At the gateway to the Poitevin Marshes

About this stay
Contact Hotel Atoll markets its position honestly: at the gateway to the Poitevin Marshes, roughly fifteen minutes by car from the boat embarkation points, rather than in the old town itself. Rooms include a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking round out the practical amenities that matter most for a marsh-focused trip. A daily buffet breakfast runs each morning, and catering meals can be reserved Monday to Thursday, useful for guests who would rather not drive back into Niort for dinner after a day on the water. La Rochelle sits about fifty kilometres away for a longer day trip beyond the marsh itself.
- Near the Marais Poitevin
- Free parking
- Catering meals Mon-Thu
- Free WiFi
Our take
Contact Hotel Atoll is the three-star I would book in Niort before a day in the Marais Poitevin, as it sits at the gateway to the marshes. Parking on site is free, bathrooms have a walk-in shower, and rooms have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and free Wi-Fi. A buffet breakfast is served daily, and meals are available Monday to Thursday. An 8.6 score from 239 reviews is very good.
- ✓Reserve a catering meal ahead if staying Monday to Thursday, since it saves a drive back into town for dinner
- ✓Book a Marais Poitevin boat trip for the morning, then relax back at the hotel once the afternoon heat sets in
- ✓Use the free parking here as your base for both the marsh and an optional La Rochelle day trip
Why we love it
- Fifteen minutes from the Marais Poitevin
- Free on-site parking
- Weekday catering meals available
- Walk-in showers in every room
Why guests love itContact Hotel Atoll is a three-star at the gateway to the Poitevin Marshes in Niort, and I would book it for families planning a boat trip in the Marais with the car parked for free on site. Bathrooms have a walk-in shower, rooms have flat-screen TVs with satellite channels and free WiFi, and a buffet breakfast is served daily. Meals are available from Monday to Thursday, so I would plan weekend dinners in town.
