Boa localização. Café da manhã bem gostoso. Não é um hotel de luxo mas entrega o que promete. O estacionamento é um pouco complicado mas fica próximo ao local.

Not worth it
This is an old Novotel. It needs a lot of room renovations. For the price point I would not recommend this hotel. The location was decent, the staff was good. The breakfast had very poor selection. You can find much better hotels for a better price in Bordeaux.

Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden. Der Buffet ist sehr gut. Die Zimmerausstatung ist zwar etwas ungewöhnlich getrennte WC und Badezimmer, aber nicht weiter schlimm. Die Badewanne ist eher für eine Wohnungwichtig, nicht für ein Hotelzimmer. Sehr gute Lage, man kann die Altstadt zu Fuß erreichen.

The staff have been wonderful. Helpful, professional and in most cases multilingual.
Quick to check in and get to your room, excellent if you are tired from travel.
This site has a secure area to leave your bags and cases if you are leaving later after your check out time and don't want to carry your bags all over Bordeaux.
20 minutes (max.) walk to centre of town on flat walkways. Safe? This site is directly across from the police station.

Très bien
Un super accueil par des personnes jeunes et très sympathiques.
Chambre propre, lit confortable, très calme. Petit déjeuner varié et copieux.
Nous recommandons également le restaurant Les Décantés, le personnel tout aussi accueillant et des plats à partager à découvrir.
Hôtel bien situé proche d'une ligne de TRAM pour pouvoir se déplacer très facilement.
Nous conservons l'adresse pour nos prochains séjours à Bordeaux.
