About this stay
The location does the heavy lifting here: Place de la Breche sits right outside, the TGV station is a two-minute walk, and the Donjon de Niort's twelfth-century keep is five hundred metres along the riverside path. Rooms keep a contemporary decor, air-conditioning and a private bathroom rather than leaning on the historic setting for character, and the lounge bar gives guests somewhere to sit after a day exploring the old town or arriving off a late train. A breakfast buffet is served daily, and the 24-hour multi-lingual reception can point guests toward the covered market, the Poitiers Futuroscope day trip, or La Rochelle, both under an hour away by car.

Our take
Best Western Hotel de la Breche is the four-star I would choose for a car-free stay in Niort: it stands right on Place de la Brèche in the historic centre, two minutes from the TGV station. Rooms are air-conditioned, with a private bathroom, a tea and coffee maker and satellite TV. There is a lounge bar, and reception runs 24 hours. It scores 8.2 from 268 reviews.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the square if evening cafe noise bothers you on a light-sleeper stay
- ✓Walk the riverside path to the Donjon in the early morning before the market crowds arrive
- ✓Time your visit around Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday for Les Halles covered market at its best

Why guests love itBest Western Hotel de la Brèche is a four-star right on Place de la Brèche in Niort's historic centre, which is why I would book it for families who want to step out straight onto the square and walk to the Donjon. Rooms are air-conditioned, with a private bathroom, satellite TV and a tea and coffee maker. The lounge bar gives parents a spot for the evening, and the 24-hour reception helps with late arrivals.
