The hotel is located in a pedestrian zone, it’s very central. The staff is amazing and super friendly. Rooms are quite small, especially the bathroom, but they are clean. Good deal for the money.

The price for the location is excellent. It is near the middle of all of the main sights downtown. The building is old, which makes it interesting, but also can be challenging to get luggage to the 4th floor. The staff are very willing to help, but it is something to be aware of. The rooms were clean and there was room service every day.

Hotel Gambetta, being a 2-star property, is as youd expect, basic, clean, and no frills. The room was comfortable and clean, but relatively small. The staff were great, and very helpful. Location is very central and walkable, with parking approximately 300m away. There was noticeable street noise at night, and the blockout curtains didnt quite shield the night lights.

Hotel Gambetta was situated within walking distance to most sites. It was close to the trams, restaurants, bars & cafes. Some of the rooms were small but the location was a winner. Continental breakfast was plentiful. Would recommend this hotel.

Very convenient for central Bordeaux, breakfasts excellent with plenty of choice. Everything lovely and clean, bedding wonderful - but it could do with a bit of redecoration, some areas looking tired and in need of painting. Parking €35 for two nights as special deal with hotel. All in all, excellent value.

Location, they say, is everything. If so, this hotel is the place to be. And the staff is tremendous. The room was small and a bit outdated but ask yourself why you’re there. Are you moving in and making it home or do you just need a place to sleep at night? I recommend

Bordeaux- 2 night stay

For the star level of this hotel, the price and the location….it was excellent. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. They are currently doing some renovations, so there is some noise after 9am, but we were out exploring by then. Can’t wait to see their remodel. Would stay here again.

Hotel is nicely situated , close to - but not in the middle of it all. Easily walkable , and although it’s in a lively area by day it is quiet on a night . It is a pleasant and basic hotel - was perfect for me. If you want luxury then you need to upgrade on spec and cost - this is ideal for one or two nights. Staff are friendly and helpful , breakfast at €9 is not overly expensive as you can have as much as you like. It was worth the money and the bed was comfortable
