Location was excellent .. it was in a quiet street . It is a beautiful building. The staff were very helpful and very friendly.
The only thing which was not great was the bathroom.. it was very small and quite difficult to have a shower safely as you had to climb into the bathtub to do that .

Hotel was in a good location near the upscale pedestrian zone. The beds were good and the room generally comfortable if a bit on the small side with a cabinet like bathroom. Breakfast was nothing special. I would say overpriced but that's the way things are these days in France isn't cheap.

The location was good.
Room and facilities very small. Cocktail bar would not serve us drinks early Friday evening because of a private party. Very disappointing. Parking is also a major issue. We could not get access to the recommended car park so had to use an alternative car park which was actually closer to the hotel. Breakfast nothing special.

The location was fantastic, especially after our first attempt to get accommodation behind the railway station, which we had to abandon. The staff were very helpful. It was very quiet at night.
The view of the tiny courtyard was not good. The room was very small. The water, tea bags and biscuits were not replenished at all. Someone had a barking dog in a room a few doors down.

Beautiful historic hotel located in a quiet street of the Bordeaux city center. Room was also quiet. Bed was comfortable. Hotel personnel was friendly and efficient. Most city attractions are in walking distance or can be reached by a well functioning tram service.
The bathroom was rather small (I would recommend to the owners to knock down the wall between the toilet and the bathroom). Since guests are not allowed to keep the roomkey, there is a bit of time waste when entering or leaving the hotel but not a big inconvenience.

Let’s talk about a man named Bond. James Bond. No, that’s really what he calls himself! He can easily fix all your soiled clothes in twenty seconds as he can be the auteur of a masterpiece breakfast buffet. He is the secret weapon of this joint and he will leave you not shaken but STIRRED!
There isn’t one in every cool city on earth!

Location was great for the city and they were extremely helping with coordinating a taxi for us early in the AM to catch a train.
Room was quite small for what I was expecting. Bed wasn’t as comfortable. Shower didn’t include much besides a single body wash that I assume can also be used for a shampoo? Comfortable for the price but would have paid more had I known this was what I was getting.
