Small hotel, great friendly service with a good breakfast.
Small hotel in the middle of Bordeaux, walking distance from all. They arranged a daily taxi for us as being in that part of the city, It is hard to get an uber. Would definitely stay agian.

Excellent location, service and rooms!
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.

Shower cubicles are way too small.
Thé hotel service js good and the hotel condition is good.
If you are a larger person you will need to breathe in or inhale to be able to close the shower door. I’m not especially large but I had to do this .

This is a terrific location for walking or reaching the sights of Bordeaux by tram or bus. The staff is excellent - friendly and very helpful in getting us to where we wanted to go. The breakfast is outstanding and the rooms are comfortable and clean.
