The extra charge for bedding and towels

The chickens, and the jungle like court Courtyard .

On arrival it felt like you were walking in to a commune, which was very different. Though I had not seen it in the small print, it says bring your own linen and towels. I was charged a further 10 euros for this and had to make the bed and strip it in the morning. I was also told to clean the room before leaving. The soap in the bathroom dish was used, as was a small bottle of complimentary shower gel (from another hotel) on the floor of the shower. The loo paper roll was half finished and it was not clear that anyone had cleaned since the last occupier presumably cleaned on leaving. The owner was sweet but did not seem particularly happy with foreigners. She phoned a friend to give me the instructions.

quirky nice urban oasis, interesting room

On reflection I would prefer linen and towels to be provided although that was an option which we could have taken. So it was our choice that I slightly regret.

The location is very good on the same street as the Corderie Royale and with easy walking along the river to the harbour. Kitchen facilities make it easy to make your own breakfast. On street parking was easily available and there is also a small car park a couple of minutes away. Shops, cafes etc all very nearby. But mainly we liked its unique character - the garden with plants, trees, flowers behind the gate, a couple of cats and some hens. It was very soothing on a hot June afternoon. The owner was helpful and friendly and her personality is evident in the decor and atmosphere of her house.

The rave next door till 3am! Apparently it happens just once a year!

Original, very charming, slightly quirky place. Lovely leafy and slightly overgrown courtyard which provided shade and an area to sit. Old building and a whole apartment.

A lovely hostess -- despite the language barrier - she was very welcoming and kind.

A bit less furniture and slightly larger TV

Peace, location and all was available. The host was charming

Not much. Internet in the town was weak, but did well with my 4G mobile.

Place is so calm. A lovely garden welcomes you. Delphine was a very welcoming host.

Absolutely incredible place, totally unexpected. Delphine was delightful and made me feel very welcome, even with a very last minute booking. The flats are located in a courtyard that is simply magical - I’ve never experienced anything like it. Amazing

The appartement is reasonable priced and okay value for money, but it gives a bitter aftertaste if you need to pay an additional € 24 for towels en bed linnen. Many people who stay at this place cycle the Velodysee and don't travel with towels and bed linnen. I advise including it in the room rate to avoid unnecessary surprises. There is no wifi. It would have been nice if there was a teabag or coffee cup in the apartment. We had to ask for extra toilet paper. I have a bad back and the matrass was way to worn out and soft for me. My partner did not had this problem. The owner does not speak a single word of English and was annoyed by the slightest sound ( we rang the door bell twice, our five year old son did not speak soft enough).

Good location in centre of town. Nice outdoor patio with many plants

Nice cosy hotel with beautiful garden, in centre of beautiful Rochefort.

We booked the aprtm for two nights and after the first night was a really bad experience in the poor beds, we decided to spend the second night in our car. Please provide the future guests some proper beds!

The host was very friendly and the garden is beautiful.

Unhelpful host

I booked 5 rooms and only got 4 rooms and some of the party didnt get sheets and towels

Stayed in July 2023

The apartment was a bed sit, not an apartment. It was not very clean and needed maintenance. The room was overstuffed with random uncoordinated clutter including a massive plant that filled one corner of the room. Radiator was hanging off of the wall, nail heads sticking up from the floorboards, bathroom in desperate need of complete refurb and staircase was in need of repair. Courtyard garden was overgrown.

Central location, parking for bicycles in courtyard, friendly staff.

Stayed in September 2022

Everything. Photos were misleading. Outside area completely overgrown. Room dirty. Bed dirty. Sheets were damp and smelt musty. Didn't stay there as it was disgusting

Nothing. We left and didn't stay there

Stayed in August 2022

The host does not speak English at all, so it’s impossible to ask anything or even ask for some pieces of advice. Nadia habla inglés, por lo que la comunicación es imposible.

Nice and cosy place, very calm and in the city center.

Nothing.

I had such a wonderful time at the Terra-Crystal and cant wait to return. This sort of accommodation and way of staying wont be for everyone but I appreciate its personal and holistic ways. The cats, the garden, the peaceful nature. For the first time in a long time I was able to rest. If you are looking for a high quality hotel where you come and go this is not for you. If you are looking for a communal way of staying where you put in what you take out then this is perfect.

The "Bring your own bed-linen"-concept is obviously stated in the description. Still we don't like that idea too much. To rely on the before-sleepers to have come with clean & sufficiently covering stuff... :-( Sleeping comfort / bed was not too good. Preparation of bathroom was somewhat limited. Quiet steep & narrow staircase - well, to be fair: that's a historic building obviously. More or less everybody/apartment can view everybody else around that inner courtyard.

Great centric setting! Still quiet enough as rooms/apartments are facing inner courtyard, no windows to outside (at least our apartment). Historic center with lots of restaurants, covered market but also touristic sights in walking distance. The hostal as such it's definitely a very personal setting. Don't expect anything resembling "hotel". Inner courtyard/terrace is a gem for any botanist. :-) Our French is unfortunately too limited for any conversation around that topic... Parking in the street seems to be available in sufficient quantity. Free-of-charge overnight, but costly during daytime.
