The building was beautiful, the staff were amazing. The bar downstairs was fantastic and the mixologists knew everything about every cocktail. We loved our stay.
Cozy little hotel with a lovely bar situated just off the Main Street. Room was a good size for European standards. We had a lovely balcony that’s furnished with a table and two chairs. Overlooking a quiet street. Conveniently located for the tram to the airport and pretty much anywhere else you’d wish to go in Bordeaux. The staff were super friendly. Cleanliness was spot on. Plenty restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Overall, a great stay! We’d definitely return.
Well situated in the center of the old city. Staff were unfailingly helpful and professional. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional. Would unhesitatingly recommend.
Made a last minute booking which went smoothly and the staff were very agreeable and welcoming to us and our dog. The room was very clean and tidy, breakfast a bit more than basic, and the location is very central but in a mostly pedestrianised area so parking is several blocks away. My only suggestion is to provide parking details with the booking confirmation which would have saved us having to find parking and then move our car to the closer, discounted parking (still 3-4 blocks from the hotel).
