ibis styles La Rochelle Thalasso Chatelaillon

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.

Couldn't find a safe in the room. Rooms were quite small but on the plus side can accommodate 3 people.

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.

Nothing

A chique modern set up with a beautiful coordinated marine theme throughout. Not a brass or copper item in sight. Seafront location was ideal and there was a range of restaurants a mere 10 min walk away. I would recommend La Casa. Free use of the impressive Spa on the lower ground floor was an added bonus. The on site restaurant and bar were adequate but a touch expensive.

A very stylish hotel which includes free access to the spa. The hotel is in a great location which looks out over the sea. Our room was spacious and very clean.

There was a good selection of food in the restaurant but we found it rather hectic at breakfast time. There were a lot of guests and it appeared the staff found it difficult to keep up with the demand .

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Facilities were excellent. Restaurant served ex excellent food and wine. Breakfast was ample.

There was nothing to dislike.

Nicely decorated, comfy room and good spa facilities.

Service in restaurant was very slow (45 mins between aperitif and entree, then another 40 for mains). Food was average both for dinner and breakfast. Poor noise insulation from rooms above.

Great restaurant, cocktails by the pool were fab, decor was fab.

The access to the spa wasn't very clear and there were lots of rules, what to wear etc. Perhaps it was the language barrier but we were made to feel like we weren't supposed to be in there! Outside pool is salt water.

Good location and facilities

Car park not secure and used by other beach goers and the late check 16:00 is inconvenient.

It was modern, contemporary, well maintained and very clean. The staff members were great and super helpful. The swimming and spa facilities were fabulous!

The parking spaces were too small! (We don’t have a big car)

excellent spa , easy to access from hotel, very clean , lovely views

a good walk to bars and restaurants
