This hotel has a really perfect location.Close to shopping areas, restaurants and most of the attractions. The interior is nice, and the staff is very friendly end helpful. Breakfast was very good. But our room was very small - we could not have both our suitcases open at the same time. There was place for the bed - and not... More

I chose this hotel for the location in the historic centre of Bordeaux and it couldn't have been better located. When I checked in around 9.30 am, as my room was not yet ready, I was offered a seat in the sitting/dining area near the front desk where breakfast was currently in full swing. Despite this I was not offered... More

We booked through Eurostar and asked for this hotel as we read some good reviews and wanted a Hotel of quality. So we were not trying to scrimp and save. We were given a very small room at the front which had a double bed that did not seem big enough and there was only just enough room to squeeze... More

The only grand thing was the price, way too high considered the quality of the service, the size of the rooms and the poor breakfast. Another good thing was the location, but of course this is not the only hotel in the centre of Bordeaux. "Ordinary hotel francaise" would be more appropriate.

Staying 3 nights over New Year, friends had booked the hotel. Clean, small rooms and a great location, but at €180 per night, one would expect a shower that was more than a dribble, a decent size double bed and heating that functioned.

On my way to the wine region, I stayed two nighs in this hotel. At first glance i looks very nice. But the single room I stayed in was simply too small. I peeked into a 'normal" room which looked a lot better, but my room was in fact unacceptable. Nice breakfast buffet, but no bar or restaurant. Fortunately it's... More

We stayed here for 3 nights along with 8 other couples, for a recent reunion celebration. Having read about the various room options, I had requested a quiet room that had been renovated. Our room on the third floor did not disappoint, with queen bed, desk, and modern bathroom with tub/shower combo. Another plus was that a full breakfast was... More

We were in a 3rd floor twin-bedded room and had no "neighbours" as such, by luck of the design of the floor. As the hotel is in a quiet side street, there was no noise to disturb us.The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room was spacious and comfortable. Everything worked as it should e.g. aircon and hairdryer. There was... More

First, be advised that there is more than one Best Western in Bourdeaux. This one is located about 15 minutes by taxi from the train station and is located in the center of the more charming and older section of the town of Bourdeaux. The other Best Western we saw is walking distance from the train station but I would... More
