Hotels near Chocolaterie Bordeaux Maison Darricau depuis 1915 in Bordeaux

Did an overnight stop in Bordeaux enroute to Biarritz , booked a bunk room it was really good comfy bed in 6 bed female dorm . As ever room mates were cosmopolitan . lovely outside area with live music , food was fresh staff friendly good choice at breakfast included .

I paid £38 for a night through a third party website. The room was small but comfortable. The tv was extremely small. The bathroom could use a renovation admit is slightly dated. However, the location of the hotel is perfect and the sound proofing was good enough. I would come again.

After cycling for 3 months across France FirstName was an absolute pleasure to spend our last days recovering and as a base to see the city. Our room was spectacular, the bed was an absolute delight to sleep in and the bathroom and wardrobe storage were magnificent. The heated mirrors in the bathroom were a real touch of class that we welcomed. Breakfast and dinners were top-notch, we just loved everything the hotel had to offer. Check-in staff worked well above any expectations we may have had. They helped us when we had bicycle transport issues and when I cut my finger they worked tirelessly with arranging for the correct hospital and transport. They all communicated with each other and the various shifts seamlessly. The staff in the restaurant area along with the chef were also outstanding and super helpful.

I tried to like this place, but it let itself down in lots of areas. Good: Mostly friendly and helpful staff. Attempt at contemporary design. Fairly centrally located. Bad: Hotel carpark full and hard to drive around park public one nearby. Fire alarm at midnight - false alarm. Coffee undrinkable at breakfast, and unhelpful staff member who couldn’t find cold milk for coffee - didn’t seem to care what I wanted. Rest of food at breakfast not very tasty or appealing - old congealed scrambled egg. Poor tasting bacon. Crowded breakfast room. Noisy bar. It’s attempt at style looses lots of comfort. Room clean but shabby - peeling paint. No sockets for phones next to bed. Noisy hardly working air conditioning unit, in room for some reason on the floor. Noisy street noise if you open a window. Lifts often too busy to get, and so found I often had to walk down stairs. Cheapish, but not good value. There must be better options. Avoiding Ibis hotels now. There is a budget option next door, and I hate to think what you get there.

Firstly I don't normally submit reviews. I think everyone's experience is subjective based on where you've travelled before and what your expectations are. I also think it only fair to address issues with management before posting on a public forum. All of these concerns that I refer to below have been expressed to the management and the response to date has been indifferent at best. Overall this hotel is overdue a refurbishment but unfortunately the tired nature of the decor extends to the staff and management also. My problems were many. The room was not serviced properly on two days. Paint was flaking from the walls and the air-conditioning did not work properly, which meant the room was frequently cold. The room was also poorly lit, which created a very depressing ambience. Check in and check out were comical. When I checked out I was given no bill, no invoice or any receipt, neither was one emailed to me. When I got home I saw that I had been overbilled by €300 which management told me was normal practice but was being refunded to me. By the way it took three days of emailing management to be told this. This could have easily been avoided or cleared this up if I was given an bill/invoice or informed of this by reception, none of which happened. There were other issues. The downstairs common areas are small, rundown and completely misrepresented by the hotels website. The staff refused to hail me a cab and told me to go inside and order one. A small issue, but surely that's one of the benefits of staying in a five star hotel. Finally communication. I emailed them, using the address provided on their website, filled out a contact form on the website and finally completed a customer satisfaction survey. No of this aroused the attention of the Hotel Management. Finally I resorted to the only tried and trusted method, Twitter. I eventually got a response here, but it too was also slow and labored. The room was €500 per night. It was far from value for money. Would I go to Bordeaux again, most definitely yes. Would I stay in this hotel again, most definitely no. The problems in this hotel extend across the board, it will take some effort to fix them.

Great budget stay for 1 night. Room is very tiny so not ideal if you have large suitcases, we had to place ours under the bed. Shower and bathroom good, you get complimentary shower gel and soap. Easy access to the centre attractions, 15 mins walking and public transport stops just outside (we used bus 1 to the airport) and it stops at the Palais of Justice). Staff super friendly and efficient, couldn't do more to help really!! Checking was done within a few mins. Luggage storage is 2euros. We didn't have breakfast here so can't comment but will definitely stay again. Convenient and safe location.

We visited Bordeaux for the first time for a family wedding. I must say the location of the hotel was excellent, cleanliness of a very high standard, but most of all very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. The breakfast was nice, albeit at €15 each not the cheapest for a family of 5. The reception staff booked our taxis for the airport and the chateau for the wedding with little fuss. The taxis are a little expensive but that’s not the hotels fault, and most taxi drivers (not all) drive with their mobile in their hand, so be prepared for a potentially scary ride. I would recommend this hotel for a short break, we were there for 5 nights, we had two rooms on different floors, so would try and get them close together if staying again.

Great little hotel with individuality. Nice breakfast, well equipped, comfortable clean rooms, excellent location to explore the city by foot and excellent choice of restaurants close by. But what really makes the hotel is the really helpful and friendly staff, always happy to give advice and assist. Special thanks has to go to MATEO, who went to so much trouble to help our group when our transfer bus to the airport was waiting at the wrong place. Genuine service - thank you so much!

The location is acceptable, in the central area of Bordeaux, 500 meters walk after getting off the airport bus, the gate entrance is on the side of the street, easy to find, arrive at more than 10 o'clock in the evening, there are many people at the entrance of the bar, and feel safe. The rooms are small, with good hygiene, comfortable bedding and average breakfast. The front desk was good, and the taxi was booked, a better experience.
