The ONLY reason to stay in this four star property is if you have business in the Merideck area which is easily a 15 minute walk to the historic tourist areas. If you're moving at a leisurely pace then it's a 20 minute walk, which is certainly not convenient. Also, there is really nothing interesting to look at as you... more

Arrived by TGV to St. Jean Station, took a taxi to Bordigala. Very friendly and informative hotel staff how gave good advice on how to get in and about Bordeaux. Wonderful rum galettes on the counter. Nice breakfast sitting and content in the morning. Ten minute walk from the city center, nice location. Strange room layout, with toilet in separate... more

The Budigala was the second stop of a 3 city trip to France for me and my wife. We arrived by TGV at the St Jean station and taxied to the hotel. The train station area was quite a surprise to me - a very dirty poor area. Let's just say my vision of Bordeaux was different. While this was... more

We stayed at the Burdigala Hotel for 2 nights in May. I booked because of the positive reviews on trip advisor and also needed to be able to park our car but be close to the city. This hotel was wonderful. It was walking distance to town and restaurants. The staff could not do enough for you. When we walked... more

We picked the hotel as part of the Bordeaux Tourist office visitors package, which offers museum entrances, trolly passes, wine tastings and a variety of hotels. the package is a great value and very useful items. The hotel is three minutes from the Meriadeck shopping mall where you can find anything and one of the cities three trolly lines. The... more

The price of the room was a bit out of whack with what you got. The room is nice - not period but modern,. The most fustrating was that 2 plugins in my room didn't work and at the price I paid I expect perfect maintenance. The desk sent someone to look when I found the 1st didn't work, and... more

We had been staying is some rather uncomfortable accommodation elsewhere, so we thought that we would book the best hotel in Bordeaux as a treat. Although some of the guides bill this hotel as having "period" features, it is recently built and occupies a rather unprepossessing site near some unattractive modern concrete flats, reasonably close to the city centre, but... more

The friendly staff that welcomes you at Burdigala - just a 5 min walk from historical and central Bordeaux are real professionals.The surroundings of this hotel do not provide any of the rooms with a great, romantic view. If that's what you're after: go somewhere else. But you don't want to excperience this beautiful UNESCO-listed city from your hotel window... more

A reasonably good hotel - very friendly helpful staff. We were upgraded to better room for no particular reason which was very nice - as a result we had a very large room - more like a junior suite. Decor in rooms is a bit mundane - bathroom was reasonable size but was starting to show its age. Parking (by... more
