Beautifully appointed property, friendly and helpful staff. Well designed and kept garden, a real green oasis. Just few steps from the beach.
Restaurant serves great breakfast and dinner was delicious, the best dinner from all places we visited in La Baule.

We loved our stay at the Belle Époque hôtel Castel Marie-Louise! Our room was lovely decorated, the breakfast was incredible (with oysters, kouign-amann, crêpes every day!) and the staff very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the bikes to visit La Baule, and what is awesome is that you have access to most of the amenities provided by the hotels from the group Barrière nearby: spa, swimming pool and gym from l’Hermitage or the Majestic.

ALL THOSE STARS AND NO A/C - sleepless nights

NO A/C!! Impossible to sleep at night. Needs updating.
WE chose this hotel because it is a part of \"Relais Chateaux\".
It shouldn't be... Not that it was so bad, but there are certain thing one MUST have if you want to be part of RC... A/C is a basic... We could not sleep at night... Too hot (and this was in May) - and when we complained, they gave us a floor mounted FAN??!! all that money and a FAN??!! They apologised and said that NONE of the rooms have A/C.
When we tried with the windows open, we were eaten by mosquitos. Had I known in advance, i would NOT have booked here.
Besides that, Bathrooms were quite old - Aluminium shower enclosure with PVC doors - like in old motels from the 90's. The towels were also very worn and old. like they have seen TOO MANY washings.
Breakfast was quite nice and the location is good.
It is worth paying more and getting a room with A/C of even going down in quality, but with A/C.
On checkout, I shared my thoughts with the reception and they offered me a free upgrade (also without A/C) if we ever return (slim chance).
I hope this review is not removed by the Hotel

Short stay

Stayed here for a night before starting a business trip. The location is fantastic on the beachfront promenade. Service and comfort is exactly what you'd expect from a R&C property. Don't like the fact that there is a casino so much

Comfortable elegant hotel.

Wonderful very attentive staff. Elegant, upscale accommodations. Very classy hotel but overcharge for parking, we think, and they need a better way of communicating to guess how to pull up to the hotel since there is no car entry and you must unload from the street. The people they hire are absolutely top rate and make for a very comfortable stay.

Nice hotel in great location but tired

Stayed 2 nights in September 2017. Location good, food good, but it's a bit tired in some areas. Had to pay euros 15 per day to park the car in the empty hotel car park. It was very quiet and a bit soul less. We moved rooms because the first room, which was advertised as a suite, had knee high small windows. The second room was better but external lights right outside our bedroom came on during the night and light up our room and we were unable to switch them off. Beds were dipping in he middle. We wouldn't go back. An expensive stay and they get every euro out of you. Better to stay at the sister chateau at the other end of La Baule which has had a refurb. It looks really nice. We would stay there next time.

Great hotel in a beautiful seaside resort

A lovely hotel full of character; it was a house once upon a time. The staff are very good; nothing was too much trouble and everyone was smiling and attentive. The restaurant was excellent and the waiter who served me made some nice recommendations. They even served oysters for breakfast, but at 28 EUR you should get something special right? Overall, a very nice place to stay. La Baule is generally very expensive and this place is no exception to that. The beautiful 9km beach is just a few metres from the hotel and the grounds have a lot of mature trees and shrubs. They also provide bicycles to use (free of charge).

The best in the area.

Concierge and front desk staff very professional. Waiter in the gastronomic restaurant was young and inexperienced, could understand a simple martini request, we actually got up and left. Front desk staff booked us another restaurant off site. Beds were amazingly comfortable and linens were appropriate. No air conditioning so don't go if it heats up, we were on the tail end of a European heat wave so not to bad. Beautiful grounds with tables on the manicured front lawn, great views. Morning breakfast was well executed and staff very gracious. Left us to go coffee at the front desk as we had to hurry thru breakfast.

Wow!

This hotel is exceptional. The space in the room, the high ceilings, the decor, the comfort of the bed and bedding, the bath, shower, bidet, seperate toilet, robes and slippers, international TV channels (English!) all made for a very romantic last night in France.

The hotel property is across the street from the nicest beach in 200 km in either direction, though closer to the port the water is more turqoise and calmer. The hotel has free bikes! A few rooms on the top 2 floors have obstructed ocean views, ours didn't.

Our room had a lock that was broken which required the reception to assist us to our room each time, a small inconvinence and the service was first class. The price of the meals (e32 for continental breakfast - e8 more for an egg) and mini-bar indicates a chic clientele and a short walk for the rest of us. The restaurant does have a star and would have loved to taste it, but we'd spent our budget on other stars previously.

I would stay there again if I had the chance. Definately. Most Defiantely.

Definitely worth a visit

This is a fantastic hotel with great staff at a wonderful location, very close to a beautiful beach. The hotel also offer complimentary bikes (the surrounding area is very bike friendly) and use of a nearby spa / swimming pool. The only downside that I can possibly think of is that the hotel restaurant is a little expensive with a more \"mature\" clientele (however, there are many great restauarants nearby worth experiencing). Overall, the hotel is definitely worth a visit.

Hotel is overpriced

Nice hotel set up in a beautiful environment. Unfortunately, we stayed in a small dark room on the ground floor, close to the reception, lacking comfort with smells in the toilets.
The staff was really lovely and helpful, the concierge was very professional.
But at the end, the hotel is up to the standard of a five star hotel.
