Hôtel La Cour Carrée, Bordeaux
The Hôtel La Cour Carrée, a charming boutique hotel, is nestled in a refurbished two-century-old townhouse in the heart of Bordeaux.
The fusion of traditional Bordeaux stone, wooden beams, and fireplaces creates a cozy atmosphere, while the minimalist Nordic-inspired interior design injects a modern, stylish vibe. Its prime location makes it perfect for exploring the city on foot and provides easy access to all types of public transportation.
A stone’s throw away from Grands Hommes Square, Allées de Tourny, and Gambetta Square, this charming, air-conditioned hotel offers complimentary Wi-Fi access. Housed in a 200-year-old edifice, it boasts tastefully furnished rooms and a patio with a terrace.
Many of the rooms, designed in a modern style, feature wooden beams and walls with exposed stone. They all come equipped with an LCD TV, and some even offer a cozy seating area. The en-suite bathrooms are equipped with either a bathtub or a shower.
Hôtel La Cour Carrée serves up a buffet breakfast each morning.
A variety of shops, along with shuttle services to Bordeaux Airport and Saint-Jean Railway Station, can be found just a stone’s throw away, in Gambetta Square.

Expert reviews
“Tucked in an 18th-century house on a quiet side street with little passing traffic, this design-driven boutique hotel oozes natural style and peace. Soft, muted colours and contemporary Scandinavian furnishings complement ancient gold-stone walls in its 16 elegant rooms, and the pièce de résistance is the interior courtyard – a much-appreciated alfresco lounge in summer.”

Very enjoyable, nice room, nice staff, nice breakfast!
It’s very well located, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The room is smallish but nicely decorated and very clean.
The breakfast was very nice as well.
The stairs to our room are a bit narrow and steep, but understandable because it is an old building.
A couple of finishings in our room were missing.

Given the location and friendly staff I would stay here again.
Great location and very helpful staff. Rooms were very clean and bed was comfy!
First room we stayed in was very small and shower basin would not drain properly.

Great spot, thought it may be more of a hotel but really just a room in a house.
Great location, comfortable bed & great decor.
No facilities for hot & cold drinks, but available on request in working hours in reception. It felt like more of a single room airBnB with a daytime receptionist. There was a sharp & dangerous metal spike sticking out of the wall on the upper staircase.

Bordeaux is great
The location was excellent, the staff were very welcoming and helpful
It would have been nice to have had the possibility of tea or coffee in the room or available in reception . For the price we paid might expect this amenity

Perfect place for a couple of days exploring the beautiful city of Bordeaux!
The location was great, easy walk to everything, central enough but down a quiet street so place is very peaceful. Wonderful host, very helpful, rooms are very clean and felt cozy. Lovely courtyard downstairs and breakfast available which has a good variety. Loved our stay!!

A charming old town, old building but modern furnishing stay
Location was great, nice breakfast, very very quiet and slept soundly in a nice bed. Great towels, Reception guy was very friendly and welcoming. Modern furnishings. Aircon/heater
Some parts of the room needed refurbishing. Small things which were not a problem but didn’t create a good impression: there is a hole in the wall where the door handle hits it, the shower had some mould because of no extraction fan. Not problems really but they need fixing.

We had a great stay and would return when back in Bordeaux :)
The location of the hotel in the city centre is perfect, everything is just a stone's throw away. Benjamin and his team made us feel very welcome. I stayed at the hotel with my young daughter and we were even upgraded to a bigger room for more space and comfort. Would definitely book this hotel again.

A great stay
This was our first visit to Bordeaux, we wanted to be fairly central. The location of this hotel is great, you can walk everywhere, the old centre, the river, even the City of Wine Museum although that was further than expected. The room was neat, and very quiet, the breakfast was a good continental spread, they bought top quality artisan gluten free bread for me as I am coeliac. The staff were delightful and there is a small private garage for parking your car.
The room was quite small, and the prices are fairly high, but that seems to be general in Bordeaux, dubbed little Paris.

Good value place in downtown Bordeaux
Excellent location, affordable price, good communication.
I only arrived at 10pm and left the next morning, so didn’t really experience much.

Lovely, small, friend staff, lovely breakfast. Nice boutique hotel.

Good location & nice little hotel. Make sure you lock your doors and you have power your last night.
Staff were great. The woman that welcomed me, was especially great. Super friendly - offered me a drink while I waited for my room. Location was great. Very quiet, but close to where I wanted to hang out.
Big cob web in my room. I didn't notice it the first day, but I noticed it the 2nd day. It was too high for me to reach, and I forgot to mention it to the staff the next day...it was there right to the end. Luckily there was no spider with it! ;-)
While I liked the place, I think having someone around 24hrs would be great. My last night there was an issue. None of my power outlets were working. My lights worked and my A/C worked, but I couldn't watch TV, work the hairdryer (luckily I didn't need it), recharge my phone, and I was limited with how long I could use my laptop (needed it for work).
My other issue is that my room was quiet at night, but it wasn't during the day. There was some staff room next to mine and people went in and out. It was a bit disruptive - but ultimately not a big deal.
Small little thing, I am use to hotel doors locking automatically when I close them. My door was a fire door, so because of the hydraulic, closed very slowly, and you had to really pull to close it faster. The door did not lock after you closed it, and I am sure I had left it unlocked several times before I discover that it didn't lock. My fault for not checking, but it would be handy to be told this on check-in for future guests.

Very small rooms but comfy and well-located
Really comfy bed and good location
Very small … & were told we got an upgrade and bigger room! Be careful on the stairs, not for anyone with mobility issues.

Nice location to get to main sights, good food and terraces within walking distance of nightlife.
The location in town, the room and bathroom, the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast was nice, coffee with fresh milk.
Availability of warm breakfast items but nice French continental breakfast. But was very nice overall.

Enjoyed our city break at La Coeur Carre
Location and staff.
Had to request a kettle and carpet in our room was stained and damp.

Sleek, modern boutique hotel, in an excellent location for the city centre.
Great location, modern, clean and bright. Parking was convenient and secure.
The room was pretty small and was up a turning flight of stairs which was a little awkward with suitcases.

spaces are a bit small, stairs might be challenging for older people

Stylish and peaceful boutique hotel
Good location close to the centre but in a quiet side street. Compact and quirky retaining some original features. Rooms design oriented along clean Scandinavian lines.
Old original winding stairs might be a bit too steep for some guests.

Good location, but imposible for a person that have sort of problem walking. The stairs are very tricky
The location was good
No parking, to access to the room you have to use a very tricky stairs. If you have some of problem they would be imposible

Nice hotel but very expensive for what it is.
First room very nice but expensive.
No elevator..
I add one more night , they change room the price was the same but room extremely tight, unfunctional
6 October 2023
Definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay.
This is a delightful little hotel in a good location. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. Our room was small but well equipped and had lots of storage and was perfect for 2 nights. The bathroom was surprisingly large.
There wasn’t much I didn’t like except it would be nicer if there was a proper area for breakfast and you didn’t have to order in advance.

Central location, kind staff, just what we needed after cancelled flight.
