ibis Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck
Excellent staff at reception. Rooms fine. Very convenient. Service staff using the guest lifts before check-out time causes a log jam with very long waits , but besides that, all good.

Radisson Blu Bordeaux
We had a lovely stay, beautiful spacious and spotless bedroom. Breakfast was very good, however the staff were very very prompt in closing down the service, switching of the lights while we were still finishing our breakfast. Only 1 person at the front desk spoke any English. But definitely recommend ...
