Simple 2 night stay for 1 person. Excellent location. Clean comfortable room. Friends stayed in double room that was very compact. Room was hot and AC only allows to turn down to 23°C and street quite loud so hard to keep window open. Breakfast was okay (Not vegan friendly). Coffee/latte machine. Yogurt, cheese, simple cereal and plain bread and delicious croissants. Fruit cup seemed very old. Next time I would forgo the 12euro breakfast and sit out in any of the beautiful street cafes or by the river with a coffee and croissant (or 2) and pick up some fresh fruit at the market or supermarket.

I had trouble breathing the stagnant air in this hotel. It is an old hotel, on the low end of amenities. Small elevator. Small rooms. At least there was a window that I could open for fresh air. I paid for breakfast in advance but I got claustrophobic in the restaurant and left to get breakfast in a coffee shop next door. I was grateful for a bed, toilet, shower and sink. The staff was kind. I honestly don’t know how they can breathe at work, but they are kind and good people.

Great location, very nice staff, nice view of the city, but overall bad rooms, would not recommend staying. Warning, the pictures make the rooms look a lot bigger and better kept than they actually are. There was a very unpleasant smell in the lobby and on the floor of our apartment. The room as I said was extremely small, and the bathroom as well. The walls were unkept and had stains everywhere. One of the decorative pillows had a cigarette hole burned into it.

Although this hotel location is a great advantage to visit the heart of the attractions in Bordeaux, beware of the disadvantages involved in a very small place, delays to check in due to rooms not being ready and general lack of care by staff when it comes to provide service beyond the strictly necessary. If you're lucky, the staff will be helpful, if not you are very much on your own. The lift is the smallest lift I've ever seen and you should not consider this place if you are expecting to do anything else in the hotel besides going to bed or take a quick shower.

Location in Bordeaux is excellent. Easy walking distance to the city center. Hotel is not fancy - picture on Orbitz makes it look nicer than it is. Water temperature alternated between cold and scaling during shower within a few seconds. Funny odor in the lobby entrance and in stairwell.

For a city centre home, it is good value. The beds were fairly comfortable. The breakfast was far better than expected. If you have a car to park, check in first at the hotel- it will cut your parking costs by 40%.

The location and view were great! There is AC which at this time of the season, AC is a MUST! The one MAJOR thing about this location is the room smelled like a dirty toilet! I’m thinking it was the piping and such, but it was so bad that I could smell it in my nose for about an hour or two after we checked out. I couldn’t sleep because the smell was all over. I gagged every time we returned from an outing. Even though the room looked clean, I felt dirty because of the smell.

Good for short stay, budget conscious traveller
Hard to get a decent hotel with good location at a reasonable price, so this is good for the budget conscious traveller. It is the worst for sleep quality with paper thin walls and the single rooms all grouped together - your bed at the door and a tiny corridor outside so you hear everything including an extremely irritating hum that ran all night - May have been from the aircon which was actually too good for a tiny room, but greatly needed in a Bordeaux summer. Not a hotel for claustrophobic guests - tiny lift, and an even smaller shower where the shower curtain wraps around you as you press up against the taps - and I’m an very average sized lady! They may be trying to be eco-friendly however a plastic coffee cup was ridiculous for a hot coffee.
