Perfect location, spotless & tastefully decorated room with all the necessities and a large walk-in shower. We had our own balcony, where breakfast was served It's located in a cute & quiet street, close to the station and at a short walk from a pretty square. Would definitely stay again.
We came to eat last night at your magnificent establishment. First of all, the welcome is brilliant, the staff are young, cheerful, dynamic, attentive and very professional. The choice of sound environment at the bar is perfect.
For meals: the garden is very pleasant, you really don't feel like you're in the train station area. A haven of peace.
For the meal itself, the foie gras was delicious and plentiful. For the rest, the Saint Jacques were very good but a little tight in temperature. Just a little youthful peach for this quality establishment to which I would certainly return. Thank you to all the staff for your welcome and for this beautiful evening.
Note, the prices are quite correct for the quality of the establishment.
Excellent property and very convenient location for Bordeaux. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is very clean and has a great stylish decor.
Everybody at the hotel is super accomodating!. Our room on the 9th Floor was great and our little dog was welcomed which is a huge plus.
In regards to covid restrictions the hotel felt very sanitized with precautions in place without feeling clinical and over the top.
Breakfast was takeaway to your room with an amazing selection and very well thought out and efficient.
This is maybe our 5th or 6th stay and we will continue to choose this hotel when we visit Bordeaux.
My boyfriend and I (52 years old) have spent one night at this wonderful hidden place. Behind the discrete entrance a cosy living room and a sunny garden with a swimming pool opens up. We came late in the evening without booking and have been warm welcomed by the very friendly hosts. We have been offered beer and wine and got plenty of information about Bordeaux and recommendations for dinner. We could even borough the bikes at night and next morning which allows us to explore Bordeaux during our short stay. By the way a beautiful and lively old city. Our room was large with a balcony and individually furnished in an oriental style, located with view to the garden, though very silent. We had an unexpected fantastic time in Bordeaux, many thanks, hopefully we will see us again.
We spent 4 nights in the Royal room. We arrived at night on the fast train from Paris, and took a taxi to the house (we had luggage), which cost 10 Euros. Overall, the room was nicely furnished (it looks like in the photos, but no flowers in the "fireplace") and very clean. The bed was comfortable. The (rain) shower was great and the towel warmer definitely a nice touch, especially because the towels are not changed as they are in hotels. I am fine with that and certainly appreciate the environmental aspect, but it was misleading to have a sign on the sink saying that if you want fresh towels, to leave the used ones on the floor. I'm adding a photo of the sign.I also recognize that this is a guest house and not a hotel. But that means that if you want anything other than a shower gel and liquid soap, like conditioner, hand cream, solid soap, and other amenities that hotels provide, bring your own. Though the website said the room had a coffee maker, it did not, but I'm a tea drinker, anyway, and when I told Georges that an electric kettle would suffice, he bought a new one that day and put it in the room with some mugs and tea bags. (I wish I had told him on the first day!) It would be a nice addition to the guest house to have a tea/coffee corner. Georges was most accommodating about my dietary needs at breakfast and purchased some items special for me, which I really appreciate. Breakfast was nicely served, and quite satisfactory. One of the pleasant aspects is sharing a table with some of the other guests, so that you meet interesting people every day (we had different people each day, so some must have stayed just one night). The house is about a 15 minute walk to the station, which, without luggage, is quite comfortable, and since we made day trips on two of the days, worked out well. There are also a couple of bus lines pretty close and a tram line a few blocks away. The neighborhood is not very nice. There are many shuttered up stores, and some rather seedy looking establishments on that street. (I'll add some pictures.) Those that do open, other than some laundromats, are not likely places a tourist would want to go to. It is quite a run-down area. I don't think if I were a woman traveling alone I'd feel comfortable walking back at night to the house. Be aware that there is no sign indicating where the house is, other than the house number. Georges informed us of this in email only shortly before we arrived, and we didn't even get to see the message until after we arrived. Fortunately, he was looking out for our taxi (I had told him our estimated arrival time). Also, be aware that if you need to check in at night, there is an extra fee (20 Euros; we arrived at around 11:30 pm). The check-in hours are noted on the website. I don't know if there are any rooms that are wheelchair accessible - I only saw rooms that are up a flight of steps. Overall, I would recommend this guest house, but be aware of what to expect.
