Short stay pleasant hotel
We stayed at the hotel twice (2 separate nights) for the purpose of being near the airport. It was value for money, clean and quiet. Easy to get into the city centre by the nearby tram. We also ate lunch at the steak restaurant next door which was pleasant.

Staff really friendly/helpful. Outside pool nice. Easy parking and good location for Bordeaux tram system.
Public areas of hotel clean and tidy. Only downside, while room was clean it could have done with a bit of a refurb.

The hotel is to the North of Bordeaux city centre. It is few minutes walk to a tram stop for the C Tram line and a 20-25 min tram line into the city.
The hotel pool is good with some sunbeds, and it’s open 11am-9pm with the hotel providing pool towels for free use.
The bedroom on 6th floor look to have been recently refurbished and was comfortable.
The hotel was let down by having not many staff to cover the bar during the day and reception. The breakfast buffet was basic, but there was staff replenishing regularly what was on offer. It was fine.

Needs revamp
Spacious family room in business district outside of town
Hotel was a bit run down, seemed to have works going on. Decor need a revamp as bits were dirty and coming apart. Lobby toilet was not nice and had not been cleaned. One of the lifts was broken, the other very slow and not really worth using unless you needed to.

We booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children and it was huge. price and quality was good. The pool is good and big.
The dinner was delicious and enough choice. The same applies for the breakfast. The service at the restaurant was not as good as the food. They were not very interested, gave us menu in French instead of English or asking us if we wanted the English one and not all employees spoke English.
Hotel needs some remodeling as it is old from the inside (dirty carpets, old paint, etc);
For one night i would recomend.

Dirty place and old, stinky too . They gave me an old room and I complained it wasn’t what I had seen in the website so they move me to a different floor with a new bedroom but still smell like 💩. Don’t book it at this location if you are smart . The ladies managers are very rude -no education .
