Hotel is very good value for money. There is no elevator so please pack light and be prepared to lug your bags up 2 flight of stairs. This small family run hotel has very clean small rooms with a great location in the heart of the city. (5 mins walk from the tourist office and the bus and tram stops).... more

The location and the price are good, so it is a decent place to stay. The staff/owners are very nice and helpful. The most important downside is that there is no AC, so if you stay there during the summer it gets very hot in the rooms and there is no fan in the room. It would be a simple... more

The staff at Hotel de France were extremely kind and helpful. We lucked out with what was likely one of the largest rooms in the hotel, although we paid the standard rate. It was a lovely stay in the heart of Bordeaux. Note: At this time it would be best to book your stay on a weekend as there is... more

This is a small hotel right in the centre of Bordeaux, close to the best (and most expensive) shopping area. The proprietors are very friendly and helpful. Monsieur has an obsession with cleanliness, which is no bad thing for a hotel owner. There is no lift and it's a long way up some steep stairs to the bedrooms on the... more

I stayed at this hotel for a week in September while attending a conference. The hotels on the official meeting list were all Accor properties, and although I don't generally mind them, a search here at Tripadvisor suggested that the Bordeaux properties weren't perhaps the very best (and subsequent queries to my colleagues that used them confirmed this impression). They... more

We stayed at the Hotel de Farnce in September 08 for 3 nights. The room was absolutley tiny and felt even smaller due to the odd brown wall paper and peculiar decor. The reception and breakfast areas are nicely decorated, but I can't say the same for the rooms. The rooms are relatively clean, but could have been cleaner -... more

Stayed for 2 nights, perfect location for walking around town.Breakfast good for size of hotel and staff helpful providing decaff coffee. Room was v small (103) and toilet v cramped. Bed fine if you like a v hard one. Price reasonable but if you stay here check out the room first and ask for another if unsuitable. Phil , Lincolnshire,UK more

I re-read the Trip Advisor reviews after having booked it and thought I was in for a really rough weekend at the Hotel de France. We had room 107 which seemed to be the largest on that floor and was ok. Pity the poor people who had one of the other rooms that had a window looking out onto a... more

We are a couple who love to travel and have stayed in a variety of hotels in different countries. We really, really don't undertand why this hotel has done so well on Trip Advisor. Our room was so, so tiny it was hard to function in it and unpacking our cases was impossible. It was tatty, there was an unplesant... more
