The hotel is to the North of Bordeaux city centre. It is few minutes walk to a tram stop for the C Tram line and a 20-25 min tram line into the city.
The hotel pool is good with some sunbeds, and it’s open 11am-9pm with the hotel providing pool towels for free use.
The bedroom on 6th floor look to have been recently refurbished and was comfortable.
The hotel was let down by having not many staff to cover the bar during the day and reception. The breakfast buffet was basic, but there was staff replenishing regularly what was on offer. It was fine.

Dirty place and old, stinky too . They gave me an old room and I complained it wasn’t what I had seen in the website so they move me to a different floor with a new bedroom but still smell like 💩. Don’t book it at this location if you are smart . The ladies managers are very rude -no education .

We booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children and it was huge. price and quality was good. The pool is good and big.
The dinner was delicious and enough choice. The same applies for the breakfast. The service at the restaurant was not as good as the food. They were not very interested, gave us menu in French instead of English or asking us if we wanted the English one and not all employees spoke English.
Hotel needs some remodeling as it is old from the inside (dirty carpets, old paint, etc);
For one night i would recomend.
