Hotels near Saint-Nicolas, Bordeaux

Convenient hotel for stay in Bordeaux when coming over with car. Hotel is relatively close to the city center, but still in the area where it's comfortable to drive and has secure parking located inside the complex. Facilities and room matches what you would expect in the price range of the hotel and staff is very friendly and helpful.

It is not far from the station but if you already got a ticket can hop on the bus as a bus stop is very close. Staff is very nice as we checked in afterva check in time, she was still waiting for us. Room and facilities also in a good condition.

Reception: English lady at reception was very assistive and pleasant. Room / facilities: Room number 608 is on the 6th floor and is an executive room. Not sure why it is considered executive, as it only appeared to be larger than other rooms (based on the floor, layout diagram on the entry door). We did not use the flat screen TV as there are virtually nil english speaking tv channels on French TV. The king bed is comfortable, but the 4x square European pillows are not to my liking. The executive room was not as clean as i would expect, as there is black mould in the clothes hanging space, a mop head is provided (no handle attached), the bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans have years of dust built up around the edges where the fan unit connects to the wall. The room walls badly need a paint and freshen up, as there are black marks on the walls from the bedside tables. Water streaks run down the bathroom walls. There executive room has no daily clean, obtaining fresh towels cost extra per request. Depending on your length of stay, to ask for the room to be cleaned floor vacuum is an additional €9. We saw the cleaner on our floor one morning, however after we returned after 4 hours, the floor hall way was not even vacuumed. The towels provided fell brand new, as the tags are not frayed, they smell and feel fresh from the store, UNWASHED.. I have to take the rubbish out. Our booking was for two persons, yet the hotel only provided 1x bottle of water, additional bottles were at a cost. The kitchenette has a bar fridge, cook top, microwave, cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, but no towel to dry dishes, no chopping board nor a plug for the sink. Well equipped kitchen MINUS the bare basics. You have to request a dish wash kit from reception, this dish wash liquid in the kit is as runny as water, does not form any suds and will only last 1 - 2 washes. Using the liquid soap in the bathroom was more effective. The bathroom has yellow coloured stains on the silicone around the base of the tiles, the shower tiles appear to be dirty and need a good scrub. This may be the design of the tiles. The toilet could use a good dose of beach or domestic cleaner (domestos) and a scrub to clean the “s” bend of the toilet, as there are black marks visible in the bowl. The studio apartment does have a self control air conditioning and windows that opens fully. The Air Con was on at our arrival and made it very comfortable to enter the room, after a hot walk from the train station. Laundry: None on site, but a Self service coin laundry with washers and dryers is a 2 minute walk on the street corner. Wash cost €5 for 8kg. Dry is available. Parking: I believe parking is available on site, for an additional charge, but this was not utilised during our visit. Wifi: Fast and reliable. Email address required for login. Breakfast: Available at an additional daily charge. This was not utilised during my stay. Conclusion: Great location as the hotel is 65

The hotel is unbeatable. The staff, the services and the location, out of 10!

The hostel is clean, staff is friendly. But the location is not good, far away

I was a bit worried because it was near the station, but the security was thorough with double doors, and the card key was continuously registered, so the security was great!! Willing to use one more next time

This hotel is not a hotel. It is more a hostel. At hotel prices. It is dirty. It stank when we got there, of nothing I'd ever experienced before. And I've spent many a night backstage at music festivals. It is hot. It has one window which can be opened and it needs to be open as otherwise you are in a sauna. And that's with the windows facing north. Heaven help those on the other side of the place, no really, I am worried about you. Because of the open window, even with the shutter closed, no air comes in but what you do get is noise, doors slamming all night long, loud horrendous music from their bar. Or you don't shut the shutter and leave the room open at ground level to anyone wanting to dive right in. It is priced at hotel prices. It is not eco. In any way. Being eco means designing a building to be suitable for use in an ecological fashion. This place is badly designed, badly fitted out, has no amenities and is just a cheap and nasty hostel. By the way, we also got bitten by a plague of things from the moment we got there to the moment we left. We should have gone after the first night but you live and learn. Such a fantastic city, this place should be condemned. What a waste of money. The only nice bit is the potager plants and herbs on the rear walkway. Which of course you see quite alot of as you don't want to spend any more time than necessary in the actual room. Oh and we couldn't lock the door from the inside, as it had recently been smashed in.

Nur eine kurze Nacht in Bordeaux sollte es werden. Am Abend, nach einer langen Autofahrt spät ankommen und dann am nächsten Vormittag ebenso schnell frühstücken, anschließend ins Stadion und es geht schon weiter. Idealerweise hat man noch einen Parkplatz dabei und spart sich somit nach langer Fahrt noch eine nervenaufreibende Parkplatzsuche in der Innenstadt. Irgendwie erinnerte ich mich, dass ich vor etwa 30 Jahren bei einer Frankreich-Reise mal in einigen Formel 1 Hotels Station gemacht hatte. Damals noch extrem günstig. Und irgendwie führte diese etwas verklärte und sehr verblasste Erinnerung dazu, dass ich das Formel 1 Hotel buchte. Vorsichtshalber allerdings ein Cabrio-Zimmer, also mit eigenem Badezimmer. Diesen Aufpreis war es mir auf jeden Fall wert. Nach 14 Stunden Fahrt dort abends gegen 22 Uhr angekommen, war erst mal alles wie erwartet. Es sollte doch hoffentlich allen Gästen klar sein, dass es sich hier um eine Hotelkette handelt, die vorzugsweise in Industriegebieten ansässig ist. Wer hier ein umfangreiches Angebot an Restaurants und weiteren Ausgehmöglichkeiten in Laufnähe erwartet, hat im Vorfeld nicht aufgepasst. Also, schnell das Auto abgestellt und rein ins Hotel. Tatsächlich war um die späte Uhrzeit noch ein Mitarbeiter vor Ort, der den Check-In erledigte. Bis hierhin alles ok. Das Zimmer ansich war dann eher untere Kategorie. Wir waren im EG, wenn man das Fenster öffnete schaute man auf tausende von Zigarettenstummeln und Abfall. Also besser Fenster zulassen, wenigstens funktionierte bei hochsommerlichen Temperaturen die Klimaanlage. Das Bad war ein relativ großer, aber vollkommen steriler und weiß gekachelter Raum, hatte etwas von einem Krankenhaus. Mit den Fotos, die wir vorher auf der Internetseite gesehen hatten, hatte es leider nichts zu tun. Naja, eine Stunde später machten wir die Augen zu und am nächsten Morgen reisten wir wie geplant nach dem Frühstück wieder ab. Das Frühstück war genau, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Nicht besser und nicht schlechter. Fazit: wir haben zu zweit (ein Erwachsener, ein Kind) insgesamt 72 € für diese eine ÜN und 2 x Frühstück bezahlt. Das ist für das erhaltene Paket am Ende einfach zu viel Geld. Hätte ich irgendwas zwischen 40 und 50 € bezahlt, dann wäre das für die Leistungen ok gewesen. Aber für 72 € übernachte ich auch in inhabergeführten Pensionen, habe ein ordentliches Handtuch im Bad und bekomme morgens ein frisches Frühstücksei. Von daher leider keine Empfehlung.

Stayed in hotel 15th July. Family of 5. Had requested adjoining rooms if possible. Arrived after 9. Girl at desk was extremely busy with queue out door. This didn't stop 1 or 2 guests cutting in to avail of fans. Rooms not together which meant husband had to stay in one room with one child and me with 2 others. We were on 4th floor, in a small pokey room, in a heat wave without air conditioning (which was advertised). I asked night reception for fan which had been given out to other guests at time of check in, no longer available. He advised he could open window....which opened the whole window outward....I advised I didn't feel safe doing that with 2 children on 4th floor that and mosquito bite and noise from outside from party goers as is in middle of town. Couldnt sleep a wink. His advice was to request reimbursement which I did. Took hotel few days answer and gave alternate email which isn't sending. Overall very poor experience. Budget hotel....exactly what it says on the tin....have no expectations
