Compare 5 airports near Bordeaux
For most travelers, Bordeaux–Merignac Airport (BOD) is the primary and most practical choice, as it sits within the Bordeaux metropolitan area and serves as the city's main hub for both domestic and international flights. Travelers landing here benefit from efficient public transport like the tram and shuttle bus directly into the heart of the city. The other airports are located in neighboring cities and are better suited for those visiting those specific regions or seeking alternative flight paths. Biarritz Pays Basque Airport (BIQ) serves the coastal city of Biarritz; it is a popular gateway for the Basque Country but requires a 2-hour-plus journey by train or bus to reach Bordeaux. Similarly, Roumanieres Airport (EGC), La Rochelle Airport (LRH), and Pyrenees Airport (PUF) serve Bergerac, La Rochelle, and Pau respectively. These are regional gateways, not airports of Bordeaux, and are only recommended if your travel itinerary includes these regions or if significant fare savings outweigh the longer transit times. Always check if a rail connection is available, as it is generally more comfortable than bus travel for these longer distances.

The hotel is a bit far from the city's attractions, but it's only a 15-minute walk from the train station, and there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making transportation quite convenient. A public parking lot is just across the street. While dining options nearby are limited, the hotel's own restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The breakfast is also good.FromUS$72

Because we were a couple, one adult and two children, we couldn't fit into a regular room, so we booked a suite. The exterior is beautiful, in the bustling area of Bordeaux. However, we were given a second-floor suite. Anyone who's stayed in an old European hotel knows that the second floor was originally a warehouse, with low ceilings and small windows. You can see the building just two meters away. ☹️ When booking, I requested a higher floor and a better view, but they completely ignored it. The decor is dated, and I had no desire to take photos. The only toiletries were Byredo, but I don't like the scent. 😭
I won't stay at this hotel again.FromUS$476

The hotel is quite near Gare de Bordeaux St Jean, about 10 minutes’ light walking distance away. The hotel is neat and tidy. It provides free apples upon check-in. There’s a mix-up about breakfast, which I was almost charged for upon check-out when the staff at check-in mentioned all was already included in my booking (city tax and breakfast). She even mentioned dinner was included. Thankfully, I checked again with her, and she mentioned I could check them out and pay upon check-out. Duh. However, in the end, the breakfast fees were waived off, thankfully. There’s a water dispenser near the lift where we could top up water. There’s a fridge and safe deposit box, as well as coffee and tea sachets available in the room. The lighting was not that bright in the room, but since it’s already May, the sunset happens after 9 p.m. anyway, so it’s not a big issue. I think they purposely made the room a bit darker as well for ambiance, maybe.FromUS$87

Positive: fantastic location just off the main shopping street. Near shops, restaurants, pubs etc And less than 50m from a branch of Bordeaux’s famous caneles shop La Toque Cuivree. (Don’t leave with trying a few!)
Slight negative: it’s in a pedestrian only street.
We weren’t affected but if you need to handle bulky luggage, the taxis can’t drive up to the hotel’s doorstep and you have to walk 100m or so.
Negative: the bathroom shower area was on a raised platform and wasn’t fully enclosed. The shower tile flooring became slippery once wet, and this made stepping up and down an exercise in caution.FromUS$138

We booked a deluxe room with breakfast. The hotel is the kind of European 17/8 century building. The highest floor is the previous maid. In the center of Bordeaux, the location is very convenient. It is basically a 10-minute walk to various attractions and shopping. It is a 10-minute walk. Sanitation is worthy of praise. The hotel guests are also very quiet and friendlyFromUS$185

Lovely little room not too far away from the centre of all things happening in the centre.tranaport links are really good and the public transport system itself is so efficient.
The room has a small kitchen filled with essentials for cooking light meals - hob, microwave and kettle. Sink prepared with things to wash dishes too. Also delighted to find we had a drip stand coffee machine!
The room is compact but absolutely everything you need. There is a huge gate at the front of the property which means it's really safe. Neighbourhood was ok but would be walking quickly if I was on my own, however I didn't feel the need to get a taxi once.
Bathroom has a hairdryer!
Lovely graffiti artwork around the property as well.FromUS$64

First time to Bordeaux to participate in the red wine marathon. These are two things I like! The inefficiency, relaxation and slightly arrogant attitude of the French are the reasons why I don't like them. This restaurant turned out to be a Japanese restaurant. It's not bad if you can choose the wine you like, but there was no hot main course. As an exception, I was given a bowl of French-Japanese style Chinese vegetable noodles! Finally, the next day, my Boston Marathon commemorative jacket was gone. In addition, I was overcharged by more than 2,700 euros at the checkout. They said it was a mistake. At first, they refused to give me the bill. In the end, I found out that it was a mistake. I almost called the police before they admitted their mistake. This issue has always been in a state of inconclusiveness. Ctrip's communication is also pale and powerless. It seems that Ctrip is not influential enough overseas, especially in Europe. By the way, the parking fee is 40 euros per night...FromUS$228
