Positive Reviews
positive:
Convenient parking areas.
The property's parking lot is directly beneath the building, making it possible to arrive and easily reach the lobby using the nearby elevator, regardless of how much luggage you're bringing. Most small and mid-sized vehicles will be able to access the lot without difficulty.
positive:
Small yet considerate touches.
Upon reaching your room, you'll find a number of charming amenities available to you, including earplugs and a variety of skin care products in the bathroom. These touches are a reflection of the hotel's generally welcoming and hospitable attitude.
positive:
A prime location in Bordeaux.
The city's top cafes, restaurants, markets, and wine bars are just a short walk or metro ride from the property, and many of the region's historical landmarks are similarly close. Bordeaux's famous wine regions surround the city, and are easily accessible by train.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Obnoxious noises across the premises.
The rooms bordering the central elevator are frequently disrupted by the noise of the mechanisms, while rooms along the hotel's outer perimeter are exposed to traffic noise. The provided earplugs are a functional aid, but don't completely solve the issue.
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi reception in some areas.
If you're located near the lobby area, you're in luck: the Wi-Fi signal gets weaker and slower as rooms move further from the downstairs reception desk. If you're on an upper floor, you may want to consider mobile data or wired access.
negative:
Limited air-conditioning access.
The hotel has stringent rules regarding the use of its air-conditioning fixtures, and you may not even be allowed to turn your unit on, depending on the season. Numerous guests noted that their units were not properly maintained, and filled their rooms with stale air.
