Amazing central location with very helpful and friendly staff. Didn’t try the breakfast but our few days there were very pleasant. The top floor room was a little ‘tired’ but perfectly serviceable for our needs. Would recommend for a central Bordeaux hotel that doesn’t cost the earth.

We like the proximity to shops, dining, and the friendliness of staff. Quaint and charming, but modernized. Excellent shower! Clean and nice linens. As a minor detail, bring your own hair conditioner, they only offer a body/hair wash.

Comfortable, Central location, close to everything including Metro from airport. The beds very comfortable, and rooms very quiet for great sleep. Morning breakfast was convenient and opens early. The girls at the front desk were all very friendly and helpful. The area around the centre closes early, with just local bars & bistros open after 8pm.
