Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Rochefort

Les ”Demoiselles de Rochefort” avaient popularisé la destination. Nous avions néanmoins craint l'atmosphère provinciale après nos séjours la semaine précédente à La Rochelle puis Royan, communes touristiques phares du département. Quelle ne fut pas notre agréable surprise de découvrir une ville dynamique, pleine de charme avec une très belle architecture. Telle la maison d'hôtes qui nous a abrité 5 jours d'affilée, dont nous avons apprécié l'agencement, l'équipement, l'ameublement choisi avec beaucoup de goût et le confort des chambres, très spacieuses et à la propreté irréprochable.

We booked this months ago for our transit through France to Spain when it was still listed as a Campanile. No one notified us of the change. So it was brutal to discover no chef so no meal other than the offer of a potentially microwave meal, poor selection of beers and one line they had run out of. After a long drive from Roscoff we had been so looking forward to the Campanile experience and it had completely gone. This place is on the outskirts of town so unless you want to drive again food options are severely limited. Redeemed by an 8 minute walk to the Chinese buffet which despite some reviews was really good. We declined breakfast and got food on the motorway. The place looks run down and uncared for, peeling paint on the balconies, peeling paint on the shelf in the bathroom and a plug socket that wasn’t properly on the wall. No real services to speak of. Loud banging every five minutes from what sounded like dodgy plumbing but little point asking to move because despite there being only a few other guests it just felt like it wouldn’t be possible in terms of avoiding the noise. They are still using Campanile branding and charging Campanile prices so very unsatisfactory. On the plus side the room was clean and the staff did everything they could to be helpful, especially Joelle. I was asked to pay up front as we weren’t having food, being told the morning staff cannot work the cash machine. It took 10 minutes for them to get the ( new) terminal working and I was questioned about the use of my card in France which had been successful both on Brittany Ferries and at the fuel station that day. The issues with this place I don’t think are their fault and they are just trying to make the best of a poor situation but a quick google will find other places in the area to stay. Really couldn’t suggest anyone choose to stay here. If there was a score lower than terrible, this would meet it.

Abbiamo soggiornato in hotel IBIS molte volte, e di solito sono stati impressionati dai loro alti standard. Purtroppo questo è caduto molto poco. L'hotel stesso è difficile da trovare, a causa della mancanza di segnale sulle strade vicine. Quando siamo arrivati all'hotel, la ricevitrice non ha trovato la nostra prenotazione. Anche se la cercava, un altro ospite ci ha spinto in ufficio e le ha chiesto una domanda. E poi ci ignorò mentre rispose, e non ci scusò per l’interruzione; questo comportamento è assolutamente inaccettabile e non è certamente il modo di trattare i vostri clienti. Durante il nostro soggiorno non potevamo usare il WiFi dell'hotel su nessuno dei nostri dispositivi. In due occasioni separate abbiamo chiesto aiuto al personale della Reception, ma non sono riusciti a risolvere il problema e nemmeno hanno fatto credere che fosse colpa nostra! Uno di loro ha anche chiesto ”Perché non usa solo il tuo segnale 4G?” Alla fine abbiamo capito che il problema era causato dalla rete che non ci ha indirizzato alla pagina di login dopo la nostra prima connessione. Questi incidenti sono molto inferiori al livello elevato che ci siamo aspettati dagli hotel Ibis e non ci sembra che abbiamo ricevuto un buon valore per i soldi in questa occasione.
