We saw some abandoned building in nearby areas and homeless people. Staff at the front desk was very nice though, the hotel itself is new and very clean, it's just the environment not very comfortable.

Lovely hotel and staff - breakfast disappointing for Euro 19 - very little fresh fruit and wasn’t topped up when empty and also had to wait for scrambled eggs - had to ask even though the bowl was empty and when I was filled up was used by 3 people and I had to ask again . Staff were lively and just a shame breakfast wasn’t better

Hotel itself is great but the area around S Jean station is undergoing significant regeneration. There is a large construction site a few blocks away. Other buildings close by are disgusting. Earmarked for demolition, the lanes are full of rubbish and rats. Across the road, a food court and restaurants have closed because the development seems to be stalled. The area is quite safe day or night.

Passing through Bordeaux

What a great way to kick off our anniversary trip with a fantastic, romantic stay at hotel 56 in Bordeaux. Close to both the Gare St Jean and the waterfront promenade it is a very convenient location for travellers. Super clean. Very quiet. Amazing staff. Everyone took great care of us and ensured our stay was a pleasant one.

Propre et moderne

Very clean and comfortable. The location is not very convenient for food, but 10 minutes from train station. We can only have dinner in the restaurant of hotel. The food is not exceptional for me personally. I had higher expectations, to be honest, especially for breakfast. Still a great hotel to stay compared with Ibis which is closer to train station but much lower quality at similar prices after adding breakfast and free cancellation. Just tiny reminder that some rooms might have a 2nd door interior linked to the neighbor room even though it’s locked, but if this bothers you, it might be worth checking before booking the rooms. Besides, it seems to me that the sound proof is not the best. We can easily hear the noise when cars passing by, but maybe it’s normal for a room with balcony.
