Small hotel, great friendly service with a good breakfast. Small hotel in the middle of Bordeaux, walking distance from all. They arranged a daily taxi for us as being in that part of the city, It is hard to get an uber. Would definitely stay agian.

Excellent location, service and rooms!
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent room, clean, safe area. Lobby bar has cool vibe. Hotel is in excellent location with plenty of restaurants & shopping close by. The streets of Bordeaux are very small, many closed off to traffic. Local building are very old but well kept. I felt safe and people & families were walking about. Taxi to train station was on $6.50.
