Fabulous one-night stay (June 2026). Really central location with easy walking distance to the city, and the local, underground parking - priceless for such a central location. Hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff exceptional. Really friendly and attentive and so interesting to hear about the family journey of the renovations. The room was lovely and breakfast was superb too. Definitely recommend - we will go back, without doubt.

Small hotel with just eight rooms in an 18th century building. My room was on the third floor - no elevator - not a concern for me but may be for others. Really enjoyed my stay. Within 15-30 minute walk of the center’s attractions. Excellent breakfast. Very warm hosts. Air conditioning was much appreciated during these very hot days at the end of June.

Some good, some not so good points. Firstly, the staff constantly had to call the owner for guidance…… Be careful of hidden extras. Tea and coffee, no illustration anywhere, but a bill on check out. Nowhere to get a glass of water, tea or coffee out of hours. 9pm to 7am. Old, grey bathroom towels, very tired and need replacing. Filthy stairs and hallway carpet. €15 each for 2 tiny chihuahua, not even a water bowl was available for them (thankfully we always carry our own). What is the fee for? Our dogs always have their own bed too. The atmosphere feels like money is always the issue. On the good side, very comfortable bed, good pillow. Nicely decorated. A BIG thank you to Margot the receptionist who was charming

Complimentary tea or coffee would be nice. Other hotels had coffee and tea in the room.

Villa Victor Louis is authentic in my opinion and I liked staying there however keep in mind that there’s no elevator and we got a room in the attic which is I believe 6th floor so it was a bit of stairs climb. However the room was very cute, the bed comfortable and I liked that windows could be fully open. The location is pretty convenient- it’s 5 min walk to the bus and 15 to the train. We took a train A from the airport and walked 15 min to the Villa. We were lucky to arrive before 9 pm because staff leave at 9 and I’m not sure what’s the arrangements for these arriving past that time. We haven’t had their breakfast - instead went out and tried different patisseries in the neighborhood. Overall our stay was good.

Although the property is very cool-architecturally, the inside needs some updating. Carpet is dirty and painting chipped. Stairs are narrow and steep with no lift, so bringing luggage up flights of stairs is a bit of a burden. The gals in lobby are sweet and nice, but limited on what they are able to do. Also, there is a 4 Euro charge for coffee or tea which was not communicated until checkout.

This is a great little hotel within easy walking distance of the town, downside is there is no parking close by. The hotel was also hard to find as there is only a very small sign by the front door which is hard to spot when in a car unless you are directly in front of it. The staff was very friendly and hlepful and the room was clean and had a very comfortable bed.

Beautiful, quirky five-star experience

We stayed at Villa Victor Louis as a family of three (12 yo child and two parents) and it was a fantastic experience. The building is phenomenal, and the staff are so great. The room itself was comfortable and spacious, as well as delightfully quirky. The location is also great, with all kinds of things just a few short blocks away. Breakfast is fairly so-so, don't get too excited about that, but it does the job and it's great to have the option not to have to go out and get it, and it's served in such a lovely space in the sunroom that mediocrity is forgotten.

I'd recommend Villa Victor Louis without hesitation and would absolutely stay there again.

The staff were super helpful and accommodating. The accommodation however was nothing like the photos pictured. We were led out the back of the main building into a little unit at the back of the property. If there were acurate photos of our room we would have stayed somewhere else! Dodgy door lock, toilet roll holder falling off the wall, missing shower door handle, dirty floors and unpleasant odour.
On a postive it was within walking distance to get out of the place.

I ended up not staying as the listing was totally misleading. The hotel claims to have parking, this is a 15 minute walk away and I purposely booked the hotel as I needed parking on side as I had lots of luggage.
Furthermore there was no restaurant and breakfast was only available after 8am. Overall very disappointing and I would like a refund. I am a very good customer of your website and I’m not happy.

Really charming hotel. It’s a beautiful old building lovingly restored and used as a hotel. There are no lifts so be careful if you are travelling with lots of luggage or struggle with stairs. The garden is a lovely addition but does need maintenance. The team were so helpful, couldn’t fault them.
We stayed in a suite which looked out onto the garden but even if it was street facing, it’s a very quiet side street (with some pay and display and a disabled space right outside).
We were within walking distance of some lovely restaurants and a reasonable walk from some of the features of Bordeaux.
A kettle would have been a lovely addition but otherwise we were very comfortable there. Really comfortable bed and pillows too!

First we were given a room on the 2nd ( usa 3rd) floor accessable by narow and very steep stairs, not elevator, which was not disclosed in property description. After ee refused that accimodation we were given a garden house, which was good option, as we had a lot of privacy. Ov course that cost more than standard room.
During our 2nd night all property was without electricity whole night and that was very unusual experience. Blackout lasted whole night. We were not given any explanation or excuses.
Location is 15 min walk to center of this beautiful city. After all i wouldn’t stay again at this property.

A True French Experience

Unique property with lots of character. It felt like a true French experience. Our room was on the lower level of the building which meant we had access to a small private patio and to the larger, public courtyard. We spoke with another guest who was staying in a private villa off the courtyard so there are a variety of rooms available.The convenience of the buffet breakfast made for an easy start to our day.
We had a car and while parking is available it is about a 10 minute walk in a very narrow underground facility.
The location of Villa Victor Louis made for easy access to restaurants, TBM stops, and shopping.

The staff were very professional and personable.

The Hotel was very disappointing! Got put in the worst room, in the roof! Extremely Hot! No Shower! No parking on-site despite stating they did! House keeping didn’t lock our doors after they cleaned so that anyone could just walk in! Very deceiving from the pictures! And worst of all the manager declined our upgrade even though there was other rooms available and we booked as VIP.
Expedia and this hotel have let us down and that needs to be rectified.

The staff are nice however the owner is horrible. A money grabbing person who kept our money for nearly two years, then issues a credit telling us that we have to use it by the end of 2921 otherwise we will lose £320. When we booked, prices had dropped and the hotel still owe us £65. The hotel refused to give us breakfast with this money and the option for it was not available so hotels.com are also responsible. For the price, it is a rip off. Do not stay here.

I had a great stay at Villa Victor Louis. Lovely, classic style, but not stuffy or too formal to feel at home.The staff was very helpful and quick to respond to my every need--whether a hot coffee or information about the city.
I've especially loved the place because of the beautiful garden--a great retreat in the center of Bordeaux--it's a little piece of paradise. The rooms are large and the bed is very comfortable with quality bedding. A fabulous, locally sourced breakfast is available. 1-5 min walk to so much and 5-8 min walk to the hyper-centre.

Very disappointing

It's a shame as this hotel has great potential but the service seriously let us down. We had problems throughout our stay - the lady at the reception agreed to book us a dinner reservation and she told us it was all set - failed to tell us it actually wasn't booked until we asked as we were leaving for the dinner. Then the bedding was not properly cleaned in the morning make-up service - still hairs on the bed - they only do a very basic, superficial clean. Don't expect them to clean/remove your used water glasses or empty the dustbins. She also had no recommendations for restaurants nearby. And don't bother paying extra €11 for the very basic breakfast, just go the Paul's nearby. Disappointing as we treated ourselves to the suite and were hoping for a smooth ride but got far less - It no way near deserves its current Hotels.com rating but under the right management and service, this could've been really lovely.

Charming Hotel

Such a beautiful little hotel that makes you feel a little like you are French aristocracy from the 1800s. Everything from the decor to the plates is charming. It is about a 15min walk to theater and other tourist sites of Bordeaux.

A gorgeous bordelaise Townhouse

We had no idea this was more like private home rather than a hotel. We arrived late (after 10pm) We received an email from them at 8:15pm that evening with instructions as to where to find the key which was easy to find. There is no elevator.
The classic room ‘Rosa’ on the 3rd floor was clean but very tiny for 2 people. I would not recommend it for two. Thankfully, they upgraded us to a ‘suite’ the next day, which was much nicer.
However, the decor and feel of the house was absolutely lovely. Breakfast was delicious and we had it in the beautiful garden which was idyllic with the sound of birds tweeting all around us.
Management is young. The girls are sweet and helpful but do not have a lot of experience or authority to make the usual decisions that come with responding to customer inquiries. This seems to be because of lack of training rather than inability. Still, they worked very hard at making the stay comfortable. Our sense was that they were afraid of running afoul of strict rules. So, when we asked for an extra ten minutes for checkout we were told we would be charged 20 Euros!
They also did not have much knowledge on restaurant recommendations.
The location is good however. Only about 10-15 mins to the main areas. The street is very quiet and could be a bit scary if walking alone at night for single women.
We would, however, happily return. It is a very charming and comfortable place.

Disappointed for the standard

Our experience overall was very disappointing. From the no pick at train station up to the minimal breakfast provided for the money to a broken toilet which was not going to be fixed for three days but after insisting, the poor receptioist had to fix it. We had to continually chase our laundry after leaving it with the staff all day. The service was beyond the standard we expected for a high class hotel and in this price range. Noise from street was evident each night. The bed was comfortable but would not stay again.

beautiful and comfortable

beautiful house and room. very quiet and tranquil. good bed.
room darkening not very good, so bring eye cover..
location is good and only a few minutes walk from the city center. there is a street with good restaurants near by (Rue du Palais Gallien)
there are many parking spots in the street for overnight parking, but if you have to park during the day, the hotel offers parking for 15 EUR for 24 hours in a garage 10 minutes walk from the hotel (not suitable for large cars). the normal price in that garage is 30 (!) EUR.
breakfast is good and served in a very pleasant room, but the staff is a little slow in organizing it (for example there was no set table when we arrived, even though they knew we should arrive. we had to ask for everything to be filled up etc.).
there are 2 pairs of bicycle for the guests, but their condition is not great.
would come back if I find good deal

18th century Style

The only reason I chose a Victor Luis villa was its style, elegant atmosphere and the authenticity of an 18th century. Though I could live in the Hilton for less money. So it's true that I got what I wanted. But out of the style the rest was quite disappointing. The breakfasts were very standard, the staff included young girls except one they seemed very unprofessional and unsafe. There is no public transport near the villa, it is about 20-25 minutes walk to the center of Bordeaux. You can reach Tram to Gambetta Square which is half way to the Villa. the girls in reception didn’t know to tell us this and reserved a taxi for us to reach our meeting near the gran theater . What I found most puzzling was that after 22:00, when the reception desk closes the lobby room is being locked too .... meaning that if I wanted to sit and read outside the room and not to disturb my husband with the light, it was not possible !! You have to take into account the inconvenience of luck of elevator, there are a lot of high stairs.

Not to mention the staff went well out of their way to help us with anything we needed and were so happy to help despite us being American and us not speaking a ton of French but they all had excellent English and were incredibly kind!

Very nice hotel in a renovated old house. Good room and bathroom, and a welcoming atmosphere. Staff was great and very kind!
It takes a bit more than I expected to get to the downtown walking but it is feasible. There is no much to do in the immediate area, most attractions (river, restaurants and so on) are a few blocks from there.
On the other hand, if you like to keep a sane distance from tourism noise, a great choice.

BORDEAUX HOLIDAY/VILLA VICTOR LOUIS

Very nice hotel with a homely feel. On arrival Helene made us feel very welcome and gave us great tips on what to see and do in Bordeaux. We were in a lovely clean and bright suite on the first floor and the room had a view of the garden. Air con is present with remote control and was quiet when in use. Safe for valuables and minibar fridge present. The toilet is separate from the bathroom which was not a problem. Hotel is located about 10 minutes walk to the centre of town. Very quite location. We were given a map and instruction from Helene which helped. After a couple of days we experimented with different routes. Eating out is easy as there are plenty of Restaurants in the city.

Dishonest encounter

We have checked in and asked for a late check out but was told the hotel is fully booked and the rooms need to be cleaned and ready for the next guests by 2pm the next day. Hence, we have checked out at 12pm the next day and left our luggage at the hotel and returned to collect it at 6pm (flight at 9pm)

We have realised that we have left a pyjamas of my daughter when we reached home. Therefore, I've contacted the hotel and asked why did the hotel did not pass the pyjamas to us (to post costs EUR24) when we returned to collect the luggage at 6pm but was then being told that the room has not been cleaned by then at 6pm!!!

I believe either one of the statement they have made must be true!

This was a charming boutique hotel with absolutely exceptional staff, especially Louise. She went out of her way in giving us multiple recommendations for dinner, lunch, etc. on the map and also called and made reservations for us. Nothing was too much trouble- she even came in during breakfast to show me how to use the coffee machine. Our room was beautifully decorated, very comfortable bed and pillows and everything was spotlessly clean. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we come to Bordeaux.

Beautifully Restored 17th Century Mansion!

It took 5 years to restore this 17th century mansion...and worth the wait!!

I stay in hotels 3 to 4 months per year-and this one is a hidden gem! The mansion is beautifully restored, ALL of the hotel personnel were genuinely helpful and attentive. Their restaurant recommendations were outstanding an not the usual tourist traps. The rooms had hand made (yes really!) oriental carpets and location within walking distance of everywhere. I wanted to stay for more than the week that we were there..,alas, we will be back!

Room cleanliness was disappointing due to 1 aspect but was very quickly resolved and compensated for by staff.

The hotel was recently renovated and our room was lovely. We had a king sized bed, mini-kitchen, and modern bathroom. It also included a small terrace outside the bedroom and an entrance to the garden behind the hotel. The staff were very friendly and breakfast delicious - coffee, pastry, eggs, fruit, freshly-squeezed fruit juice - overlooking the garden. The only negatives are the difficulty getting there during work on streets in Bordeaux. Take a taxi! Parking is also problematic, but staff gave us excellent instructions. A real gem of downtown Bordeaux!

Charming small hotel with excellent value

Vilal Victor Louis is a charming 9-room hotel with spacious and beautiful rooms, a wonderfully sunny tiled room for breakfast and private garden. We found the location in Bordeaux ideal, on a gorgeous residential street in the center of the city but hidden from the heavily trafficked tourist areas. Just a 5 minute walk from the iconic hotels in Bordeaux saves you the headache of crowds. The staff was very pleasant and helpful! Overall a great value

This was a great small hotel in a very good location. Slightly off main diwntwon area but very easy to access lots of points of interest by foot. The staff were very friendly and helpful. That’s the benefit of a smallwr hotel. The breakfast at 12 euros per person was actually quite good value. It was wuiet and leisurely. If you only have a couplw of days, I would recommend a breakfast at the hotel and one in one od the many outdoor cafes to experience the lively community experience. I would gladly recommend the hotel and would go back again.

Just OK

We stayed in the attic room which is small and cramped, only a hand held shower over a bath tub. I am sure the suites a nicer but would not recommend the attic room for the price. No water provided in the room. AC didn't work. The cleaner left the bathroom window open and room became infested with a mosquitos which led for 2 nights uncomfortable sleep. Good location and nice breakfast (although you pay extra for it). I think there must be better for the money.

Amazing Bordeaux mansion

At first it was difficult to find the villa, cause all streets in old town Bordeaux are one way and very narrow. The villa doesn’t have a big sign or neon lights, but it’s the only one which has a street lamp. Staff are very nice and willing to help. The reception hall and the beauty of the garden gave us a glance how wealthy people used to live in Bordeaux. All amenities are in good condition. Quiet and warm. Close to scenic interests and public transportation. Highly recommended.
