Excellent location in the heart of the city. Nicely refurbished, clean and very attentive staff. Our room in real life ended up to be quite a lot smaller than pictures led you to believe - not much floorspace, lots of chairs and tables crammed next to each other. And just a personal opinion - asking for 30+ EUR for breakfast is a bit over the top (just put it into the room price by default)

The hotel is very, very good and the location is the best you can hope for. The room we had was not very large, but very well furnished with everything we needed. We had a nice view of the Grand Theatre and of the animation surrounding it, but the sound proofing was excellent and we were never disturbed by outside noises. We were in France, so we had to put up with the minor annoyance of the WC being separated from the rest of the bathroom. A very useful plus was the in-house garage, which by such a central location (in fact, within the city centre pedestrian area) was not to be taken for granted. We stayed three nights. The staff were very helpful. The concierge gave us precious advice on some sightseeing in the wine-growing regions and the reception were very helpful in solving a minor internet connection problem. We would return tomorrow if we could. I cannot understand the logic of having the WC separated from the rest of the bathroom. But ,unfortunately, this arrangement is to be expected in most hotels of France.

Fine architecture, view of the Grand Theatre, interior design (except the bar), the Brasserie (but see below). Very poor slow service on Sunday night 4 December in the Brasserie. Stuffy air in the corridors.

Unlike some of the high graded hotel, this hotel is so friendly and even made me think about coming back with my young family. Great location and good dining facilities. It is not cheap to stay here, let's say compare to the best western next door, but if you want to stay French Hotel, not American one, to enjoy the culture of Bordeaux, this is the place to be.

I likes everything about the Grand Hoel. From the time I stepped out of the taxi I was greeted by a friendly staff member. Check-in was a breeze, the front desk staff were phenomenal - the Director of Guest Relations accompany me to my room and explained the facilities, and features of the room. I was impressed because my bag was already in my room when we got there. The room was beautiful and I absolutel loved teh hotel -- it is truly "Grand"! My only complaint was that my room was towards the back of the hotel and I felt isolated.

We found the hotel decor and position to be excellent Arriving by car was not easy. I had to leave my husband in the car and go into the hotel to ask the receptionist how we pass the bollard, she was to say the least very unhelpful. We were totally unware of having to press a button to raise a bollard, the button was extremly poorly marked. Also for a 5* hotel I* do not expect to have to pay for Wifi and drinking water in our room, nor do I expect to have to pay for the use of the terrace overlooking the city, although it did have a plunge/spa pool which the hotel regarded as part of the spa. 60 euros for the priviledge of a view, - I think not.

This was one of the loveliest hotels I have stayed at. I do not speak French, yet the staff were very patient in communicating, and did their best to make the stay perfect. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and the location fantastic. This is certainly a luxury hotel, and the staff make it special with their discrete and caring service.

Undoubtedly the best thing about the hotel is it's location in the very centre of town. It is very grand indeed, and also very busy. Intimate it is not. The concierges were both extremely knowledgeable and very courteous. Everyone speaks very fluent English. For a five star hotel I was surprised by how much extra they charged for everything. In their literature and everywhere around the hotel, they advertise their spa services, pool, fitness facilities and rooftop terrace. What they don't tell you is that they charge you a very high fee to use these facilities - hotel guests cannot use the pool or the exercise machines without paying extra (quite a bit extra, I might add). This is not standard practice among the other 5 star hotels I've stayed at and I couldn't help but feel a bit misled. The charge for parking is also incredibly high.

Hotel lobby and location are very nice and great to relax in. Concierge very helpful for tour and restaurant recommendations. Reception girl not pleasant. it took three hours for room to be ready so we could not check in until 3.30pm after we arrived at 12.30. We also could not get wifi in our room and after two attempts to try and fix problem we gave up. This hotel should only be booked for location, otherwise it is overpriced and not five stat at all.

Very expensive Mini bar - Riduculous prices Swimming pool - Riduculous price Breakfast - Riduculous price Lovely hotel, fantastic location, but sorry, but way too expensive for what it was. Very expensive Small room, even though it said it was an upgrade to a "deluxe" Paid €30 for valet parking, picked my car up (after 30 minutes wait !) to find my luggage was not in the car as promised and a small card picture that was left in one of my bags had been folded in two ! Will not stay here again, however I accept it's a lovely hotel and fantastic location. Bordeaux is wonderful as well !

Wonderful hotel,splendid location,staff very helpful apart from one of the concierge'S.We had a superb room with 3 small balconys looking across the square,bars restaurants,shops all within easy reach.You can relax in luxury here and there are many good well priced restaurants near by.great to sit on the restaurant veranda and watch the world go by Overnight parking is 30 euros which is very expensive,The Main restaurant is just too expensive at 160 euros! For a main course alone.I Dont care who the chef is.The real bone of contention is that we were charged 30 euros each just to go for a swim and not even use the Spa! This is outrageous and should be included in the room deal,subsequently we didnt bother.The restaurant downstairs had good food and wasnt too expensive however breakfast is a different mattter but will no doubt be very tasty
