Loved the City

One night stay on a motorcycling trip. Convenient, safe parking, air conditioned. Tram outside to take you into the centre of town.
Dominic, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A decent budget hotel which suited us as close to the station. 30 minute walk to get to the central area but not a problem if reasonably fit. Quiet and safe location with no traffic noise of any consequence.

Relaxing and enjoyable

Good spot close to transport and the city centre as well as the train station. Helpful reception staff who were able to help me with questions or concerns meant it was an enjoyable experience to stay. Both comfortable and relaxing.

Great reception staff

The lady with brown hair and lovely oriental accent at the reception desk made our stay very comfortable. We loved her friendly attitude and readiness to help any time. We also appreciated that our room was ready upon arrival in earlier hours.
Anna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good generally. Restaurant has limited menu. Close to station. Good place via trams to explore Bordeaux. Facilities very good. Would come again.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice standard hotel close to Bordeaux centre. Staff are v friendly and rooms clean enough. Basic amenities and clean rooms. Air conditioning didn’t work super well in our room. Breakfast was ok standard. Coffee could have been better.
Valerie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is one tram station or a 7 minutes walk away from the main train station. All major landmarks can be reached by tram or foot. While the rooms look newly renovated at first sight, some parts like the toilets or elevators definetely were not. The towels were of poor quality. Depending on which staff member is sitting at the réception desk, you are either being greeted in a friendly way, or not being looked at at all. The lady who checked us in and out was great, though. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not meet our expectations, as it was not up to date in terms of nutritions and variety.

10/10 Exceptional

Well located

This hotel is close to the train station but not enough so that the noise can be a problem. There is a team stop more or less in front which will take you within 10-15 minutes to Place de la Bourse. Being in the older part of town not far from the train station, I felt uneasy at times in the evening. There was no noise in the room, it had a sofa and essentials for morning coffee. I did not try the breakfast because it was too expensive (I felt 18,50€ was a bit much). There aren’t cafés close by so you will have to get some downtown, at the train station or grab croissants and eat in your room. A beautiful city and this location is great to explore from. The entrance is welcoming with lots of space to relax. Check in was good. I would recommend and stay here again.
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very disappointing for a 4* hotel

Upon seeing the room I was very surprised that this was a 4* hotel. We had booked a room with a king size bed and a sofa bed. Despite confirming that the sofa bed had been made up with clean linen when we checked in, it had not - instead it smelt unaired and obviously slept in. Additionally the waste bin in the room was so dirty they had to take it away when we showed it to staff (but they did not provide a replacement). The kindest way to describe the decor/fixings is ‘tired’, the room also smelt damp and of stale cigarettes - as did any clothes left in the wardrobe. We also had to get the key card recoded several times as we would return to the room to find it didn’t work. We went out for dinner one evening and returned about 11.45pm to find the hotel closed and locked. Then spent 10 minutes ringing the buzzer, before having to phone them to request they let us in. However, I can confirm the buffet breakfast was very good.

Very Satisfied

Lovely attitude of all staff. Check in was effortless. I asked for a late checkout and J was accommodated. Good selection of food and beverages at breakfast. The was no restriction to the amount of food available. Room was very comfortable. We we offered a free upgrade with free mini bar. We had a peaceful night sleep
Sunnil, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Early check in was really helpful, friendly staff and good breakfast. Ideal location for the station
Ninette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The plus is to be close to the train station and an overground light train station that connects to an all main areas of Bordeaux.
Marcelo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We did not arrive on the 14th so they cancelled our reservation and charged us two rooms, one night! Even though they had my phone #, no one reached out to us to ask why we hadn’t shown up. We had to make other arrangements.
Mona, 3-night trip

Very friendly and helpful staff made for an enjoyable stay at this clean and comfortable hotel.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

close to a train station and downtown.
natalia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A budget type stay in a budget hotel. That’s the best way to describe this property and our stay. The room was reasonably clean and satisfactory other than the toilet paper which is given in a dispenser one square at a time. The breakfast buffet was limited and probably not worth the €19 per adult but was convenient if you have kids. The bar prices were unreasonably high (€6 for a can of Coke and €7 for water). The tram was not working and so the location, which isn’t the nicest part of town, turned out to be an inconvenient walk to the main areas where activity is present. But again, relatively cheap price overall for a somewhat mediocre property.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved this hotel. Great proximity to train station and also walkable to old town. We had amazing patio and breakfast was perfect each morning.
