Please make travellers aware that on arrival at this hotel there could be a chance of a scam because they told me that their internet was down and that I had to pay in cash. The bill presented was considerably more than the agreed confirmed price with Booking.com. I questioned this amount, and they told me it was for local taxes and although unhappy I paid 96.82 Euro when I suspected the confirmed price was £52 +2 breakfasts which at the exchange rate for that day came to 71.24Euro. The room was adequate but very cold and even though the heating was working it took a long time to become comfortable. On closer inspection of the invoice, I noted that I had been charged for five breakfasts not local taxes although there was only my wife and I in our party and we were booked in a double room. When I took this up with the receptionist, she called the manager who insisted that this was local taxes and out of his control when the bill actually stated that we had been charged for five petit dejeuner, not the two we had ordered. The manager refused to budge and was most insistent that this was local tax on tourists but relented when I said that I was not happy about this as there was no mention of local taxes on the invoice only the extra breakfasts and I said that I was going to call the local police to look into the matter at which point he refunded me the cost of the three extra breakfasts and blamed the mix-up on Booking.com. I suspect that this man was operating a scam on foreign travellers and the payment in cash made it possible for him to skim the extra cash off the top. We stayed in three other Ibis properties on our trip and were charged exactly what was stated on the confirmation notice sent after we had booked. The speed with which he refunded the excess charge when I mentioned calling the local police also added to my suspicions.

A not too busy city with everything anyone could wish for. Has style and a period elegance combined with a history of greatness. However very important to be aware of ‘Priorité à droite' as many cross-roads.

Loved the history, the port de plaisance & the Arsenal de Mer buildings, Corderie Royale etc. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend the restaurant CapNell & there was a good selection of places to eat.

Charming town, very pleasant place to visit for a couple of days or as a base for the local area. Fascinating history, great architecture, grand buildings and boulevards and interesting port location.

Rochefort is a fascinating historic town. It has a variety of museums, interactive displays of historic life, such as the Corderie, and beautiful architecture around every corner. A boat trip to Île d'Aix is a must, to get away from the bustle of the town for a few hours.

The resturant very poor . Food not good at all . Outside dirty . Waitresses poor . No service at all. Leaving the hotel we were not asked if our stay was Good . I can say honestly I would never return. A complete nightmare .
