Hotels near Square Georges Mandel, Bordeaux

It is 2.8 kilometers away from the airport, a 35-minute walk. The light rain in the morning was very light, and we successfully arrived at Bordeaux Airport and Madrid, Spain, in about an hour.

Location was closed the flixbus station by walk and receptionist was amazingly friendly. Room condition was even beyond my expection and good enough to stay alone with a nice and huge window view from my window or I'm the lucky one to stay in a beautiful corner room. Thanks for having this good memory for my first time to visit in Bordeaux.

Admittedly, this is a bit of a concept, so it’s not for everyone. The rooms are tiny and minimalist, with nice-quality furnishings (Hansgrohe shower heads), but not many of them (no wardrobe or somesuch), combined with the – somewhat au courant and very cheap – coarse chipboard and industrial details. So if you’re hankering for cushy-cushy premium 5star luxury, move on. But the upsides reach from very low prices, to a very small footprint in CO2 (and other resource-use) terms, to a very pleasant international contemporary interpretation of common areas (yes, we have foosball), to an unexcitedly cool clientele. In a way, it reminded me of the early high-concept Club Med, with extremely modest rooms (often tents) and a focus on the communal experience, at times a bit essentialist. For us, less was more.

It’s called Budget for a reason. Visited for the Rugby World Cup. Shared a twin room with another fan who thankfully was a mate, or it could have been a bit awkward squeezing round the bedroom furniture and sharing the facilities. Good point - fresh towels every day. Bad point - they were only slightly bigger than tea towels. Clean but not very comfortable bed with highly mobile mattress topper and the worst pillow in the world. Weak and cramped shower with a wall mounting which fell off. Air con? Not working initially and not exactly arctic after we complained. Repaired promptly however. Everything cheap when it was new and it isn’t new any more. Breakfast also basic and self service / self clearing. Same every day. Staff tried hard, though. Summary - served a purpose but wouldn’t use it again despite it’s convenient location. OK for a couple of days but you’ll need to set a low bar to avoid being disappointed.

Excellent hotel well located very friendly staff very friendly very nice , there all near the hotel restaurant just next to , the city centre is not far , I spent 3 nights my husband and I was very satisfied very good shower I regret I have nothing to say extraordinary I will come back one day I and my husband , I strongly recommend this hotel thank you very much for your service

All the staff are very nice and friendly. The hotel and room are very clean. If this hotel provides a kettle, a couple of cups and spoons, and a fridge, it will be perfect. 10-15 mins walk from the train station. Next to the hotel, there is a tramway stop and a little supermarket. We are considering a next trip to Bordeaux. We may book this hotel again.

The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. The room was clean, comfortable. A full breakfast and really good for 9euros. A very nice receptionist. Just the shower that is not closed down and it puts water everywhere !! Only negative point !

Perhaps it was because we came in winter, but this hotel did not live up to previous reviews. It was very much a mixed bag across the board. I've rounded down the stars as I'd give this 2.5 if I could, as it's definitely not a 3 star place currently. The Good - Comfy bed, nice linen - Comfort in the room in general - Cleanliness - Eco friendly large bottles of good quality soap shampoo etc - Location for leaving the city for day trips The average - General location - this will be off-putting for some people as it's in housing estates (and not affluent ones), it's about a 16min walk to the tram station, and very narrow roads driving in making it hard to get to (cars parked all along the sides) - Road noise - constant but only an issue if you open the window which we needed to as the room was very warm and air con wasn't cold, tho not surprising as it's winter (I expect it wasn't turned on) - Parking - in a caged/ gated section, wouldn't like to be here at a peak time as it was almost full the two nights we stayed The bad - Breakfast - very disappointing, not much choice at all, no effort put into it, no hot foods. Photos online definitely don't represent what's on offer at least at this time. - In room TV - while a nice TV, no movie channel and no way to connect an external device or log into any of your own services - WiFi - did not work the entire time we were there (this was not the individual hotel's fault but that of IHG and really for such a huge chain inexcusable) - Staff morale - while everyone was friendly, no one did more than was expected to the point that when asking about finding a particular regional dish in the city, we were told ”I have no idea, just ring some of the restaurants” Bordeaux is a lovely city, as is the region as a whole. I can't recommend this hotel unless you need to be in that area particularly or are only passing through for a night. I've stayed in Holiday Inns before and while cosmetically this is one of the newest/ nicest, it left a bitter taste in the mouth. We've been staying in lots of hotels in France so far, and this has been the worst experience, for example the following night at a very old and cheap chain hotel in Biarritz next to the airport, we had an incredible breakfast, zero noise with the window open, and wonderful and helpful service (despite France losing the final).

We were travelling from the UK to Portugal with our two dogs and this hotel was great for an overnight stop. We stayed here twice; once on the way and again on the way back. For the return journey, we were allocated a ground floor room overlooking the back of the hotel, which was just perfect for us. The hotel was very easy to find, had secure free parking and a small grass area for our dogs to exercise. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was a drinks machine and vending machine in the reception area along with a microwave that you could use. The only downside was that there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room; not a problem for us as we had brought our own kettle, mugs, tea bags and milk. We were very pleased we chose this hotel and will definitely stay again.

Good location, in the southern suburbs of Bordeaux, with a small swimming pool, suitable for children to play in the water, this price also has a double breakfast, very suitable, the staff service is very polite, take the initiative to make pancake fruit for me in the morning, fluent in Chinese and English. Directly drive to the city center for 25 minutes, with free parking, and a large supermarket in a parking lot.
