Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently mention the hotel's spacious rooms, some even receiving upgrades to comfortable and roomy accommodations, with separate toilet facilities often noted. Its strategic location near the train station and a tram stop makes exploring Bordeaux easy, and many find it convenient for accessing highways outside the city center. While some guests have found the breakfast options to be less impressive than expected, many appreciate the excellent value, given the room size and proximity to transport.

Adequate stay near the station

spacious layoutconvenient locationflat pillowsshower drain

The room had a spacious layout, that was pleasing. A tram stop stood right outside, this convenience was amazing for city exploration. I found it quiet even though the tram ran close by, a nice surprise.

The pillows provided a lack of comfort. They were very flat. A slow drain bothered me when I used the shower, so I had to turn the water off from time to time.
