Wonderful hotel in the center of Bordeaux

Review of Villas Foch
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 May 2024
We decided to splurge when we went to Bordeaux and booked a room at Villas Foch. It is located close to the center of the old town and the trams are across the street.

The staff were very welcoming and let us speak our basic French with patience, The breakfast buffet was marvellous - there were so many choices that it took our full stay to work through them. Our room was small but comfortable.

The staff, especially Camille, were very helpful in resolving a couple of challenges. First, we wanted to visit Michel de Montaigne's tower, where he wrote his essays in the 1500s. We didn't want to rent a car and there isn't any public transit. Camille helped figure out how we could get there. It wasn't inexpensive but this was one of the reasons we came to Bordeaux.

We found it challenging to find a restaurant for dinner during the Fête du Travail. Most were closed but Camille came to the rescue.

When we return to Bordeaux we will return to the Villas Foch.

We are just back from a three night stay in villa Foch. We had a wonderful time. The hotel is a boutique hotel and is so comfortable. The foyer / stairwell is stunning. The staff are so friendly and helpful and welcoming. The room..’cosy chambre’ was small and compact and suited our needs perfectly. The hotel is spotlessly clean. The Sauna and pool were wonderful and I used it every day after walking for hours around Bordeaux. I would highly recommend you go to la Tupina for a wonderful experience. It is a restaurant that featured in Rick Steins Bordeaux program. We also ate one lunch and had several coffee and carrot cake(the nicest ever) visits to Horace cafe. There is also a gorgeous Boulangerie called Terre de Beaulieu. The artisan breads and cakes are delicious. Villa Foch is perfectly positioned within walking distance of everywhere.

Just returned from a three night break to Bordeaux staying at this hotel. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Had a beautiful room which was very comfortable and spacious. My partner used the pool and sauna and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's well located in a quiet area but easy access to the tram system or a walk to the centre of the city. We included breakfast and there was a good choice of both hot and cold food to choose from. The hotel is spotless throughout. We used a couple of the restaurants (le 1925 and Loulou) that were recommended to us by the hotel and the food at both was lovely. Thank you for a lovely break.

What a wonderful hotel. From the phone call the day before check-in the staff could not have been more helpful. Knowing our time of arrival, they had managed to get housekeeping to make up the room earlier. The room was modern, clean and well equipped. It faced the road but was really quiet day and night. We did not have breakfast but the buffet looked varied and appetising. We used the bar and the choice and staff were excellent. The hotel is well situated for walking in the city. Our only improvement which hopefully the hotel will take onboard are the cups in the bedrooms need handles as making a hot drink in the current ones make it difficult to drink - but if that is the only improvement it says a lot about the hotel. Well recommended.

Just a great hotel with a wonderful staff. The room was excellent and the staff could not have been more attentive (but not overly so). This hotel is a bit pricey but we felt that it was worth every penny. Nice pool and fitness room too. Location decent although not right in the heart of things so very quiet.
