A few metres from Gare St Jean, this is an excellent hotel Staff very welcoming and helpful, all with excellent English ( a plus for us !). Room was nicely furnished and compact. Comfortable bed. Quiet a/c which was important as there is a fair amount of traffic noise that required closed windows.
Breakfast, included in our rate, was excellent. Food is available all day although we had only breakfast. Nearby restaurants exceeded expectations.
Would stay here again without question

Hotel is convenient for the main station and we were travelling by train. Reception helpful. Room was tiny with very little space to move around. Very small toilet cubicle and the rest of the bathroom semi-open plan to the bedroom. Might be suitable for a business person staying alone but not for a couple.
Everything clean and comfy though.
Housekeeping totally remade the room the first night, the second night they made the bed but didn't even empty the bins.
Tiny 'mini bar' more of a mini cupboard as it didn't provide any cooling. But the free mineral water provided on two out of three nights was welcome.
Surprisingly good range of restaurants outside the station where we had breakfast some days.
10-15 minutes walk to St Michel square where there is a good choice of restaurants and bars. About 30 minutes into town. Although it would have been easy enough to take one of the many trams if we'd wanted to.

My husband and I spent 3 nights here on our recent trip. We traveled by train and the hotel was very easy to find from Gare St. Jean. The room was small and the bathroom was strangely configured. The toilet was in its own room/ closet. The sink was in the middle and the shower was next to the sink. Thankfully the shower stall had a closing door that kept most of the water in. This was our third hotel in France and the first time we had a door on the shower!! We did not eat breakfast at the hotel because its not worth the extra money for it. We visited the Carrefour grocery store a couple of blocks over and got breakfast items to eat in our room. Bordeaux has a wonderful tram system and the hotel is between two stations for the C and D lines making it very easy to see the city. Some peop!e may be put off by the area this hotel is in such as being sketchy or dodgy but we did not feel unsafe. Also the air conditioning in our room worked very well as it was quite warm during our stay.
