B&B in La Rochelle

[Bastet]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced  hotel or B&B establishment in La Rochelle?   We're looking for 2 double rooms for one night, a walkable distance from the City centre, early July.

Thanks.

We always used to stay in the Hotel Saint Nicolas when we visited La Rochelle - but we haven't stayed there since our last visit to La Rochelle in 2002. If it hasn't changed hands, and I don't think it has, then it is great - central, family owned and run, modernised with a characterful renovation of old buildings. The rooms were all a good size and all different. It used to cost 48€ a night but I see prices now start from 60€ - inflation! The hotel does breakfast (if you want it) but no other meals, but then La Rochelle must have the most amazing amount of superb restos ever in one place.

is the closest I could get to a web-site - it looks a bit grim on that site - it looks a lot better in the flesh and it is very well-located. And they can manage some English - if you need it, of course. They have cheap secure parking too, which is crucial in La R.

Edit: Gosh! How things change - it says on the site that the hotel does lunch and dinner - wow! [:)]

Thanks - I've checked it and there are no rooms available.  I know it's during school holidays so maybe we're too late.

I guess this is the price to pay when you can't decide what to do for a birthday treat....        [:(]

Why not try Ibis. Basic and cheap.They have 3 hotels in La Rochelle, 2 on either side of the old port and one in the centre near the bus station. I'd opt for the one near the bus station if you want a quieter a hotel as it's set in a quiet side street yet only 5 -10 mins walk from the old port.
