Right in the heart of Bordeaux. Metro Stations nearby. Lots of stores, restaurants, sightseeing by walking. The kind of stay you need if you only need to sleep in a quiet,safe,clean,well managed,and low cost hotel. Solo traveler here.

A modest, clean and centrally located well run youth hostel. The plaza just in front seems to attract some weird people. Do not mind this, they are doing their thing and din’t bother anyone. Very close to tons of shops and restaurants. Beds were confortable, temperature was fine. It may be a bit difficult for some folks to get into the top bunks. Lobby area was welcoming and comfortable. Showers were ok, good warm water with decent pressure. I would recommend for a solo trip b

Overall, I had a very nice stay. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The hostel is, as its name suggests, very central and easy to reach from the train station. The rooms, bathrooms, and showers were clean, though the first night, the bathroom on my floor was out of order, and the women's showers lacked hooks for hanging clothing and towels. It appeared that they were doing work on those spaces, so it may not be an issue in the future. The other people in my rooms (a mixed sex room the first night and an all-women room for the four following nights) were very nice and considerate. I would recommend Central Hostel as a pleasant and budget-conscious way to visit Bordeaux.

Huge private top floor room with a view

We stayed in 401 which is a very large private room. We lived everything about the room and the stay. The hostel is perfectly located for walking to all the old town sites. We’ll stay again.

We had a great stay in a family room. When we closed the window it was completely quiet with no noise getting in from the square. Staff were very helpful. The breakfast option was excellent. The location was perfect for walking about the beautiful city. Highly recommend.

Location location location! I loved my stay at the Central Hostel. The staff were super nice and helpful and the location is truly central and very walkable. I stayed in a 8 bed mixed dorm for the first time and the blackout blinds were a gamechanger for me. Other than a microwave there's no kitchen but there're an Aldi and Carrefour nearby which is super helpful. The washrooms and the showers weren't the cleanest and it didn't feel like they were being cleaned daily but it's a hostel after all. If I'd ever go back to Bordeaux, I'll definitely stay here but would book a female dorm instead. Merciii :>

Decent stay but lacks aktivities and cleanness

I was a bit disappointed with my stay at this hostel. The location was very good, and the room was nice with very private bunkbeds that each had its own curtain. That made you feel like you had your own little space. However, there were no activities during my stat, and there was generally not a hostel “vibe” where you felt it was natural to speak to others. The bar-area in the reception was alright, but each person just sat by themself. For me, that was quite disappointing. Furthermore, in the room, there were some very weird-looking dark spots in the ceiling that definitely looked like some kind of mould. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures, but it was definitely a bit concerning. Other than that, the room was clean and the bed felt very nice as well.

Cute, clean, centrally located hostel!

Amazing hostel! Cute, clean and perfectly located on StCatherine street (longest pedestrian only street!! Lots of shopping!). All the facilities were in great condition and updated. As a solo traveler it could have been a little bit more socially oriented, but that is being super picky! Would recommend!

Unfortunately, the hostel does not have control of its surroundings. At the time of my stay, there were some unhoused people with dogs. And at night they would bark. ( the dogs not the people ) But in no insistence did I feel unsafe. The area is very centrical and walking distance to most attraction. Highly recommend.

location is brilliant in the centre of Bordeaux. However, i went expecting breakfast as advertised only to be told they did not serve food. They need to change their ads about the hostel. However, excellent cafe just round the corner. They also need to be more communicative about tourism, and where the tourist bureau is, as they themselves were not able to answer my questions. Staff good natured however.
