An excellent well located hotel just a few minutes walk from both the centre and all the restaurants and cafes around the port, with the bonus of parkland (and a birds and animal park almost on the doorstep). All staff were very welcoming and very friendly. Room was well designed, spacious with excellent facilities including kettle for hot drinks and fridge for milk or other cold drinks. Bottled water per person each and every day (not just one welcome bottle). Great variety of items for breakfast, one of the best spreads I've seen in years of staying in hotels. Varieties of cheese and cold meat, bacon, eggs, beans. Several types of bread, pain au Chocolat, doughnuts, about 15 (yes fifteen) different jams/confitures and marmalade, two hot drinks machines for coffee, decaf, hot chocolate, milk and water for tea and selection of leaf-teas (eg breakfast, early grey, gunpowder/green tea etc).

An initial misunderstanding about the provision of gluten free products (not just the hotel, but a widespread issue that France needs to catch up on as there is a commercial benefit to hotels and restaurants making very small changes to menu ingredients AND stating what are the allergens in each menu choice). But the hotel quickly addressed this by day 2 to provide savoury bread in addition to the sweet bread/cake to make the stay both safe and enjoyable.

This comfortable, modern hotel is well located within walking distance of La Rochelle's lovely Old Town. The facilities were nice, spot on, clear, and comfortable. The staff was quite nice, a real departure from the cold welcome one often receives in France. We didn't have breakfast (we preferred a croissant and café crème overlooking the harbor), and we didn't try the "spa," so we cannot judge these facilities.

Parking was a little bit difficult to find and navigate and should be free in my opinion, though the cost was not excessive. The price was decent, but not a real "value."

This hotel exceeded our expectations, especially for a city hotel. The location is fantastic sat next to a lovely cool park with many walks. The walk into the town and harbour is very easy about 10 minutes, so perfect to walk into the harbour area to eat, take boat trips, stroll around and also visit the beautiful cathedral. The room was cool, although high window not very light. The staff were very friendly, we were able to unload our car from a parking space outside the hotel and straight into the lift which was handy. We then had to find the hotel secure parking which is located behind the hotel, but you can walk to and from once parked, through the park. There is CCTV in the secure car park. The Hotel has a very good coffee machine in the lobby where you can help yourself to free coffee which was most appreciated.

The car park was not at the hotel, although perfectly okay once we had found it the first time and our car was safe. The lack of light in our bedroom because of high up window

Fantastic Stay in a Great Location!** I recently stayed at this hotel and had an excellent experience. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and access local attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with modern amenities that made my stay even more enjoyable. I was also impressed by the convenience of the on-site parking, which made it stress-free to bring my car. Overall, the hotel provided great value, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on my next visit!

Location is fantastic. A ten minute walk to the old port or five minute walk to a small beach. A lovely park next door with trails for walking and running. Very quiet and secure at night. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and gave us some great recommendations during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was a bit disorganised and short staffed but the buffet was nice with plenty choice.

The hotel was good, friendly & welcoming staff. Location is super, just a short 5-8min walk from the harbour area. The room was very nice, modern style and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was big and had a good shower. Breakfast was impressive, many options & high quality food. Parking was located 3min walk away. We liked the hotel & can definitely recommend a stay.

The hotel is located at 10-15 min walking distance from la Rochelle old city. You can take the way through a park where you can see a small zoo garden. The property has several parking places which makes a big difference from other hotels advertised on Booking.com who have registered under facilities "Parking" but when you read the details you see that there is public parking nearby and reservation is not possible. @Booking.com please do not list Parking under hotel facilities if the place is not managed by the property. Finally, for the personnel at Central Park Hotel many thanks for their warm attitude.

The hotel is ideally situated for the park, the beach and the town. Everything was lovely. We were given the incentive to not have our room cleaned during our stay and for this we had a complimentary glass of champagne or beer each evening, which was an excellent incentive.

Nothing really. The chap in the dining room at breakfast wasn't very good at keeping up with table clearing and resetting but the breakfast buffet was excellent.

Staff were absolutely wonderful - couldn't do enough for you, extremely friendly and welcoming. Bedroom was lovely, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Location was perfect, walking distance to the centre of everything and the beach. Massage was super and the thermal suite was beautiful. Very relaxing stay in a beautiful hotel.

Only thing was the jacuzzi needed to be much hotter for me. Very very lukewarm - I like a hot jacuzzi for the aches and pains!

Friendly helpful staff. The room was very clean. The hotel is situated next to a large city park and while on a busy road it was peaceful at nighttime. If you stay for 2 nights or more and forego housekeeping you are rewarded with a complementary glass of champagne each day.

We found the hotel to be very acceptable but did not try all the facilities as we were in La Rochelle to visit family.
