I’m currently sat in the hotel lobby, drinking a local Bordeaux beer and enjoying the lounge style atmosphere of the welcome area. I couldn’t have expected my stay here to be any better. The staff were friendly and went above to accommodate for us, even providing players and knives for our super market bought cheese and meats. The rooms were small but comfortable and had everything you need. Location is ideal, a short walk from the river, restaurant and boulangeries as well as the train station. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Staff were lovely, always friendly and helpful. Hotel room small but clean. Reception area lovely for relaxing with a coffee or beer. However the area is a bit run down and it was quite noisy at night. Conveniently located re. The train station tho. Half hour walk into central Bordeaux.

Very easy check in, and a very helpful staff member who told us about some great spots to visit and eat. He told us about La Tupina, and it was fantastic french food. Right around the corner is Point Rouge, which also had amazing food and drinks. Floors in our room were slightly dirty, but the location was excellent

Great price, clean & walkable to historic centre

Small, but very clean room. We didn’t have the breakfast. We walked a few minutes to the Columbus Cafe across from the train station. Not the best location, but walkable to the historical part and trams going right by.

Stay another night, so had a 3 night stay. The location is very, very convenient. It's close to the train station and there's a tram just outside of the hotel that can take you to the centre of the city. The staff are friendly and so helpful. It's a hip hotel but not too trendy. It's comfortable and the breakfasts are amazing. Thank you for a great stay.

We knew when we booked it was just for one night. We were pleasantly surprised how good the breakfast was The sinks in the bathrooms were terrible, beds hard. I guess it is more off a hostel than a hotel. Staff were very helpfull
