This was our first stay and we really enjoyed it. We were a family of 3 and had a double and pullout / sofa bed. The air conditioning was very effective and the room very quiet. The swimming pool facilities are fantastic and a real highlight of a stay. We'd have appreciated longer hours for our kid to be able to use the indoor pool (perhaps lunchtime when the pool is a lot emptier). I'd suggest relaxing the hours in off-season also. Breakfast was satisfactory. We also enjoyed using the ping pong table. It's located about a 30 mins walk from centre of Chatelaillon / train station and we walked it. There is a bus stop outside the hotel that takes you all the way to La Rochelle. All in all, we intend to return next year.

“Truly comfortable stay”

The rooms were excellent, the staff very helpful and the location superb. We arrived to find it very busy with a conference on and many people attending the spa, but we were still well looked after; I hope they never make this one of those awful hotels with no staff. It would die overnight.

“Good stay”

Good location, nice staff Main disappointment is that the pool is NOT allow to kids at certain hours. Kids can only enjoy the pool 1 hour in the morning like 8.00AM to 09.00AM, and on the afternoon start 06.00PM or 06.30PM which is a shame when you have kids that love swimming...

Good location, nice staff Main disappointment is that the pool is NOT allow to kids at certain hours. Kids can only enjoy the pool 1 hour in the morning like 8.00AM to 09.00AM, and on the afternoon start 06.00PM or 06.30PM which is a shame when you have kids that love swimming... Plus, the water is salty which hurt my son's eyes and mine, we did not wear goggles. Room is pretty small, not bath, only a shower with the toilet included. The Spa Nuxe is pretty big, clean and relaxing. Make sure to book your massage in advance as it gets fully booked quickly as it is not only reserved for the hotel clients but to everyone. The restaurant was good, staff was nice. You can enjoy a room service of needed. Breakfast has just the minimum you can expect for a IbisStyle.

“Clean and Lean”

It has been a long time since we have so looked forward to leaving a hotel. I get the idea of a simple beach front vibe where you can enjoy a place where land and sea come together. We have been savoring that environment throughout our lifetime. We also know that many people come to this sort of p… lisää

It has been a long time since we have so looked forward to leaving a hotel. I get the idea of a simple beach front vibe where you can enjoy a place where land and sea come together. We have been savoring that environment throughout our lifetime. We also know that many people come to this sort of place with swim trunks, jeans and a gym bag. But this hotel was designed by a bunch of accountants with some nostalgia for college dorms. Whether you view the decor as cutesy, tacky or just a way to save money, the rooms are tight, cheaply provisioned and don't disguise their budget motel backbone. Granted, the lighting in the bathroom is good, the rainwater shower is not bad and everything is hygienic We didn't come here for the "thalasso" or the pool. The restaurant is one of the worst we have encountered in half a century of enjoying France. Breakfast was acceptable, thanks to some decent self catered coffee. The pastries are straight out of a discount supermarket. Yes, the real estate is valuable, and some explanation of the relatively high price. I don't recall many places that were so obsessed with insuring payment. Yes, I am willing to pay for two nights room and board at check in, but is that necessary when you already have my credit card information and Elite status with Accor? Yes, we usually stay at Accor's more upscale brands. But we have been to a few Ibis Styles. This one is best skipped.
