Great hotel overall. Loved the walk in shower, quality of towels, coffee maker in room, satellite TV. The area was not the greatest, but close to the train station. Easy walk to the tram which got you to the centre of Bordeaux. Would recommend this hotel.

Easy to find and very convenient to Gare Saint Jean. Room was clean and well appointed. I appreciated the cold bottle of water in the room fridge. I was on the 5th floor and there was some odd noise upstairs but later I realized it must be the restaurant on the 6th floor. It did not keep me awake. I can recommend this place.

Especially if you want accommodations within an easy walking distance of the train station. The hotel itself is beautiful and modern. I loved my room, including my balcony with a view toward the river. The Neighbourhood is just OK; again, it’s close to a train station. But within less than five minutes walk, you are in the main touristic parts of the city. You are also right on the river for long easy walks.
