My wife and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Burdigala and we enjoyed it very much. We were welcomed very warmly at reception and all the staff in the hotel were very friendly, helpful and polite. Most of the staff spoke excellent English and although my wife does speak French, this was very helpful especially when we first arrived. Our room was very tastefully decorated, comfortable, spotlessly clean and relaxing. The hotel is ideally situated, being a 2 minute walk from the nearest tram halt (to get in from the airport take the tram to Meriadeck) and a 15 minute walk from the city centre. Breakfast was nice, but we felt that there could have been more options available and perhaps the waiters could have asked if we wanted anything from the kitchen eg omlettes, poached eggs, etc. We dined at Madame Bs on our first night and the food was great - my Rhubarb dessert was superb and might be the finest dessert I've ever had. We had a great stay and would recommend this lovely hotel to anyone.
