Gare Saint-Jean

The area around Bordeaux Gare Saint-Jean might not be the most attractive part of the city, but it is a convenient place, if one travels by train or uses the Express bus to the airport. In any case there are plenty of restaurants in the area and there are frequent trams from here to the city center (we got return tickets by tram from the hotel, which are included in the price of a superior room, just like the free use of the minibar). The hotel is all modern inside, but located in a typical Bordeaux 18th century building. With the friendly staff at reception check-in is easy. Downstairs are also a dining hall, where breakfast gets served between 7-10.30am with a quite rich choice at the buffet, even with 'canelés de Bordeaux' as well as scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon. The rooms, also the superior rooms, are really small, but we soon found out that everything is so cleverly arranged that we still managed to store all our belongings. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night, so we had a good sleep. All works well in the bathroom with toiletries by the French company Algotherm. There is also a narrow balcony with no seating. Bottled water was offered daily in the room, not just at the beginning as elsewhere. It was all in all a pleasant stay here.

Great location in town. Parking close by. Walkable to stores, restaurants, attractions. Staff very pleasant and helpful with directions as well as things of interest in the city. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Would gladly return.

Réservation par téléphone avec une personne très à l’écoute de nos besoins. A notre arrivée, un accueil chaleureux et souriant. Les chambres étaient impeccable. Le petit déjeuner copieux et avec de nombreux produits fait maison !!

Next (about 1 minute of walk) to Bordeaux Saint-Jean train station, close to two the tramway lines, within walking distance from the city center. Nice warm welcoming staff. Breakfast there is generous.

A few metres from Gare St Jean, this is an excellent hotel Staff very welcoming and helpful, all with excellent English ( a plus for us !). Room was nicely furnished and compact. Comfortable bed. Quiet a/c which was important as there is a fair amount of traffic noise that required closed windows. Breakfast, included in our rate, was excellent. Food is available all day although we had only breakfast. Nearby restaurants exceeded expectations. Would stay here again without question

Cet hôtel que j'ai fréquenté de nombreuses années est toujours aussi agréable tant par son personnel que son cadre de qualité. Il est dans un bâtiment historique ce qui lui donne encore plus de charme. L'accueil par du personnel attentif et ses cannelés offerts donne encore plus une touche de bienvenue.
