Hotel De Toiras

We have never been to Ile de Re before so didn't know what to expect. We paid a very high rate per night for a very small room here and had high expectations of what we would get for that rate. It seems that this area is just extremely expensive in the summer. The hotel welcome was very nice and the young lady who took us to our room was lovely. You are given a code to access the hotel area as cars are generally not allowed and then staff take the car to a garage to store (for a fee). The hotel is very small but immaculate and pretty. Our room was a garden room and very small for the rate we paid. You could just about walk around the bed. We hadn't appreciated that breakfast was not included and it was expensive per item consumed - staff took pity on us and charged a slightly lower rate - we had forgotten that breakfast was not included in our rate given how much it was. The area near the hotel is very pretty but there is not really much to do unless you like cycling to explore other areas.

We stayed here with our 8-week-old baby, hoping for five-star service to match the laid-back, refined elegance of the interiors. Unfortunately, the service team must have been on a completely different holiday.||1. Room allocation genius: We asked for an easy-access room. We got the top floor. No lift. Nothing I enjoy|more than paying c.£500 per night for the privilege of dragging a pram, bags, and a newborn up 3 flights of stairs.||2. Complimentary tap water surprise: The “drinking water” in our room had been thoughtfully refilled with hot water — presumably straight from the tap. Because nothing quenches thirst after a long journey quite like a warm glass of eau de boiler.||3. Pastry theatre at breakfast: Breakfast “included” a basket of pastries. Rather than bringing them fresh, the waiter simply gestured to the slightly sad basket already on our table when we arrived (see enclosed picture if you want a laugh). When I questioned this, he waved another basket in my face and demanded to know the problem, since, according to him, the pastries were “exactly the same.” A masterclass in charm.||4. Room service… or not: No menu. No options. Just a €90 bowl of pasta per person. For that price, I half expected it to be served by a celebrity chef while a string quartet played us in. Sadly, it was just pasta.||Beautiful interiors can only do so much. The service here felt dismissive, disorganised, and downright unwelcoming. If you’re looking for true five-star hospitality, keep looking.

Great location on seafront of town. Inside is well decorated apart from harsh lighting. Service was spotty. The code for the restricted entry bollard the hotel sent us in the welcome email was wrong - queue of annoyed locals behind us as we called hotel to get the correct code. Parking in front of hotel - buy a forfait with the parking app for €13 a night. That way you can come and go without waiting for the valet to find your car.

Staff were extremely professional and very accommodating. Location is impossible to beat, as it’s near the boardwalk, all the restaurants, the ferry stop, and the bus stop. They provided access to the lovely pool at the sister hotel. Room was perfect, unique, and quite large for France.

Hotel de Toiras is situated in St Martin de Re It is a small beautiful hotel with an incredible view of the harbor and the town. It is so quaint and welcoming. The staff were incredible from picking you up at train station, showing you your room, breakfast service, bar service and help with reservations and directions. You felt like you were a family member. The room was extremely comfortable with beautiful decor and a great shower ! Breakfast was delicious with fresh pastries, omelettes and other choices if you wanted it. The dinner restaurant was closed during our stay but the local restaurants were incredibly fun and delicious with local oysters and fare. The hotel is an easy drive to all the other small villages on Île de Re.

We stayed three nights at Hotel de Toiras and had a wonderful time. The hotel is located at the perfect spot in the marina with great views of the harbor. The rooms were nicely furnished and very well serviced with attention to detail. The hotel breakfast was great. The hotel staff was very friendly and attentive. My wife left behind something in the room and they mailed it home to the US free of charge. We would definitely go back and highly recommend it!

It s a 5 star hotel so what is there not to like?? Except the staff was super friendly and the rooms were extra comfortable. Barman is very good. He does a killer Pimm's!! The colour palette throughout the main floor is lovely and matches the Atlantic.

Stayed at the hotel with my wife, we had a gorgeous room with garden view. The room was very nicely decorated with some lovely hung art pieces. We ate at the hotel restaurant which was scrumptious and fresh. I had the chance to taste some Château Clarisse wine as recommended by the waiter, which was delightful! Would recommend.

This is quite possibly the nexus of Il de Re, an almost surreal place. If you love the seaside and France, you should go to Il de Re and stay at Hotel de Toiras.
