High-end hotel option in downtown Bordeaux
High-end hotel will good amenities in a convenient location to explore the city of Bordeaux and to escape to the wind regions. Great rooftop bar and jacuzzi. Spa is small but nice. Rooms are spacious. Bathrooms could be bigger but good. Not all rooms have great views. Good room service. Bed is comfortable but not great

Not as good as I had hoped
Amazing room however for the price I would expect to sleep. Worst sleep I have had which is the primary reason for a hotel. For the price I would expect not to be woken at all hours of the morning due to chairs scratching against the floor and objects being dropped in a room above me. Really really bad

Overpriced somewhat lacking premium Hotel
The hotel staff are very good. Unfortunately the hotel is not. In the last couple of years we have stayed in a number of hotels in this price point. We have felt they are a reward for hard work. This hotel was a great disappointment. Poor beds, poor pillows and not a great comfortable stay. Our view from our window was of what appeared to be squatters with trash, vacuum parts etc hanging out their window. The breakfast was better than Hotel Intercontinental Marseille but everything else was lacking. Highly overpriced but as is todays mantra, they did say they are sorry.

Tout était parfait ! Seul petit bémol : la douche ne tenait pas en position haute donc l’eau inondait la tablette de la baignoire..et puis la douche dans la baignoire, ce n’est jamais agréable.
Sinon le personnel était remarquable, surtout au petit déjeuner. Le petit déjeuner était d’un niveau largement au dessus de ce que l’on trouve en général en terme de qualité et de variété : il y a tout ! L’hôtel est idéalement placé face au grand théâtre. Excellent séjour !
