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

We had a wonderful stay at this centrally located hotel. The hotel is located in a pedestrian area close to great shopping, dining, public transportation options are within a short walk. Staff was friendly, caring and helpful. Special thanks to Malika, who was very caring and helpful. Parking is available close by although it is a tight one.

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.
