Great location, so close to all local amenities. Staff were lovely.

Only thing that wasn’t great for us is that the hotel weren’t told we had our baby so we were on the third floor with no lift. Good exercise though!

Decent hotel

Hotel is in a great location, the only downfall was the strange layout of the bathroom, which required us to step up into a bathroom. I think it might have to do with some plumbing reconfiguration, but we had to be extremely mindful to not slip or fall down the stairs as the toilet was right on the edge. Location was great with lots of good hotels.

The property location was excellent, however the room smelled terrible. There could be a sewage issue in the building. We returned to our room after a morning walk to find Staff in our room prior to checkout removing bed linens & beginning cleanup for next guests. We had to request they leave so we could pack our belongings.

Not value for money

The location is very good. Bordeaux is an expensive destination for hotels. This hotel though cheaper is over priced. The room was extremely small, no drawer space, tiny ineffective hanging space. A dated but acceptable shower room. There has been no effort to make even a cheap upgrade of facilities in the room

A 2 star in a very central position

This hotel is very clean, simple, and in a central position, surrounded by expensive shops, yards away from tram line B. The staff, whilst being very friendly, and helpful, speak almost no English. The buffet, at E 8, extra, is sufficient. I think that it is pitched at provincial French, and businessmen, who just need a quick, inexpensive, overnight stay.
There is no lift, just a staircase which leads up to the first two floors, which, also, seems to double as the emergency exit.

Centrally located convenient hotel

as it is centrally located I could easily walk to many places, then come back, have a bit of nap then go out again. I took two different winery tours so the meeting point was always at the central touring information office, which was about 5 mins walk. It was great. Very convenient BUT the room was very small. My room had two single beds but I could not have any place to do push ups and crunches on the floor, it was that small. all in all, it was tidy and clean, simple, nothing special but had everything I needed, and great location so I could definitely use it again. If you don't expect anything fancy, then highly recommended.

Great Place to Stay!

This hotel is very clean and the location is great! It is in the middle of a big shopping area in downtown Bordeaux, but it is not near any loud restaurants or bars, so it is very quiet at night. The staff were patient with us because we didn't speak French and they only spoke some English; they were very helpful! Our room had two small beds and a nice clean bathroom. It was small by American standards, but average size for the French hotels I have stayed at. It had plenty of room for the two of us. The shower was tiny (big enough for me because I am small) but it was very clean, which I find more important. The breakfast costs 8 Euro and was WELL worth it! They gave us a good discount at a nearby parking lot for our rental car; something I was unsure of heading into Bordeaux with a car. The price was very reasonable for what you get here, great value!

Nice central hotel, but very noisy

The Hotel de France was in an excellent location, very close to the beautiful sights in the old quarter. As a result, however, it was very noisy. Since our room had no air conditioning, we had to keep the window open which let in all the noise. However, the room was very clean and the hotel staff were incredibly lovely and helpful. Overall, would recommend and return - but bring earplugs.

Essentials covered really well

A lovely little family run hotel. Twin room on the first floor which perfectly suited our needs, compact but with everything we required. If you want to spend lots of time in a hotel then this is not the place for you, but as a base where we went out and about from it was brilliant. Personally I don't think the breakfast is worth the €8 but it does set you up nicely for the day. There is a supermarket just round the corner which is perfect for picking up a packed lunch (we could see it out of our window). This is a great hotel if you are seeing Bordeaux on a budget and as long as you aren't expecting frills you won't be disappointed.

Simply French in a Great Location

In the center of Bordeaux by the Gambetta tram stop, this small French-style hotel is perfect for budget travelers who want a great location and small simple rooms. No elevator, so you'll be walking up steps frequently, but the couple that owns the place are very nice. The rooms are very small and clean. There aren't many hotels in this location and this is one of the least expensive, so good quality is pleasantly surprising.

Great location on the edge of the old quarter. Our room was very small, but adequate for a short stay. Wifi service was intermittent. Breakfast provided for an extra 8 euros per person - was ok - the croissants and fresh fruit were not very fresh for example. We were able to leave our luggage after checkout, which was appreciated. Short walk to Quincones tram B stop to Gare St Jean.

Very friendly, great location, no a/c

I had a very nice time here. The staff were all very friendly. However, I didn't realize that there was no air conditioning, and I had no fan in my room. Other rooms had fans, but I was not at the hotel during the day to ask for one. Most of the year, this wouldn't be a problem, but I was there during a heat wave, and my room was rather warm at night. I also expected wi-fi so that I could check my email, but that was not available either. I think they only had cable internet.

Abysmal

Our room was substandard quality for a cheap hostel. The room was filthy - I could scrape a line of black dust from our bed-light, the toilet had a shutter in place of a door which did not fully close (no privacy, not the kind of thing you want to share with your room-mate), the room stank of sewage after midday. We complained and were told that all rooms had the same toilet shutter/door, that they saw no problem with the cleanliness, and that the smell was 'just Bordeaux'. We cancelled our stay after one night. I would implore readers to avoid this hotel at all costs.

Hotel de France in Bordeaux, lovely area.

I had tried to change my plans & stay out of Bordeaux after reading poor reviews of this city, especially of dodgy people hanging around the stn. Glad I didn't! Don't stay near the station if you like nice surroundings & want to see the best of elegant old Bordeaux.! I was approached by a man when buying my tram ticket, I said \"Non, merci!\" to whatever he was offering me & pretended to know where I was going!!! Beware looking as tho you are using the machine for the first time! Line C Tram from stn to mid- city (Quinconces) is just outside the stn, with easy English ticket machine option. In poor weather, or if very tired, your ticket, valid for an hour, will take you even closer to the Hotel de France, on another tram, Line B from Quinconces, toward Place Gambetta. Alight at first stop along Cours de L'Intendence & walk 5 mins. Pedestrianised main streets, where walkers & joggers share with slow trams, are wide, busy & well lit at night. The wonderful Grand Theatre, set on a huge open square, is just 8 mins walk from this tiny hotel. Friendly staff even left the front door open for my late homecoming after the ballet. Voila! Perfect for 2 nights.

Great location!

Awesome location, close to all the main sights. Very clean room (though a little smelly) and our room was relatively quiet. The owners were totally lovely, spoke a little english and were so accommodating to our needs (my partner wanted to watch the grand prix and they were very helpful). Our only problems were the bed (extremely squeaky and not in good condition) and the extremely small bathroom (we are small people and whenever we had to use the toilet, our knees would bang the sink). However, these were all small things and in any case, we were rarely in the room and at this price and location, we could hardly complain. People may want to note that there are no elevators, which may be a problem if you have heavy luggage or cannot walk up many flights of stairs.

Great location

This was a nice hotel in a great location. Shower was good with hot water, room was clean. Only downfall is that you can hear people walking past your room but people don't spend too much time in the hallways so it's not too bad.

The staff were really helpful and suggested a nice non-touristy restaurant for dinner.

We would definitely stay here again.

Good hotel for impoverished hookers in need of decent sleep

Very convenient to airport shuttle (7 euros). Convenient to city centre. Room very quiet but small, window on blind wall which you could touch with your hand, impossible to close or open blinds entirely, dust, heating not working. State of cleanliness bad. Stains on walls. Paints and joints need to be redone. Old fixtures and fittings. Did not dare use pillow on bed and decided the pillow in the cupboard was probably cleaner with germs long dead through not being used. Toilet roll stained. No wifi. No lift. Breakfast was OK. For the same price, I would have been better in a big chain hotel. This hotel will do for one night on a business trip when absolutely exhausted and provided you're short-sighted enough to not see all the dust and old decrepit walls, tiles, carpet, and the blind wall within a foot of your window, with an ivy potted plant in the rain gutter. It did not rain that night, so I can't say whether you'd hear the rain in the gutter or roof touching the window. Filthy bottom of the view on the groundfloor. Thankfully I did not see any bugs. The room's only redeeming feature was the quiet - no noise during the night (though some in the morning). I have slept in cheaper and better hotels in France. I did not enjoy this hotel despite the fact I am used to sleeping fairly rough in developing countries where I have become an expert at chasing giant cockroaches.

Das Hotel liegt im Zentrum von Bordeaux, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind also leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir waren zu dritt, und unser Zimmer war für diese Gruppengröße gerade ausreichend. Badezimmer war sehr ok. Das WiFi funktionierte tadellos.

Das Frühstück haben wir nicht gebucht - daher kann ich dazu keine Angaben machen. Es gibt in der unmittelbaren Umgebung aber sehr viele Bars, in denen Kaffee und Croissant u.dgl. leicht verfügbar sind.

Unser Zimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage, weswegen wir die Fenster nachtsüber geöffnet hatten, was aber in den frühen Morgenstunden - wie zu erwarten - zu extremer Lärmbelästigung (Müllabfuhr usw.) führte. Der Ventilator tat sein bestes, aber es war einfach zu heiß, um bei geschlossenen Fenstern zu schlafen.

Das Hotel hat keinen Lift, aber der freundliche Angestellte an der Rezeption hat unsere Koffer in den zweiten Stock getragen.

Zu Parkmöglickeiten in der Nähe kann ich keine Aussagen machen, da wir nicht mit dem Auto angereist waren.

Fazit: Für ein paar Tage mitten in Bordeaux sehr ok!

Fungerar bra för en eller två över en helg

Litet och trivsamt hotell. Bra läge med gångavstånd till det mesta. Spårvagn inom en minut och flygplatsbuss alldeles inpå också.
Relativt tyst tvärgata till större promenadstråk.
Lyhört mellan rum och till korridoren. Sängen var något för kort. Hastigheten på wifi var inte bra. Ingen hiss, vilket kan vara problem med tungt bagage eller vanlig gång upp och ned två eller tre våningar.

RAS sur le séjour à l'hôtel. Mais....
j'ai réservé une chambre sur internet pour une seule personne et le site sélectionne automatiquement une
chambre double lit au lieu d'une chambre lit simple.
Résultat : j'ai payé 89 euros (double lit) au lieu de 74 euros (lit simple).
Je ferai plus attention la prochaine fois !
