La Maison Bord’eaux, Bordeaux
Expert reviews
“In a quiet, residential area slightly out of the center, lies this chic hideaway, just across the street from a chunk of a 2nd-century Gallo-Roman arena. Back in the 18th century these buildings made up a postal relay; today the golden limestone facade hides a collection of comfortable, modern rooms with polished wood floors, contemporary furniture, and luscious colors on the walls.”
“Northwest of the city center, the street-front door of this inconspicuous boutique hotel opens onto a quiet courtyard that once served as a relay stable for carriages and today provides a welcome respite for modern travelers seeking urban tranquility.”
“You’d expect to find a sumptuous 18th-century château with a conifer-flanked courtyard and stable house in the countryside, but this stunning maison d’hôte hidden behind a high stone wall is right in the middle of the city. It is part of the prestigious Châteaux & Hotels Collection, with sumptuous rooms to match.”

We were very pleasantly surprised by the high quality and value of this charming hotel near the city tram.
Well designed, charming lobby and courtyard, spacious room. The outdoor balcony overlooking the renovated stables and courtyard was delightful.
Toilet area separate from sink and shower in room. Steps in room. Dark in hallways and elevator.

Faultless short stay in Bordeaux
Location, helpfulness of staff, parking option, great breakfast and room. The lady who talked us in to the car parking location on the phone during road closure was exceptional.
A bit pricy.

The location is excellent. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable and bathroom is spotless and has all you need and a few extras. Tea and coffee great in the room, some milk would be wonderful. Breakfast is good, be sure to ask if you want something, staff happy to oblige. For an Irish person, tea could be hotter. I would definitely recommend and would stay again if back in Bordeaux.
Nothing comes to mind.

Good hotel, but probably won’t stay there again.
The location, courtyard of the hotel, and breakfast were excellent. Room was quite comfortable, except the bathroom was around the corner from toilette. You had to use the bathroom, then cross the room in order to wash your hands.
There was not much place for clothing - there were 3-4 hangers in a very narrow space, and only one shelf above the coffeemaker, that was not really suitable to place folded clothing.

Great for a long weekend in Bordeaux
Room was fine, although pretty small. The staff was quite kind and accommodating, uniformly offering a very high level of service. The breakfast was surprisingly nice but the price is a bit high, nonetheless.
The bathroom could use a bit of TLC - a more robust ventilation system in the bathroom, proper caulking at the base of the shower instead of plastic inserts. The curtains could use a good cleaning (quite dusty).

The hotel is charming, clean, and beautiful. It has a wonderful courtyard where we ate a light dinner from a patisserie. The staff, especially Suzanne was helpful giving us advice on things to see, navigation of the tram system, dishes, utensils, and wine for dinner and getting a taxi to our river boat. The hotel is located near the historic district within walking distance of shops, resturants, and the tram.

Excellent place to stay while exploring the ancient city of Bordeaux.
Hotel located close to the center of town, with many of the historical, cultural sights within walking distance. Also there was a tram stop within 5 mins walk which made getting around town very easy. Great hotel with awesome service, nice amenities and wonderful breakfast.
The layout of the room was a bit inconvenient with the bath split up across the room, and a dangerous step that becomes bad in the middle of the night.

A good location for exploring the city, very close to a tram stop, and some good restaurants nearby
A very good breakfast. Wifi speeds were not very good unfortunately. Secure underground parking.
Unfortunately there is no bar at the hotel.

Pleasant stay in a nice historic old property a little far from the center of Bordeaux . Good value price.
Nice setting and comfortable rooms in a quiet neighborhood. Very good parking in the premises.
A little far from downtown Bordeaux. The shower of the room we stayed was of difficult access.

It was good, but they could make it a Great stay with a few changes.
Location, Spacious Clean Rooms and helpful staff.
The breakfast was not worth the price, the scrabbled eggs were awful and cold. They didn’t even have regular bread to toast in the toaster, that was available. The only positive was good plentiful coffee and great croissants. We could not find a place to have breakfast near by, which opens early in the morning. Also, our rooms we were in were separate from the main hotel, we had a smaller elevator with only a spiral stair case. The hallway leading to our room had a must smell and carpeting throughout the room. Needs an Update!

Very good
Location was good, quiet area but tram stop close by so easy to reach more lively areas. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bottle of water left in room every day. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The toilet was separate from the bathroom in a tiny cupboard-like cubicle which wasn’t very comfortable. We had a terrace but the outer wall was quite high so not the view we were expecting to have. We only had breakfast on one morning of our stay, it was adequate but not great. Room was over-priced.

Bordeaux is a fabulous city , with very friendly people and a wide range of stunning buildings and places of interest .
Quiet location , lovely boutique hotel in a period property . Great balcony rooms worth the extra cost .
It is around a 20 minute walk to the old town .

Great hotel - we would definitely consider revisiting
Beautiful boutique hotel with wonderful staff. We stayed in the old stables, in a nice big, comfortable room. Bed was great, shower had good pressure, room was air conditioned. There are nice amenities in the immediate vacinity (e.g. boulangeries, a wonderful public park) and the tram stop is about a 3 minute walk away. Trams run frequently and are well connected. 1 or 2 stops will get you to central Bordeaux (walkable also). The hotel can arrange parking very close by on the same street in a secure underground car park. Very convenient.
The one thing I wasn’t a fan of was that in our particular room, the toilet is separate from the shower and sink.

Very nice hotel with clean rooms. Close to the center
Well appointed rooms. Our room was small but we booked the basic one. Staff very professional and gave great recommendations on restaurants and bars. Short walk to the city centre (10-15 minutes)

Lovely small hotel near the centre, easy to get to by car, with parking
Lovely small hotel about a 20 mins walk from the centre on Bordeaux, with good parking. Room was spacious with good shower room. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We don’t have the breakfast as seemed expensive at 16 euros a head

Best place to choose when in Bordeaux
The staff were kind and generous with their time, just to make us comfortable. The place was spotless, the breakfast (served early to accommodate our departure time) was excellent, and the room, even though it was not large, had everything we needed.
Nothing, we liked everything. The location is OK too, a bit out of the way from the busy centre - but as a consequence very quiet and peaceful, and nice walk to the centre, passing the ruins of a Roman arena from the 3rd century. The street car stop is not far either, as an alternative.

Stay here! You won’t regret it.
Newly decorated ancient hotel was super comfortable; had very nice AC (during a hot visit); had bottles of cold water in the mini fridge; offered a wonderful, healthy display for breakfast; absolutely the best staff accommodating every ask or wish; super(!) comfy bed and pillows and the location was on a quiet street just 7-9 blocks away from everything interesting. A convenience store 2 blks away too. Oh! And the bath products were delightful! Oh! And a lovely, lovely garden patio to eat or just lounge.
Washcloths would have been nice.
