Good location within easy walking distance to the centre and river. We had booked a bed apartment for a four night stay. The apartment was clean, spacious and had a small well equipped kitchenette. On arrival we were greeted by being told we needed to leave a credit card open with them as deposit to cover any damages during our stay, that there would be no fresh towel changes and no room service or cleaning unless we paid an additional charge. They also said we could have reduced price entrance to an Egyptian virtual experience next to the hotel if we booked through the hotel reception. Not the most welcoming check-in but it was honest. When it was time to check out, we asked reception about booking a taxi to the airport for us. When we enquired about the cost, they quoted €45 so we booked our own for about €20. The train would have been even cheaper but would have meant quite a walk with bags in hot weather. We had a great time exploring Bordeaux and the region and would definitely return. However due to the initial welcome and hidden extra costs, we would stay elsewhere.
