Au Coeur de Bordeaux B&B

Location is good but forget the rest. This place is completely over rated(also mentioned by another reviewer) . The greeting was not welcoming. Place lacks any friendliness and is no way like a B and B in England or Ireland. Stairs are a nightmare for carrying suitcases. Our room was inferior, the bed creaked every time you moved in bed. The bathroom is dark and entry/exit to shower is risky. Basin is like a garden trough with no space to put things. Breakfast was awful. Choice of cornflakes or chocolate flakes, juice super sweet and croissants stale and more like bread. Fruit is tinned and cheese and ham inferior quality. Would never recommend this soleless and unfriendly place

A beautiful, French style boutique in the centre of Bordeaux. We found the location fantastic and walked everywhere, the majority of sights/shops places of interest are within a 10/15 minute walk to b&b. Leticia is very friendly and helpful, showing us lots of great places of interest and recommending good food places. The lady serving breakfast is also very friendly too. The rooms are beautifully decorated with quirky pictures, ornaments and sweet little balcony with French doors. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was modern with fantastic large shower. A good selection in mini bar and reasonably priced. Yes the spiral stairs are windy and go up to about 4 floors I think, but don't moan about the staircase, if you want a lift go to a large commercialised hotel instead! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The room was very cozy and spacious. We had no issues with noise even though we were on the first floor. The guesthouse is well located and the staff were very helpful!

Very helpful staff. Excellent facilities. Delicious continental breakfast. Will definitely book it again if we travel to Bordeaux.

The location is great for restaurants, shops and sightseeing. It’s a very pretty building and the furniture is antique looking and beautiful. The rooms are nicely decorated. The breakfast is a little limited, but pretty good, and the dining room is beautiful. We all know that the website is wonderful and of course we expect a wonderful boutique hotel experience. Reality. No elevator and a very steep spiral stone staircase to the rooms. If you’re weak or old it would be difficult or impossible to lift your suitcases to your room! Our room had dust everywhere and the coffee maker had not been cleaned since the previous guest. It took several attempts to get new towels and clean glasses, so basically, room cleaning/service was extremely poor. So what it needs is some good management to train the staff, clean the building and give good guest service, then it would be as magnificent as it looks in the website.

A beautiful room with modern shower located in the heart of downtown Bordeaux, yet on a quiet side street. Wonderful breakfast! Highly recommended.

The room was nice, clean, country-chic and charming. It’s has a small balcony when my husband and I had a vine and cheese. Great location on a quiet street but close the historical center of the beach Boudreaux.

Situated on small narrow street -very noisy in the evening,I found the spiral staircase difficult , breakfast was basic. Cleanliness of room not good.

What a beautiful guest house. The welcome and information we received from the host was fantastic. She sat us down and went over all the attractions and transport. She showed us to our room and informed us to give her a call if we needed anything. I made the mistake of booking the suite which consisted of two rooms, so if you were a group of four this would be ideal. Just be aware it is on the 2nd floor with no lift and steep but beautiful stairs. There were 2 tram stations within a 5-minute walk, and only 2 tram stops to the main train station St Jean and a 20-minute ride from the airport. The cafes, restaurants and shops were all nearby as well as the attractions. Breakfast was sufficient all served at your table. Would absolutely stay here again.
