this hotel seems recently updated and the interiors and rooms are really nice in this hotel class. Rooms look nice and are well-equipped and clean (and quiet). The exteriors could use a bit of paint to make it look more friendly and less like a dead building in a dead zone. The exterior might dissuade people to stay there, while it is really a nice, modern hotel on the edge of Bordeaux that I will remember next time I'm in the area.

Not the Novotel standard we know! Reception was good, very helpful and smiling. Room was very clean. Bar staff was very good. But breakfast was very bad organised. All 3 mornings we experienced missing food and even a broken coffee maschine. And staff was not very helpful and no smiles on their faces. The halls and other inside areas was not as clean as we see in other Novotels. We Will never stay there again.

Grâce à cet hôtel, j'ai pu découvrir une partie de la ville de Bordeaux qui m'était inconnue, le nord de la ville avec son lac. L'hôtel est juste à côté du Lac et ça vaut le coup d'œil, surtout quand il fait beau comme aujourd'hui. Bel hôtel, classe avec une équipe soudée et avenante, chambre confortable et bien aménagée, petit déjeuner copieux et avec du choix, peut être revoir les horaires en semaine (9h30), 10h00 aurait été mieux selon moi et 11h le weekend par exemple. Je reviendrai sûrement dans votre établissement, je le recommande vivement.
