Great room size for a few nights in the heart of Bordeaux! We could walk out and have our pick of restaurants and shopping. The little terrace was a great addition too. Good size bathroom, and a lift to all floors!

This is a perfect location to visit Bordeaux, though you must not expect like staying at the Grand Hotel across the street. Centrally located, we drove it, parked our car in the garage and spent a wonderful evening walking about the beautiful town of Bordeaux, then fly out the next morning, what is not to like!. Merci!

Can’t expect much for a two star hotel but still, bathroom was dirty, free internet that doesn’t really work, physical keys with the codes to get in the building (if you lose them, the thief can go up to your room since they’re is no one at the door ever), not enough sockets to plug your phone. If it wasn’t for the fact that this place is in the absolute best part of town, I would absolutely discourage it. But it is! Wow! Location, location, location.

good location, but too expensive to the services
the hotel was ok , very primitive services for the price they charged . Staff was very friendly and helpful though location is very good , but again the services offered at the hotel or room is very limited to the price they charge.

You get a spartan little bedroom with enough room for only one person to walk around the foot of the bed--a closet space, a desk. Only cooling is a fan, Quite acceptable bathroom. The best part is the location, right next to lots of great eateries and the tourism office where lots of tours start.

Decent stay in the heart of Bordeaux
Hotel was decent for a couple of nights. The shower was miniature. We had booked a queen bed but they only have doubles. Staff was friendly. The location was excellent.therenwas no AC which I knew but there was a decent fan. Wi fi was fine but I had to log in every time which was annoying.

There is no better location in Bordeaux for the price. There is public underground parking across the street. The elevator adds a lot of value and convenience not often seen in these two star level hotels around Europe. Only thing to beware of is the season of your visit, as the rooms are not air conditioned.

Super hotel for a short break
Wonderful little hotel .... right in the heart of this beautiful city! Very clean hotel ... very efficient, friendly staff ... keys to be collected around the corner at their sister hotel ! Value for money ... considering Bordeaux city centre is rather expensive for accommodation. Would highly recommend for a budget hotel.

Basic Hotel - Great Location
This hotel is cheap and cheerful but located right in the heart of Bordeaux. The room is clean, but was very hot when I was there - no air conditioning and a window that opens only on to a lift shaft. The bed was comfortable enough, You have to check in at another hotel around the corner which is not very convenient. All in all, a basic hotel, but the location is so fabulous you don't mind!

Clean but drab and tiny
Great location was the main plus, the hotel was clean however very drab and tired. Very old bed and décor, there was an extra single bed in the room that made a very small room absolutely tiny. The shower/wc room was miniscule for larger people this would be a serious problem.

Easy access to transport
We booked this hotel for 5 nights total...3 then we left and returned for two nights before we left the US. Basic hotel but great location. One block from trams that connect the city. About 10 mins to the river Boardwalk and the BAT boats. About 15 mins to the Sunday market which should not be missed. Typically crowded room, teeny shower, thin towels and no washcloths. Good price for a room in that location

Bordeaux
Spent three nights at this hotel. You check in at the "Quatres Soeurs" around the corner as the actual Opera Hotel is around the corner. Pleasant staff. Horrible odor coming from the drains but upon my request for assistance the desk clerk came to our room, poured stuff down the drains and told us to let the water run. Milder odor the next day again so I requested the cleaning staff to do another treatment. The room was clean, but the shower was so small that a normal size person would need to go in sideways to avoid hitting the sink. Very hot weather and the third floor room still could not be cooled by a fan.

This hotel is in the perfect location for walking around Bordeaux. It is steps from popular shopping on Ste Catherine, the Opera, and a few blocks from the river. The location is definitely the drive behind staying at this hotel. The interior is slightly outdated with a very small shower. The staff were extremely friendly. We got extra lucky staying in Room 22, which overlooks the Opera House and a popular square. Would definitely recommend staying here. (picture from hotel window)

Disappointed
Great location and personnel was friendly. Room configuration was too small for a party of 3. No AC, a small fan that I needed to fix the housing, hairs stoked on the comforter, and a terrible smell coming from the bathroom. We only spent the nights there, since we spent more of the time touring areas near Bordeaux.

inexpensive and perfectly situated a good place
This hotel is two stars...therefore it is of course basic...the reception is helpful...the room has television but no aircon etc. The bed was very comfortable...and the towels are changed every day. The position of course is perfect.....right in the centre of the city...almost next to the tourist information office....about eighty metres from the tram system which covers the city inexpensively I would therefore recommend it for those reasons

Supreme location for visiting the historic center of Bordeaux. The room is fairly quiet, clean and serviceable, with no deluxe amenities. Perfect for a solo traveler or couple who is satisfied with basic accommodations, including free wi-fi.

Perfect place to stay when visiting Bordeaux.
The hotel was wonderful. The main reception was a bit hard to find as it is around the block. They had an elevator! The location was perfect and full of local restaurants and shops right outside the door. Perfect place to stay in Bordeaux.

Great location
Great little economy spot in Bordeaux. Easy to take the city bus from the airport to the old city center and find the tourist information booth and the hotel is located very close by. The check in is in the three sisters hotel and then go around the corner to find the entrance to the rooms. Very convenient to the tram and buses.
