Hotels with Breakfast in Bordeaux

It is not easy to rate this establishment. Its not that its not good, just it may be good for a small segment of travellers. The B&B is in a renovated old building with some very nice architectural artefacts. However, the design of the use of space is not too friendly to a traveler, especially if you plan to stay there for a few days or more. Let me first talk about the things I like about this B&B: 1. Beautiful old building, 2. very good room size for the room I rented, including a huge bathroom with bathtub. The room is bright with two big french door and window. Areas that I think it would improve to make staying there more enjoyable and convenient: 1. There is no closet or to put your clothes, so we have to lay out all our clothings on a big coach. If you have clothes, pants and jackets you want to hang, you may be out of luck, since there is very little space for hanging clothes, and the hangers supplied could not hang pants. So we lay our pants on the big couch. 2. The night tables are very small and not too much space to put a tablet and a phone and a glass of water there.We have to put the table lamp on the floor in order to make space for other items. 3. The toilet is in a different room outside of the bedroom area, and away from the bathroom. Unfortunately, there is no sink in the toilet area, and each time after going to toilet, one have to walk over to the bathroom to wash your hands, a bit inconvenient. 4. On arrival, we were asked what kind of bread we want in the morning, we indicated chocolate croissant, and we were given that for the 5 days we stayed there for breakfast. I think it would have been nice if they have offered other choices each morning. 5. There is no menu for the breakfast, and person looking after the breakfast would come and ask what you want. Unless I know of all the items that they can provide, I could only ask for the familiar items. I thought a simple menu with different offerings would be useful for clients.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station. It is very clean and quiet, so it’s easy to sleep at night. The only thing we didn’t like is that you can’t adjust aircon to be very cold, so we had to open windows to let in some cool air.

The hotel is right across the road from the train station and tram/bus stops. I had a nice stay except for two things. First, the tap/shower water was too hot. A hotel staff showed me how to adjust the water temperature and said it was like this all in France. I of course disagree. I had stayed in two ibis hotels in Paris and Nantes just before checking in this Mercure. I had stayed in countless hotels throughout my 30 years of travels in Europe and had never encountered this ”scalding water” issue. In any case, the solution was to let the water run an exceptionally long time till the very hot water ran out. Then I could adjust the temperature. I come from a place where people treasure fresh water and find this unacceptable. As the hotel take international guests, perhaps there should be notices/instructions in the bathroom on how to deal with this ”scalding water” issue. Second, the coffee provided in the room was below expectation. A 4-star hotel should do better than that. I was glad about the kettle in the room, though.

Lovely little room not too far away from the centre of all things happening in the centre.tranaport links are really good and the public transport system itself is so efficient. The room has a small kitchen filled with essentials for cooking light meals - hob, microwave and kettle. Sink prepared with things to wash dishes too. Also delighted to find we had a drip stand coffee machine! The room is compact but absolutely everything you need. There is a huge gate at the front of the property which means it's really safe. Neighbourhood was ok but would be walking quickly if I was on my own, however I didn't feel the need to get a taxi once. Bathroom has a hairdryer! Lovely graffiti artwork around the property as well.

The room is very big, with a square in front, a primary school in the back, and a large park next to it. The waiter is very friendly and there is a kitchen. The transportation is convenient, and the city center is all citywalk, which is very convenient. You can visit all the attractions in two hours, and the radius is 3 kilometers. The breakfast is average, nothing delicious.

Disappointed. The room was small, the furnisture was tired and in dire need of refurbishment. Second-hand books were used as part of the room decor. To enter the bathroom, one needs to put one leg in with the other leg left outside and, with the door half-open, bring the other leg in - that's the only way to enter. The room standard is much lower compared to similar type of hotels in most other countries, while the price is significantly higher. The building opposite the hotel is boring-looking and is undergoing constuction. The closest underground car parking is a bit far away and is extremely pricy. Everything is pricy in that country, while the quality of living is lower compared to most other European countries. The city as a whole dissapoints. A lot of **** people, really **** on the streets! You see them everywhere selling self-made trinkets, however, when you return a few minutes later they are all gone - ostensibly swept away by the police. You also see a lot of homeless people who sleep outside. This is a result of incompetence and mismanagement by ****** and his life partner, apparently. The standard of living in this city has deteriorated significantly compared to what was the case 5-10 years ago. On the positive side, the hotel is clean, the personnel is friendly. The location and the surrounding area are OK, however, it takes 15-20 of walking to most major sites.

The location of this hostel is very good, just in the city center, there will be tramps in the square at night, I just stayed for one night and didn't see many tramps, but there are still some tramps, Bordeaux night if you go alone is still a little scared because they are There are still some homeless or drunk people asking for cigarettes or change. One advantage of this hostel is that there is a Carrefour supermarket next to it to buy everything. The girls themselves can buy breakfast or drinks. They are themselves a small bar and can buy coffee in the morning, but the coffee is not good. Very good, I live in a girl's room, the locker at the bedside takes a little time to study how to use the lock, you will understand what I am saying when you live in, I thought he was bad at first, remember to bring your own lock, Otherwise, you can buy with them when checking-in. The good place for this store is that he has an elevator, but everyone in the elevator can go up and down, so the only thing protecting yourself is the key of your room, so remember to lock the door. There is no place to hang clothes in the bathroom. There is a hair dryer. The toilet is separated from the bathroom. It is not very clean. It is a bit shabby. It can only be said that this youth hostel is not very new. But it is still acceptable because the location is too good.

We booked 2 nights here at a weekend, easy to get to from the city centre, just jump on the c route tram, stop is just along the road. Intermarche is at the roundabout for supplies. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Easy check in service. Foyer has a variety of tables and chairs with more tables and chairs in the dining area. Key card operated lift for better security. Corridor had a drain smell which was off putting. Room was clean with a comfortable bed, duvet and pillows supplied. Air conditioning was fabulous, Hubbie likes the room to be ice cold but it was easy to turn off too! Window also opens wide if required, net curtain helps to keep room private as over looked by block of flats. Kitchen area with fridge, dishwasher, hob and microwave with good selection of cooking equipment plates etc. coffee machine in the room with one pod supplied, further pods are 1€ each, no milk supplied. Good selection of lights but limited sockets and no usb sockets at all. Tv has the ability to stream direct from your phone with simple instructions on the tv. Good sized shower room with mirror above the sink, shower gel supplied. Hairdryer fixed to the wall was adequate. Breakfast was continental with crepes, assortment of bread, yogurt, fruit, ham and cheese with scrambled eggs and a toaster available. Tea, coffee and juices available. Almond milk and gluten free bread was also visible.

🟢 The location was very convenient and easy to travel around. We parked there and then used the tramway to get around. Convenient and easy. The inside of the building looks fresh and good. The rooms were quite big so we could spread everywhere. Surprised to see the toilets and showers separated, but enjoyable. Large choice for the breakfast for 18€ but had to wait sometimes for refill. 🔴 the staff wasn't really friendly except if you were the one to do your approach and talk to them. There was an alarm early morning during our stay and no-one was at the reception to greet us and tell us if we had to evacuate or anything. When we (other clients and us) told the réceptionnist it wasn't normal she got upset and replied back instead of apologising or anything. The staff didn't know what they were supposed to do in this case. Not reassuring if there's an actual fire someday. 🟡 cleaning wasn't amazing but could have been worse so no comment on that.

For a multinational competition team, having a microwave oven, kitchen and refrigerator can solve too many problems. Of course, it would be even better to have an oven and washing machine. The bed in the bedroom is good, but the sofa bed is really uncomfortable. It can be comfortable even with air conditioning during the hottest hours. There is a Carrefour city nearby, but the price is a bit expensive. If you want to go to Lidy, a cheap supermarket, you have to take the tram for two stops, but you can walk there . After the tap water in France is burned, there is a lot of scale. If it is unacceptable, buy pure water.
