Pros: The bed was comfortable and the room was clean but we were not told that this is a training facility for hospitality students. With that in mind you might expect higher than average service? No, just swarms of students in front of the building and rushing down hallways to make classes, posters on walls and doors re: curriculum and advertising careers. Although the staff at reception were polite and accommodating, It was an unexpected experience.

Pros: A lovely hotel, close to the Cite Du Vin and the river walk / Bacalan area of Bordeaux. The hotel is aligned with the local teaching college for the hospitality industry. As a consequence, the front of house staff and people we dealt with were young, from different countries and very enthusiastic. Just delightful and very hospitable. The room was very comfortable. A lovely bathroom, with generous proportions. A comfortable bed. Very well priced. We visited in August, so a lot of local restaurants were closed. The front of house staff gave us a very good recommendation, for a local restaurant, that was open, near by.

Cons: Even though breakfast was included in the price, the hotel do not prepare breakfast picnic bags for the early leavers. That would be a great improvement for the establishment. Also the booking webpage says booking a spot in the parking is not possible/necessary but in reality you need to do that in advance. I finally parked outside.

Around the hotel, there was no supermarket nor bending machine where I could buy water. The only way to buy water was to ask a staff in the bar of the hotel. A little inconvenient. It was nice if I could buy pet bottles in the hotel.

7,9 Good
Pros: We have visited before & had a family room it was perfect
Cons: We booked last October for our July ‘19 trip in the family room, we didn’t get a family room, they only had a double available! I wasn’t happy, the Hotel did sort out another double room free of charge but we didn’t have interconnecting rooms so my husband & I had to separate with the children, not the best start to the holiday. When I was checking out, the hotel tried to charge us taxes, I showed them the booking.com paperwork which clearly stated taxes were included, they also tried to charge us for breakfast, I again had to show them the booking.com info which again clearly stated that I’d paid for B&B. I was disappointed with this trip, stayed elsewhere on the way back which was much better.
7,5 Good
Pros: The pool and the good Breakfast.
Cons: The second bad was uncomfortable.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: Clean comfortable room, nice food and good selection of drinks
Cons: Bit expensive and cardboard cups (only one) supplied to make a hot drink in your room, bit tacky and cheap
9,6 Excellent
Pros: This hotel is perfect if you are flying in or out of Bordeaux. The staff are very friendly especially the gentleman on reception. The bedroom was lovely, beds extremly comfortable and the shower gel is to die for... NUXE- with honey. The pool area is lovely and very clean, we loved it so much we booked in again for the night before we flew home.
Cons: The plastic pool chairs were not very strong, because they had been worn by the very hot sun...if you werent lucky enough to get a bed...I spent the whole time thinking I was going to end up on the pool tiles!

Pros: Location good for travellers stopping off on their journey not wanting to go into the city. Staff friendly. Food very good.

Pros: Good out of town location very close to tram into town. Friendly an efficient front desk.
Cons: Room was small for 3 people and very noisy, walls paper thin meaning you can hear doors shutting and people in corridor. I’d expect this in any hotel and have stayed in many, however this was on a different level. Towels smelt strongly of chemicals. Accept the hotel at a price point however have definitely stayed st much better hotels in this price point.

Luckily I had the chance to have a night receptionist lady who helped me changing the room. No lift, no safety box nor fridge .. for that >400 euros for 3 nights was way too expensive.

Pros: Breakfast was fine and room was light and airy
Cons: Bed bugs! When we mentioned this to the reception when we were leaving we were told that due to the proximity to the lake the bites where from mosquitoes. They were not, they were from bed bugs. We have photos of the bites and have experienced many a mosquito bite over our lives and also the odd bed bug bite, these were bed bugs. The staff were not interested and spoke to us as though they were in an episode of Poirot - “oh no sir and Madame, you’ll find your mistaken.” We were not looking for money off and did pay the full amount for the one night stay.... but we shouldn’t have. We will be pursuing this further once our holiday has finished.

Cons: When we arrived we wasn’t told there is no hot water. Find out when we try to make a shower after driving from UK. Two family with 3 kids and no hot water when outside was 35 degrees!! Ok hotel give us discounts and free breakfast for that. But another problem was when they secure money on my debit card few days before we arrived. Paid on hotel with credit card but money was still secured on debit one. Try to text them no response. Ring them but nobody speak English. After 10 days from the day we left hotel my bank give me money back. I will not recommend this hotel to anybody. 3 years ago we stayed in other hotel in Bordeaux and don’t have any problem like this.

The staff spoke English and most of the time they were there when you needed them. The room where we stayed was on a small side, but it was clean and so were towels and bed linen. There is free parking in front of the hotel so it's good for people traveling by car.
Cons: - The location... When we were first riding an Uber to the hotel, we were wondering if we were still in Bordeaux or maybe we drifted away somewhere else :) It's literally located in the fields among Ashans, Leroy Merlins, big truck parking and construction sites. Getting there is not fun if what you initially planned was to taste wine and do sightseeing. - The bathroom was so tiny you could hardly take a shower because there was no room to bend or turn (and I am slim). - The front door was locked when we came late once and there was no one at the reception to let us in. Fortunately, a guest smoking outside told us the code we could use to get inside. - The view from the window: a PIPE. And some trash cans. Bearable, but again - for one night only.
