Hôtel La Cour Carrée, Bordeaux
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.”

Our experience staying at la Cour Carter was one of the best stays until after we left .
It was a well decorated small boutique hotel , situated in exactly the right location , quiet ,small street with access to the main triangle of Bordeaux in mere minutes , with loads of restaurants cafes and pubs and hundreds of boutique shops , and a large Local supermarket. Staff were so lovely and friendly , ready to assist you with any of your needs . The rooms were spotless , the cleaners were great and so efficient , missed nothing and we are very picky with cleanliness at . It was amazing to us , especially being so far from home , where life is quite different .🇦🇺
The rooms were spotless but small , we did have a of lot luggage as we were travelling for 4 months . We originally had an upstairs room , it was light roomy and lovely , but the spiral stair case with very tiny steps , was an accident waiting to happen for us seniors . However , the next day the owner Ben , moved us downstairs cases and all , while we were out touring the city of Bordeaux . It was so lovely of him , he also provided us with the necessities for a week long stay . The room change was necessary for our safety , but it certainly wasn’t as roomy or light as the first one . However , the owner did bend over backwards to make our 7 day stay pleasurable. Breakfast was great , service was faultless , although I’m more used to bacon and eggs for breakfast than cereal bread cheese and prosciutto and pastries , it was very fresh and plentiful . No question about that .

The room was very clean and comfortable.

The Hotel is clean, quirt, and conveniently situated in the center of the city.
Hotel is centrally located, and quiet. The rooms were both comfortable. Ben and associated staff were courteous, friendly and always ready to provide assistance as needed. Breakfast was good. Close to a convenient store which stays open until midnight. There is also a public laundromat nearby for those who want to stay longer. A few good asian and French restaurants within comfortable stroll from the hotel

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.

Extremely comfortable bed, fantastic shower! Room was small but we spent little time in it..
We have no complaints about the hotel… Except we booked a taxi from the hotel for a short distance which was extortionate price!… less than 10-12 min journey was 35€!!!

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.

Beautiful hotel
We liked the location and the design of the hotel. Check in and parking was really well communicated and the staff were all very helpful. Breakfast was delicious as well. Great to have the split system air conditioning in the room as well.
No elevator - quite tricky to carry heavy suitcases up and down steep stairs.

What a great small hotel. Staff and owner were incredibly kind and responsive. The breakfast was lovely. Although I really like staying new places when I travel, I felt so taken care of there, I think if I am ever lucky enough to return to Bordeaux, I will stay there again.

There was a marathon the morning we left and we did not know about this. We were not informed by staff at the hotel either . We had to walk 1k to get our Uber as streets were closed. Thankfully we did not miss our flight.

Very well located property , down a quiet side street Small boutique style hotel . Could walk to main centre and bars and restaurants
Tricky stairs to negotiate with luggage although the lovely staff had our bags waiting for us in our room as we arrived quite early and had to leave our luggage Tiny room , but seems the norm in large French cities

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.

A great small hotel
We liked the location near the nicest areas of the city, the large bright room looking into the quiet courtyard and the helpful courteous staff. We had breakfast there every day. We will stay there again.
It might have been a little better if it had an elevator but the stairs were not a problem and staff carried our bags up to our room.

the location and cleanliness is fantastic. it’s a a cool place in walking distance of good restaurants and the Center.
it’s an old converted property so some rooms are limited in size etc due to the building, but it’s well done and the location makes up for it for a couple of nights.
