La Rochelle hostels

To stay in one of the best tourist areas in the city, book one of the La Rochelle hostels in the Les Minimes neighbourhood, alongside Port des Minimes. Here, we recommend Auberge de Jeunesse on the main Avenue des Minimes. It’s only about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) from Minimes Beach to the west and within a mile (1.6 km) radius from tourist landmarks like Musee des Modeles Reduits, Musee Maritime and Musee des Automates. Free parking is available on site, and you’ll have a choice of a buffet or continental breakfast included in the booking price. You can also choose, if you prefer, a private cabin, rather than staying in a dormitory room.

One of the nicest La Rochelle hostels for a fully self-catering family holiday is Maison Caju. It’s very close to the city centre, providing easy access to shopping and other amenities. You’ll have shared use of a full kitchen with all the appliances you’d need at home, and a comprehensive laundry service is also available. If you want to take some time off from cooking for the family, you can arrange for food to be delivered to your accommodation. There are convenience shops on the premises, and the establishment also offers activities like cooking classes. For the kids, there are puzzles, board games and a shared entertainment lounge.

For solo travellers looking for La Rochelle hostels with all the basics and an extra touch of personalised service, book through KAYAK at La Venelle de Jericho. You can take your continental breakfast on the terrace, then play some golf or enjoy the on-site water sport facilities, including snorkelling, fishing and canoeing. Indoor activities like pool, ping pong and darts are also offered. You can bring a pet with you, too – just arrange it beforehand. Nearby tourist landmarks are plentiful, such as Grand Temple, Musee d’Orbigny-Bernon and the fine art museum, Musee des Beaux-Arts. These are all under 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away.
