Bordeaux Wine Region Cheap Holidays

The property offered a nice bar with good happy hour and it was attached to a restaurant. Our room was nice and clean with good air conditioning. I’m not sure if it was because we had traveled so much by the time we reached Bordeaux, or for another reason, but Bordeaux seemed tired, expensive, and dreary. The area of the hotel is excellent because it’s only about 15 minutes walk to the shopping and museum areas. When we woke and looked for a small café in the morning, we realized many are not open until after 9 AM. This is French culture, but as travelers, we wanted caffeine earlier in the morning. We did find a few nice small bars in the area and enjoyed afternoon drinks. We appreciated the small bodegas that were close-by for water, fruit, and snacks. Parking was around the corner from the hotel. Parking was safe and priced fairly. The staff at the hotel described the parking as being “not attached to the hotel.” However, we found a route inside the parking ramp that was an easy route into the hotel -entering along the terrace adjacent to the hotel’s café and bar. Otherwise we would have difficulty carrying our bags into the hotel because at the front door, there are stairs leading to the lobby level. In May 2025 road outside the hotel was under construction. We speak basic French. (That helped a lot when checking in because in Bordeaux there are not as many fluent English speakers). The staff here were patient and helpful.

Lovely hotel outside of St. Emilion. The restaurant is exceptionally good; the staff are very attentive and will go out of their way to make the stay better. The hotel amenities are also good (a lovely pool). The downside is the limited shuttles in to St. Emilion - given the distance from St. Emilion these should be more regular.

When I forgot a valuable item at the hotel, the managers immediately stepped up, located the item and made sure it got to me before I boarded my flight. Thank you!

Good location, however aircon in the building is poor in all rooms. Restaurant was also only limited to Pizza only when I arrived

This hotel definitely had its own charm and unique decor. Front desk staff were very hospitable and helpful. Lounge area was good. Breakfast was good. Our hotel room was very nice, although a little awkward to get to within the hotel. Location was a 5-10 minute walk to a large area for restaurants, shopping and public transportation and then not much further to the riverfront area.

My stay at this property was a mixed bag. I had concerns about the cleanliness of the room, especially the bathroom. Most of the staff I encountered were helpful and professional. However, I encountered one older male staff member who was very rude and disrespectful. The breakfast offered by this property was very extensive and worth the cost.

Nice stay in Bordeaux, close to the center. In order to walk to the center, you cross a beautiful bridge (only for public transport, bikes and pedestrians). Also you can take a ferry in order to cross the river. Comfortable room with a big bed. Nice shower with good space. Very friendly staff. Petfriendly hotel! Parking is a bit dirty since during the day it is shared with a Carrefour shop and a Basic Fit gym. But during the night this parking is locked with a gate. Also, the parking is monitored through CCTV (hotel reception has live feed). This parking is better secured than others in the area where they are having lots of problems with breaking into cars and vandalism. For us this was a huge plus since we were travelling with a car loaded with luggage.
