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.”

Great overnight stay in the city centre with good parking and very helpful staff
Fantastic central location and very convenient parking. Good breakfast - ordered daily - and very helpful and friendly staff.
Room was small and on the top floor - up fairly steep stairs.

Very good
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.

3 people (one elderly couple), one night stay
Location is great. Staff was very helpful.
If you are booking for elderly people, be aware that this hotel has no lifts. Ask for a ground floor room. I went with my elderly parents and they struggle to go up and down - specially with their bags. On the checkout I asked for help with the bags, and they went down with the luggage for us. The breakfast is a weird system. 12 euros per person but you need to tell them in advance what do you want for breakfast in the next day. And how many units. It’s not a buffet where you serve yourself with the amount you want. Everything is counted. Parking is just a garage with space for 3 cars. You will need to leave the key with them so they can manoeuvre the cars.

Rooms were nice and we'll appointed.
Staircase to rooms was a spiral narrow one. Wish it's mentioned on the property as it does not have an elevator and if you have anything besides a carryon bag u will struggle getting your bags up. And down those stairs.

Incredible City. Easy to navigate. Quiet and bijou and would definitely stay again due to its incredible location. The s
Literally a five minute walk to the beginning of everything! The location is amazing. Stunning restaurants and shops very close. The hotel is down a very quiet road and was so quiet at night. Just perfect for exploring Bordeaux. The bed was so comfy and we had the best nights sleep.
Really sweet bijou place. Ancient walls and stair case. But - the carpet was pretty worn and stained in places.

Good for short stay with fewer small luggages
Clean and convenient location with private car park
Room could be a bit small and inconvenient with lot of baggage especially due to the walkup building. No slippers to walk in the room.

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.
