seconds is just too much.

02/03/2026: Bravo to the team! Everything is refined, sophisticated, carefully crafted, and of such high quality! Special mention to Stéphane the wine merchant, who delights with his advice and discerning selection! The box is another excellent idea!

20/02/2026: The Novotel team is absolutely fantastic, thank you all!

18/02/2026: Overall, the staff was lovely, but many details could be improved. Upon arrival (mid-afternoon), we checked in at reception and were greeted warmly. Someone was vacuuming at the same time, almost right next to us, making it difficult to hear the staff over the noise. Perhaps the least they could do is turn off the vacuum cleaner during the five-minute check-in process. There was a strong, unpleasant odor in the room every time we used the sink. The magnifying mirror wasn't fixed in place (it wouldn't stay put), making it difficult to use. We arrived for breakfast at 9:45. The room was practically empty, with only three tables occupied. We were seated furthest from the buffet and, more importantly, closest to the kitchens (noise from machines, washing dishes, and staff conversations). We asked the reception staff for recommendations on where to eat in town, but they had no knowledge of the city. They confided that even though they had been working there for a year and a half, they didn't know the streets or the area. We were looking for a seafood restaurant, and we discovered Christopher Coutanceau's famous restaurant less than a 5-minute walk from the hotel. We won't be returning to the Novotel in La Rochelle.

16/03/2026: Having come for Sunday lunch specifically for the cordon bleu, I was able to get it despite Sunday being exclusively brunch service. We thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you for the very pleasant service!

15/03/2026: Excellent brunch in La Rochelle, I highly recommend it! A tip: book in advance!
