Great Hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Aug 2024
Excellent hotel - friendly, courteous staff who were always generous with their time and help. Great location with a tram stop, direct from the airport, just outside the hotel entrance - less than 2 euros for the journey. Also brilliant hypermarket acoss the road! Easy access and walk to the centre of Bordeaux centre and in many way First Name is ideally located on the edge of the city in a quiet area - some lovely restaurants/wine bars just around the corner (vear left up the hill at the Kilkenny Irish Pub) from the hotel. The food in the hotel is very good and reasonably priced - drinks lovely but a bit on the expensive side (5 Euro for 25 cl lager - a big let down).

Also, whilst appreciating the 'eco arguement' a small fridge in the room would be great - sorry but the 'Group Kitchen' concept does NOT work - e.g. the fridge had a lot of stale food in it and drinks that were left to chill were taken by other guests ( they probably thought they were free to guests).

Dear johnjosephk,

Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review!

We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the friendliness and helpfulness of our Team, as well as FirstName location with easy access to Bordeaux’s center and public transport. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of the local restaurants and bars, and found the nearby supermarket convenient.

We’ve taken note of your comments about the drink prices and the Kitchenett concept. We understand the inconvenience of not having a fridge in the room and will look into improving this setup for future stays.

Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for another pleasant experience.

Thanks again!

I used a mug the day of check in - and the next day, after our room was refreshed, I reached for the upside down mug (indicating it was a new/fresh one), and upon closer inspection, it still had tea stains/smells from the previous day, meaning they do not clean the mugs, and just rinse and put it back. Kind of gross considering I don't know whether they've washed it properly since the last guests at all. I have also fallen ill, which may or may not be due to this.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve.

Best regards

Great location, close to all the tourist attractions without being in the middle of all the mayhem. Very clean and fully equipped with all the necessary items for a comfortable stay. I thought the handheld steamer was genius! The bed was so comfy I didn’t want to wake up in morning. The staff was super helpful and attentive. I think the hotel is great value for the comfort it provides. Highly recommend!

We stayed here for one night with our two children (10 and 12). We didn't leave the hotel as we were tired and were coming back to Bordeaux during our stay. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We had adjoining rooms and the rooms were fresh, clean, quiet and relaxing. The restaurant was a great place to sit with the family and the food for dinner and breakfast was exquisite. We also got a modern late night feeling from the bar which you could take or leave if you had children with you. We will definitely stay here again and we have already recommended to friends.
