8/10 Very good

Lobby is large and also with a working area. Behind check in counter is the bar for beer and soft drinks. Check in time is 1500 come early has to stay in lobby area. Only down side is room doesn’t have air conditioning and you have to open the window. Overall is clean and well maintained, already came back to second time.
Anderson, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall, the property was great and the people were fantastic. I would skip the breakfast for eight euros. You’re paying three times more for basic for coffee and croissants
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very high quality for the price

It is a bit far away from the train station, but easy to get there using a city bike (1 €). Excellent clean rooms and facilities, lots of safe storage available for your stuff. There are even curtaibs for your privacy on the bed.
Kurt Lukas Vincent, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were genuinely friendly, and the bed was very comfortable—complete with a privacy curtain that made it feel cosy and private. I appreciated the spacious storage setup: two lockers and a drawer provided plenty of room for my belongings. Despite being in a bunk bed, I didn’t notice any squeaking or movement when someone used the top bunk, which made for a restful experience. The blackout shutter on the window blocked out light completely, and the road outside was quiet at night—perfect for uninterrupted sleep. The only thing I’d suggest is adding one more bathroom and shower room, especially for busier periods. Location-wise, it’s not too far from Bordeaux city centre. I actually enjoyed the 40-minute walk into town—it was a pleasant way to start the day.
Hana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

All events for promotion in the elevator was old, the area was loud at night with screaming people and cars and it was difficult to find a good place for dinner. BTW the bed and stuff around the room was good

What I like : facilities What I don’t like : rude staff. Inconvenient Luggage storage. You need an automatic button for the storage so we don’t have to waste time looking for key when your staff are always playing hide and seek. Unlike other hotels, reception is always away from the desk. You need someone sitting there for hours.
