    Could not be dropped off at the front of the hotel because it’s a pedestrian walk.

    The location was excellent.

    Sadly people noise from the street was loud & continued to disturb sleep through the night. Despite closed windows, it didn't help & during summer months you may wish to leave open for air. I believe there are plans to refurbish the rooms & that would help as the size is snug & hanging clothes up is a process of maneuvering a door etc..

    Wonderfully helpful, knowledgeable staff, very good service. Terrific cocktail bar, very interestingly decorated, great staff, great service, very helpful with recommendations on their food & wine. They presently use this room for breakfast & again, lovely variety of breakfast food. Location is great for walking, catching a tram &/or to organise taxi collection.

    It’s just a bit of a nit pick but the hotel was under renovations. I think customers should be notified of this. As a result breakfast was served in the bar and was so basic. No cereal, no toaster. Coffee and juice were served in plastic and paper cups which we thought was very tacky regardless of renovations.

    The rooms for very spacious for a room in France. Comfortable beds. The staff always happy to help.

    This is a great hotel to visit Bordeaux. The hotel is very centrally located so it's easy to walk to all sites nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. We did not have breakfast in the hotel so I cannot comment on that. When it was time to go to the train station, the staff arranged a taxi for us and was there at the time requested. There are plenty of shops & restaurants nearby. Highly recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay here again.

    Elevator is super low. Even staying on 4th floor(USA floor 5) I usually took the stairs as it was so slow.

    Location is excellent. Bordeaux center is walkable and hotel is well located. Safe, lots of cafes, shops very close.

    A couple of design problems in the bathroom which was too narrow for me to comfortably brush my long hair! Also, water seeps between the sill of the shower and the bottom edge of the glass partition threatening a flood, but by my second shower I had learned to use the bath mat to dam the flow. The room entrance door does not fit well - light comes in from the corridor.

    The staff are very professional and welcoming. The breakfast is varied and delicious. The hotel makes a good effort to recycle (waste bins are divided into sections) and use reusable containers for drinking water and yogurts. Well furnished and decorated; quiet. I chose a rate including breakfast which was good value.
