From: Howe Tony
Date of Stay: June, 2005
Very good is in excellent position but very difficult to find when arriving for the first time. Access as indicated on city map has now been closed off and pedestrionised. It was necessary to park in the vacinity and walk to the hotel to find out where to park.
 
From: Gayed Samir
Date of Stay: February, 2005
Property is located on a pedestrian street,on a pedestrian area,so the taxi could not drive me to the hotel and had to drop me and my luggage three blocks away while it was raining.Consumers should be given that information before booking.
 
From: Byrne-Price Paul
Date of Stay: July, 2004
Overall this hotel met our needs for a short term stay in Bordeaux. Our only criticism though not the hotel´s fault, was that a taxi picked up at the railway station was not able to take us to the hotel door, leaving us to drag heavy cases some distance through the centre of the town. The hotel though was able to arrange a taxi to the door for our departure.
 
From: Gibson John
Date of Stay: May, 2004
This hotel suffers from a lack of public facilities such as a comfortable bar area and a lounge. It was OK for a one night stopover but I would not like to stay for much longer.
 
From: fray sheila
Date of Stay: November, 2002
Small typical city accommodation, would have been straightforward to find except Bordeaux is being redeveloped,...all over! Many tortuous one way systems in operation, and will be for some forseeable future. Good choice of local restaurants in the immediate area.
