Staying at Le Palais Gallien was an absolute delight! I couldn't believe such a stunning hotel was tucked away right in the heart of Bordeaux.

This stay at Hotel des Quinconces was absolutely magical. We’ve visited countless luxury destinations and stayed in many top-tier properties, but this boutique gem truly stood out. The history of the building—once the U.S. Consulate during WWII—added a layer of intrigue that made the experience unforgettable. Every detail in the rooms exuded elegance and charm, from the fine furnishings to the thoughtful touches. The staff went above and beyond with warm, genuine hospitality. But what really elevated the trip was meeting the owner, Raphael. Sharing a glass of exceptional wine with him felt like chatting with an old friend. When we expressed interest in dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, he effortlessly arranged access to Mason Nuvelle—a decision we’ll remember forever. That meal surpassed even the legendary French Laundry in Napa Valley. Truly one of the most memorable culinary experiences of our lives. Thank you, Raphael, for making our Bordeaux journey extraordinary.
Staying at Hotel la Zoologie & Spa Bordeaux was an absolute delight. The room itself is incredibly comfortable, with a unique and artistic decor that immediately sets the tone for a memorable experience. The high ceilings add a sense of spaciousness and elegance, making the space feel airy and inviting. My favorite part was the window view—lush greenery swaying gently in the breeze, creating a peaceful, almost cinematic atmosphere each morning. The location is perfect: quiet yet close to everything, with easy access to public transit if you want to explore Bordeaux. The attention to detail, combined with the serene ambiance, makes this hotel stand out. I’d happily return in a heartbeat.
The hotel is fantastic — the room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is convenient, and the overall experience was excellent. The only minor downside was when we arrived and were asked to leave a €100 deposit per night. We hadn’t been informed about this in advance, especially since our booking had already been paid weeks earlier. We politely declined, pointing out that we’d never encountered such a requirement at any other hotel before. They confirmed it was optional, so we didn’t leave the deposit — but the surprise definitely caught us off guard. Despite that hiccup, the stay was still outstanding. Great value, warm hospitality, and a wonderful base for exploring Bordeaux. I’d definitely stay here again.
Staying at La Maison Odeia Bordeaux Centre was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was spacious and comfortably furnished, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the city. The bathroom stood out with its sleek, modern design—very stylish and well thought out.

I’d definitely return and recommend this gem to anyone visiting the area.
Staying at La Petite Annick was an unforgettable experience! The hotel is uniquely located on a beautifully restored barge right in the heart of Bordeaux, offering a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Everything was clean, well-maintained, and had that authentic vintage touch. The location is perfect—just steps away from restaurants, cafes, and the riverfront walkways.

Staying at Maison Manège Bordeaux Centre was an absolute delight! The apartment is located in a charming historic building with five or six units, giving it a genuine local vibe. We booked a spacious two-bedroom unit with a well-equipped living room, dining area, and kitchen—perfect for cooking and relaxing. While they offer a French breakfast, we found it just as easy to prepare our own meals thanks to a supermarket (Carrefour) just steps away. The location is unbeatable—within walking distance of all the city’s main attractions, making sightseeing, dining out, and exploring effortless. A quick tip: be sure to email the host a day in advance, as the front door uses a code lock and the key is stored in a small coded box near the entrance. Last-minute contact might not get an immediate response, so planning ahead saves hassle. Overall, this was a fantastic stay—great value, authentic atmosphere, and ideal for travelers who love independence and convenience.
Staying at Une Chambre Chez Dupont was a delightful surprise from the moment I walked in. The decor is absolutely stunning—artistic, unique, and full of character.

It’s also just steps away from a vibrant cluster of restaurants, so dinner options are endless. The bathroom is brand new, spotless, and well-designed with modern fixtures. Everything feels clean, thoughtfully curated, and incredibly welcoming. This place truly stands out for its charm, location, and attention to detail. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

It’s an excellent choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly, self-catering stay with a homely feel. Highly recommend for longer stays or travelers who value practicality and comfort.
