Such a wonderful location, a quiet street and still an easy walk to everything. The room was lovely and the staff was very kind and helpful since we had extra time before check-in and a late train the following day. Will definitely be back!

Vacation in Bordeaux.

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel staff are excellent and willing to help make your stay more comfortable in any way they can. They provide maps of the area and also sell Tram passes at the front desk to make it easy to get around the city. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely stay here again.
