One night in La Rochelle.
We enjoyed the hotel; the staff were friendly and had a pleasant attitude. The room was clean, comfortable and we appreciated the tasteful and saucy decorations. The slight downside was having to carry our bags up and down 2 flights of stairs! Overall though we really like the hotel and the location is excellent.

Fascinating hotel.😍
Very welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent position for seeing La Rochelle. Interesting area good choice of eateries in area. Provision of ear plugs needed for some especially on a Saturday night. Downside is the taxi system deplored in the area La Rochelle but hotel managed to book one for us. Xx

This is a quirky (in the good sense) small hotel. In my experience of more than 40 years of travel, this is the most beautiful and most functional small hotel I have encountered. It is beautifully decorated... A good place to stay.

Beautiful quirky little hotel, imaginative design, well organised room space. Comfortable bed, good breakfast and very friendly service. Only the shower was a bit awkward to use.

Nice but Noisy
The room was nice and clean, the beds comfortable but the shower is tight and the shower doors don't fully close. Our biggest complaint: there was noise inside and out. Crowds of young people outside our window on the street were noisy and since there is no elevator, we could hear guests, that arrived late at night, banging their luggages up the stairs.

Good Morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in our hotel. It is with regret that I read carefully your comment. As I told you the day you left our building is an authentic historic building, it is a fact that the walls are thin and you can possibly hear people going upstairs, however, we do our best to ensure that silence reigns in the floors and common areas of the hotel. The last check-in we made this night was at 22:00, after this time there was no luggage noise anymore. Moreover it is mentioned on our website and on all our partners websites that our hotel is located in a lively pedestrian street with restaurants and bars nearby that most of our customers appreciate. Even if you did not complain about the noise directly to us, my colleague asked the group of young people to make less noise when it started to get late and they stopped immediately. Rest assured that we always pay special attention to the comfort and satisfaction of our customers. Best regards

Disappointed
Quirky decor, great location, BUT ridiculously noisy. To be fair it may have been freshers week, but soundproofing to outside noise was very poor. Would have helped if the roller shutter actually had a shutter.

Response from The Bord’O’s Manager on 6 Nov 2018
Good afternoon. The entire Bord’O team would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review. Our hotel always seeks to provide you with the best possible service, therefore I am deeply sorry to hear that our hotel’s soundproofing did not meet your expectations. We acquired the Hotel Le Bord’O in 2017, and on that occasion, we completely renovated the building and we worked hard on that issue. Unfortunately, the hotel has some technical constraints, such as its location (in the lively neighborhood of Saint-Nicolas) and its history (it was originally built near 1500). If the soundproofing is not ideal, I can assure you that our team is doing everything in its power to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Have you noticed that earplugs are available both in our rooms and at the reception ? They are at your disposal so that you can take full advantage of your night, especially if you are a light sleeper. Moreover, we always have someone in our staff present by night, that asks our clients to keep it down in case of extensive noise, and we also keep signs in the corridors to encourage our clients to be wary of the noise they are making. Also, we sent the roller shutter in repair. I hope that in the case of a possible future stay in our hotel, we will have the opportunity to show you how hard we have been working on improving our service concerning this issue. If you do visit us again anytime soon, don’t hesitate to contact us directly, which will allow us to better suit your needs. Yours truly.

Bonjour Ian, merci à vous d’avoir pris le temps de nous raconter votre expérience parmi nous !!Nous sommes navrés que ces perturbations à l’extérieur de l’hôtel ont pu troubler la quiétude de votre séjour parmi nous. Notre hôtel est situé en plein centre-ville de La Rochelle, une situation idéale pour profiter pleinement de notre belle ville mais qui peut provoquer quelques nuisances sonores de jour comme de nuit. C’est pourquoi nous informons toujours notre clientèle à ce sujet dans les confirmations que nous envoyons par mail afin d’être le plus limpide possible, nous sommes donc désolés que vous ne l'ayez pas vu. Bien cordialement,

Accueil personnel très aimable quand même très surpris par leur demande en ce qui concerne le ménage doit il être fait tous les jours et au sujet des viennoiseries qui sont miniatures malheureusement pas d ascenseur pour accéder au 3eme étage chambre très petite pas de placard pour ranger les affaires pas de porte de séparation entre la chambre et les toilettes et salle de bains très surprenant on est pas obligé d assister à la scène de besoin du conjoint et pour les odeurs je vous laisse imaginer volets très difficile à fermer le tout donnant sur une rue piétonne très bruyante pour ce qui est de l accès au parking très compliqué autrement Une ville charmante et agréable où il y a beaucoup de choses à découvrir une grande roue sur la place qui m'a fasciné et quelques fois déçu par l accueil de certains commerçants

Jeg har været i La Rochelle 100 gennem 33 år.
Jeg har boet mange steder, gode som mindre gode. Dette hotel kommer jeg gerne tilbage til. Lille hyggeligt hotel beliggende tæt på den gamle havn. Omgivet af mange af de gode restauranter, barer og andre glæder, som der er mange af i La Rochelle. Personalet var søde og hjælpsomme. Morgenmaden perfekt. Og jeg fik god, almindelig sort the, uden mærkelige tilsatte smagestoffer. Noget jeg sætter stor pris på, og nævner, fordi det efterhånden ikke er givet. Flot og spændende dekoreret lille værelse på 3. etage, som tilgås via en trappe. Balkon med udsigt over havnen og gadelivet. Bilen parkeres i en parkeringskælder et par hundrede meter fra hotellet. Betaling klares fra hotellet. Alt i alt en god oplevelse.
