Absolutely perfect stay! The hotel is literally right across from the train station and just a short walk from the airport bus stop—making travel without a car incredibly smooth. While the rooms aren’t as plush as a major international chain, they’re charming, authentic, and spotlessly clean. Everything in the room worked perfectly, the temperature was just right, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, well-prepared, and definitely worth the small fee. The staff were incredibly helpful: they gave great tips for a day trip to Dune du Pilat, showed me how to walk into the city center’s restaurant district, and even handed me a detailed city map. I also appreciated the left luggage service after check-out—perfect for exploring the city during the day. One note: the train station is huge, so if you’re coming out of a specific exit, the hotel is just to the left of the main entrance area—only a few meters away. Easy to find, super convenient.

Ibis Budget Bordeaux Centre Mériadeck
Excellent value for money with a great location just a short walk from the city center. The room was compact but perfectly adequate for a good night's sleep—clean, quiet, and well-maintained. One small downside: only two fixed hangers were provided, which made hanging clothes a bit tight if you're traveling with more than a few items. A little extra storage space or additional hangers would have made a big difference. Overall, though, this is a fantastic choice for budget-conscious travelers who want comfort and convenience without breaking the bank. I’d definitely stay here again.

Prices are very reasonable for what you get, making it an excellent value. Everything from the welcoming staff to the quiet ambiance made my stay enjoyable. I’d definitely book here again if I return to Bordeaux—highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort without breaking the bank.

Brit Hotel Des Grands Hommes - Bordeaux Centre
Located right in the heart of Bordeaux, this hotel offers a perfect blend of convenience and charm. While it's in a quiet street just steps from the city center, don't expect a bathroom the size of a ballroom—especially in an older building with character. That said, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the location makes exploring the city effortless. The real highlight? Breakfast: homemade crepes (with a subtle Breton flair), fresh pastries, and other handmade treats—all for just €9. It’s unbeatable value and truly memorable. For travelers seeking a central, authentic French stay without overspending, this is an excellent choice. A top pick in a fantastic neighborhood.
