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.

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.

Shower cubicles are way too small.
Thé hotel service js good and the hotel condition is good. If you are a larger person you will need to breathe in or inhale to be able to close the shower door. I’m not especially large but I had to do this .

8/10 Very Good

Located just off the main shipping and pedestrian area, the hotel is in a small, quiet street. The area felt safe (we were 3 senior ladies with some mobility issues) and very accessible. Everyone staffing the front desk was fluent in English, friendly and efficient. Now that you have to request shampoo and cream rinse if you need it; it is not automatically supplied in the rooms. We had two rooms, one was on the first floor, handicapped accessible, and comfortably large and one (the single room) was elevator accessible and quite small but also comfortable to sleep in. The bar was a nice lounge that also functioned as a very comfortable meet-up space. (We only had wine but it was fully stocked.) During the day, before it was open to serving, it was a lovely, uncrowded place to wait, relax with friends, or read and reply to email. It has an old-world feel to it with me-, world comforts in it's seating.

first of all very great staff and very friendly with great English. We hv free crissant available (time to time) as well as wster refill, and mint water too! secondly, ver excellent location, cannot beat this, 5 mins to Gambetta square where along that 5 mins walk to Gambetta there are many high end stores like louis vuitton, hermes, lancet, etc. as well as lical leather made, there is also a BK Burger King is at the corner there. Majestic but very old Cathedral St Andre is about 7 mins walk. Rue Catherine shopping, the longest pedestrian stores in France... about 15 minn walk. The road (rue temple) in front of the hotel is not accessible by car, and either the next wide road at the end of rue temple where thr trams are passing by, this is just 3 minutes from hotel. The hotel it self is a renovated 200 year old building, very beautifully snd neatly done! Huge white blocks of stones are visible on the wall, especially around a beautiful stair case. The room is not big but enough for both of us, great shower room good size 2x4 ft with both rain head and handheld shower head! , bed, room light is good too, etc.

Beautiful city - great hotel
Lovely hotel. We were upgraded to a deluxe comfort room. Check in was easy and staff very helpful. The rooms were clean and well decorated, comfortable beds and air conditioning too! Bordeaux is a beautiful city. Driving around isn’t easy as it’s mostly pedestrianised but the staff in the hotel were very helpful with directions and maps and we received discounted parking locally, with our stay. Family friendly - yes.
