Driving up and unloading by the front door was difficult. A nice location. Excellent staff, very helpful. The breakfast was nice but unfortunately not included. Our room faced a tiny courtyard. The room design was Spartan and plasticky. No shelf in the shower for any of your shampoos, etc.

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.
