I had such an incredible stay, I'm almost lost for words. The room was super comfortable with a great view. Staff were very friendly and accomodating as well. I will definitely stay at this hotel next time.

Hotel Konti by HappyCulture
The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. They had the option for breakfast, but you have to pay. We wanted to explore more, we decided to have breakfast somewhere else, the location was perfect to do that. Many restaurants to choose from.

Zenitude Hôtel - Résidences Bordeaux Aéroport
Il manquait du papier toilette et une descente de bain à notre arrivée. La porte de la salle de bains grincait un peu trop et ne fermait pas bien. Le support de la douche était cassé. C'est dommage car j'ai l'habitude de venir dans cet hôtel et les chambres precécentes étaient bien mieux!

Actually a great little place. Not much from the outside and a bit concerning walking to hotel but once you were there it was great. In hindsight I think it just looks a bit dodgy walking up but always felt very safe
