Fabrice was kind and helpful, and the breakfast was a nice touch. There are thoughtful details in the room like micellar water, hand soap, shampoo and body gel. However the room we stayed in was VERY small and there was no place to put our clothes or suitcases.

Beautiful guest house

Beautiful guest house in Bordeaux. Fabrice was delightful, very helpful and kind. The room was gorgeous, clean with kettle, coffee maker, fridge, microwave and even a dishwasher. A great establishment where you can come and go as you please. Fabrice was kind enough to allow us to leave our cases there on our last day due to late flights. Would stay here again.

Great stay in a vibrant, diverse, stunning city.

A comfortable, cosy stay in a tastefully decorated, characterful room that made the best use of the available space. All of the necessary facilities were provided. Great central location, close to the main arterial, inner city pedestrian boulevards - shops, eateries, history, riverside. A brilliant start point to explore all that this city of culture and diversity has to offer, on foot or by tram. The house environment is very tranquil but open the door to the street of this historic property and you are amidst the Bordelaise vibrancy immediately. Fabrice's warm hospitality and information on the city was exceptional. Secure, nominated, closeby parking was a great bonus. A great stay. We will return. Highly recommended.

Place is well located, easy access to public transportation. Check in was a little awkward for us that we’re used to check in with a front desk. It’s a self check in. Overall, good place to stay near downtown Bordeaux.

Pas mal

Très belle chambre, très propre et le petit dejeuner très bon. Par contre, le gros point noir d où ma note general à 3 étoiles, rue très bruyante (chambre côté rue) et les chambres avec le parquet qui fait un bruit d enfer....bref deux nuits où nous avons pas trop dormi. Dommage car l'emplacement en plein centre de Bordeaux et place de parking sécurisée sont un gros atout!
