Amazing location with very helpful staff! This beautiful hotel is small, but has so much character. It was easy to find and it was just what we needed. The rooms aren't particularly big and there is no lift, so if you travel with lots of baggage, probably not a good idea. If however, like us, you want a place to... More

A very charming little typically French hotel in classical style, clean and comfortable with great power shower and good quality liquid soap for hair and body in dispensers in shower and at basin. Internet is a killer as there is no WiFi. You need to request THE adsl cable in advance or risk another guest hogging it for the night.... More

My companion and I have just returned from a 5 day wine exploration trip to St Emilion and our trip organiser had practically booked the entire place for our group. the place is very clean and air conditioned, room size adequate to large for the type and sufficiently furnished with vintage furniture - wardrobe a bit small by modern standards....

The location can't be beat, the staff are very friendly and couldn't be more accommodating. We don't speak french but we were able to get our point across. our room was relatively quiet and clean however, the bathroom is VERY small and there is no elevator. you get what you pay for and we really couldn't complain.

The Hotel is very well located. It is a not a Hotel to go with kids. No elevator, no space at all for the pushchair and they don't have any cradle. The pictures of the website are much better than reality! The Hotel is quite old and is in need of refubisement. However, I must say that the owner is... More

This is definitely a two stars hotel for ... a hefty price! Yes, the hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of the city but ... boy! The rooms are small and old; the bathroom is tiny (you can barely sit on the toilet seat) and you quickly feel claustrophobic. Service is kind but ... they really don't have... More

Fantastic staff - exceedingly friendly and helpful (although not much English spoken) Great location - in the heart of town within easy walking distance of everything you'll want to visit - especially the L'office de tourisme and the shops! Be wary of the parking charges though if you have a car (19E per day for Les Grande Hommes, the nearest... More

Hotel de France in Bordeaux is a simple family run hotel in a great neighborhood. It is no frills, but very clean and well appointed. The best is the service. Some rooms have very tiny bathrooms, so if that poses a problem, tell them when making your reservation. There is no AC (and it is rarely needed), so Thursday through... More

We stayed here for our final 3 nights in France, and it's location was very convenient for reaching many of the local sights. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was very courteous. They gave us some excellent suggestions for restaurants in the area, as well as a shortcut to a winery we planned to visit. More

The hotel is situated in a great central location, and is sign posted from the Gambetta. It is only a short walk from the 'jet shuttle bus' and also also has a tram stop only a short walk away. The Hotel itself does not have a lift and does have steep stairs, but there are 2 dog legs on the... More
