Bordeaux Wine Region Pet-friendly Holidays

Very convenient for Airport as Tram 2 stops, and hotel stop just 100 meters walk. Easy check-in, Pool was handy as 34C when we stayed. Lifts good, Aircon worked (just)but controls a bit weird. Kitchenet was handy with pod coffee machine, fridge, microwave and hob, plus all the crockery you will need. A nice big room and bed, with blackout curtains. All in all, a very pleasant 5 nights, especially after hot days walking in the city and amazing waterfront. Though you need your wits, with some narrow pavements and poorly marked bike lanes. My wife lost a pair of prescription designer sunglasses, we thought in the city after a boozy (Margeaux for 40 Euro!) dinner in one of the wonderful alfresco squares (doom and gloom) The room cleaner found them, they sent email and posted them to us at cost postage fee DHL. So pleased as £££! to replace. Tram,(line A) buy a week one, bargain at 29 euro unlimited hop on off trips. We usually hire a car(saved £300 and hassle), but thought as Bordeaux is a cars not wanted city, let's give it a go. We really enjoyed it, though 40 mins into city and many stops, it was never that busy and no trouble and a nice change from driving, traveling with the locals and seeing the city go by.. Tram 2 Stops from hotel to a giant Carrefour and shopping Centre, a must visit, its vast, and amazing wine selection.

The bed was clean & comfortable, but that was the only good point. The bathroom didn't have any soap in the dispenser, the dispenser was not attached to the wall ,and an almost empty bag of soap was left on the window.

When arriving our taxi driver dropped us off two blocks away as that was as close as he could get. We managed but with heavy cases it was difficult. I didn't choose the breakfast option as I personally feel 21 euro a person is too expensive. We went to different cafes and spent much less. I loved the location as we were able to walk everywhere. My only complaint was there was no mini fridge. That was my fault for not checking more carefully. As we travel with insulin it is very important for us to have a fridge. We had to ask for ice every day. Overall it was a good stay, quiet, comfortable bed and pillows and helpful staff.

The parking was in a gated parking lot, so I guess that felt safe? And the location was very strange. There really wasn’t anything much within walking distance except for the lake and a couple of restaurants that we didn’t try. Super quiet place, comfortable bed, and a great place to stay if you wanna be in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle!
