Lachaise Holidays

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.

Such a unique hotel in the old Faculty of Sciences building for Zoology and Geology. We had a comfort room which had a gorgeous free-standing bath in the room itself and a powerful shower and separate basin area (this is glass screened and so you should be comfortable with your room buddy!) There's lovely little nods to its history with animals on the curtains and different flora / fauna on the tiling. Separate bathroom. The spa on the basement level has a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna which you can make use of between 8am and 11am and 8pm and 10pm without booking. Comfy robes and slippers were provided in the room. WiFI is good and work space in the room was handy for our day working. It's well-situated a short walk from the St Jean station and ~10 mins the other direction into the main town (really enjoyed nearby Marche des Capuchins for breakfast/lunch options). We didn't have the breakfast in the hotel itself as preferred to explore. Really friendly staff and we paid €40 for a 4pm check-out on our last day.

The staff were extremely helpful and courteous, and the hotel was conveniently located in the central part of town. The restaurant recommendations from the staff were spot on.

The best location in Bordeaux!

Great location, reasonable rates, almost 2 hundred years old but still very functional. Walk to everything from here.
