Guest Ratings & Reviews
After a busy day exploring Bordeaux, the hotel's proximity to the pool and easy exit route was convenient, despite some noise from the road outside. However, considering the price of over £250 per night, I expected a quieter room.
The hotel stands out with exceptional rooms in the main building, beautiful, clean, and well-appointed, very close to the pool and convenient route to exit. The service was wonderful, with friendly staff always available and professional assistance from Helene, Audrey, Lucas, and Jules. The location was central, lovely overlooking the pool, and perfect for jogging near the park. The dining experience offered amazing options but could improve with more alternative choices. A delightful breakfast rounded up the stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were really nice, equipped with air conditioning and even a private hot tub, which was a great bonus especially during the summer. The quality of the rooms was top-notch, and the overall experience was fantastic.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a private hot tub and of excellent quality, although a bit noisy at times. The service was top-notch, with incredibly welcoming and helpful staff who even left a sweet welcome note in the room. The location was perfect, within walking distance of everything I wanted to see in Bordeaux. The dining experience had some delicious options but lacked variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is situated slightly outside the center of Bordeaux, making it a quiet and convenient location. The rooms were clean, tidy, and nothing out of place, although a bit noisy due to the road. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was of high quality, although not as lavish as expected. Overall, a good value for money choice.
