Great for sight seeing and very comfy rooms

Small hotel, great friendly service with a good breakfast. Small hotel in the middle of Bordeaux, walking distance from all. They arranged a daily taxi for us as being in that part of the city, It is hard to get an uber. Would definitely stay agian.

The comfort room is small but fine for a short stay. Central location tram tickets can be bought at the hotel with reductions available for local attractions. Lots of restaurants in the area.

STEFFENDANIEL, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Start was poor, but good recovery

I would say that our stay was ok. The staff were wonderful and accommodating However, I booked a room with the understanding that it was a queen/ king bed. It was a double. The room tiny, and I really think was not represented well on the website. It would have been perfect if I was by myself and staying for a couple of days. We were two and staying for 3 nights. I had prepaid to get the “deal” of 170€ We had another couple with us and they had a budget so we decided to stay at the same hotel in a similar room to them. I was quite annoyed when I went to reception after the first sleepless night and I said it was unacceptable. The lady at the front desk sprung into action and got me a different much bigger room with a kind bed. We weee all moved in by 9am. It cost 30€ bt was worth it One thing I would recommend is…like most hotels I’ve stayed in in Bordeaux…put a Nespresso maker in the room and maybe a couple of canales. Again, staff were top notch and the hotel could be good with a couple of upgrades. Be careful when booking and check the bed size

Very convenient, well-maintained hotel. Nicolas on reception and Théo in the bar looked after us particularly well.
Gordon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, service and rooms!

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent room, clean, safe area. Lobby bar has cool vibe. Hotel is in excellent location with plenty of restaurants & shopping close by. The streets of Bordeaux are very small, many closed off to traffic. Local building are very old but well kept. I felt safe and people & families were walking about. Taxi to train station was on $6.50.
