The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Victoria, Châtelaillon-Plage

Character property in great location, opposite the train station which was ideal for getting around - 10 minutes by train into La Rochelle. Short flat walk of just over 5 minutes through the park to the beach, bars and restaurants. Lovely refined resort. Hotel has no lift, not a problem for us. We didn't take the option of breakfast so can't comment on that. We were in room 240 at the top of hotel. Very nice suite with a very large double and a separate single room. Very nice bathroom, powerful shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. Easy to find, we were able to park on site for free but there's plenty of parking in the street.

The locality of this hotel was perfect, it was adjacent to the station, not that there was any train noise to notice. It was a main transport link between La Rochelle and Bordeaux. Also, a bus route was also available. The beach was a 5 minute gentle stroll through a beautiful parc which led straight onto the esplanade which has a good variety of bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours and creperies.

We really enjoyed our stay here - we had tried to find a hotel in nearby La Rochelle, but settled on this one as there were none available. And next time, we will stay here instead of looking at La Rochelle. Chatelaillon-Plage is a lovely little resort, and the hotel is very close to the centre but still very quiet, with free car parking. The staff on reception were delightful, we felt really welcome. Rooms are simple, but really clean and with excellent air conditioning. There’s a little bar on site, but no restaurant. The young lady on reception recommended several places to eat, and the one we chose was great!

This hotel was 1st class. Ively building with history, Hosts were very welcoming. Location is absolutely perfect, 150 metres from the beach. Train station nearby but no noise problems at all. Hotel was spotlessly clean, well run, organised and lovely. The breakfast was 1st class with excellent choices. We only stayed 1 night but would go back and stay longer . Absolutely recommended.

Had a great stay, nice little room with a comfy bed. Super friendly co-worker by the check-in. Nice located, close to the beach and restaurants. Lots of public parking options.
