I would definitely stay here again.

The air condition didn't work great in our room, and it was very hot out, so it was uncomfortable to sleep. Right on the edge of being a great location, about 3-4 blocks from all the action.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I found the room to be very cozy, clean and modern. The service of the staff was very nice as well especially given my inability to speak French. My toothpaste was confiscated at the airport and it was late when i got in, but the desk clerk hooked me up with a free toiletries kit with toothpaste. The hotel isn't directly in the center of shopping areas, […] but the neighborhood is nice, safe and within walking distance of shops and most popular restaurants. There is also a ladies gym in the same building for those interested in that. Read more

Nicely situated near the Cathedral and Hotel de Ville. Conveniently located very close to a tram-stop making it easy to get to other parts of Bordeaux. Traveling with my parents, we were comfortable in one room with a good fold-down sofa-bed.

I don't know why this hotel get 4 stars and this price? This is regular "novotel", a room is small, in-room service does not work at night etc.

Reviews were spot on. I was in Bordeaux on business and reviews suggested a good location, no-frills business hotel. And that it was. Staff was friendly, spoke English, room was clean, bed was good. Location is walking distance to historic Bordeaux, so was able to venture out after business day. Plenty of resturants near-by. Breakfast was typical fare. […] No workout facilities, but hotel was right above a small fitness center. A solid 3-star business hotel. Now if you are looking for a swanky, higher end hotel, might check the Regent Grand Hotel, but triple the price. Read more

The hotel is clean and comfortable, but we were horrified to find that we could use neither Skype or Google voice. The desk staff responded evasively (it useed to work here, no there is nothing you can do to make it work now) and told us to call technical support. Technical support told us that the hotel blocked voice services. Our additional cell phonee […] charges increased the cost of the hotel by over 50%. Shame on them! Also, name suggests it is reall in the center of town. It is not. Read more

There is not enough time or space to write my first hotel review despite never hqving had a conplaint of all the thousands of hotels I have stayed at worldwide. First this hotel is NOT at all central but located in some suburb with really no facilities and transport. To summarise tourists hoping to view sights in Bordeaux will be utterely disappointed […] with both the quality/ location of what is not a 4 star hotels as advertised.Nothing was as stated else I would hqve not booked this hotel. As a result I checked out of this nightmare place the next day as I could not bear the idea of staying here any longer: Also amongst my numerous complaints about this dump is the wifi does not work so I had to use an internet cafe Read more

I was in Bordeaux to work during the night at the hospital. Construction and improvement works were taking place in the first week of October 2012 inside and around the hotel. I fully understand that works need to happen from time to time and I know it is not the fault of the hotel that they are neighboring a construction site. I complained about the […] works inside the hotel on the first day and the hotel staff promised their won't be any works the next day between 8 am and noon. The next day, they continued the works (drilling in the wall and the ceiling of my room) anyway and one staff member was blaming the other. No apologies, though. It would be honest to inform customers about possible hinder prior to the confirmation of their booking. Telling lies about them taking care about it is unforgivable. Read more

Good choice to explore Bordeaux. Car parking at adjacent car park at 19 euros per day with no discount. Did not try restaurant but bar snacks pretty average.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed at the hotel for the Medoc du Medoc and for a city break afterwards. The hotel is very easy to get to from Bordeaux airport with the Airport -> City shuttle bus stopping directly in front of the hotel (12 Euro return ticket). The hotel is just outside the old town centre and easy walking distance to many bars, brasseries, etc. There is a cycle […] hire station as well as a tram stop less than 2 minutes walk away. Would be happy to stay there again in future. Read more

Characterless hotel, but very handy for exploring Bordeaux on foot. Friendly staff. The floors with the bedrooms did not smell very fresh

Genuine Expedia guest review

building works woke us up very early next morning. Not a pleasant night's sleep.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good overall- breakfast had a reasonable choice as well- good hotel within walking distance of the Cathedral

Genuine Expedia guest review

excellent Hotel did what it says on the tin! very clean rooms at a compeditive rate. Although not in main town it was still very close. You had a nice local square with small bars and restaurants only 2 mins from the hotel with the main old town only 20 mins walk. We recommend the excellent trams which run every few mins and get you into the nightlife […] of this lovely french town in a few mins. Good secure parking made a stop for one night if your on a budget. Skip the hotel breakfast though and nip down to the square!!!! PS use your GPS to find!!!! easy:) Read more

The check in receptionist spoke English which was helpful. Our room was clean, however had to call for a replacement kettle as ours was dirty. This was rectifed quickly by a pleasant housekeeper. We visited reception to confirm whether breakfast was included in our rate (as we suspected it was but couldn't remember). We were advised it wasnt and the […] breakfast cost was advised to us. We had breakfast elsewhere, only to be informed on checkout that breakfast was, in fact, included after all. This was very disappointing as the room was Pre-paid so no compensation could be offered. The service in the restaurant was not very professional. On three separate occasions we were asked for our room number. There was no communication between staff members. On the first night of our stay, we noticed the shower taps were leaking. We called reception to advise and the gentleman who visited the room advised that it could not be fixed until morning. However, upon waking the next day, our entire hotel room was completely flooded with an inch of water. We stepped out of bed into a pool. Reception came quickly to the room to look at the issue and asked "would you like a new room". We were given a new key quickly however no further compensation of consideration was given to the state of our belongings. (fortunetly just our shoes were on the ground so we had soggy shoes that day.) Read more

If you walk into this hotel at night you may be disappointed by the entrance. It is not grand at all. You have to take a small elevator up one floor or walk up the stairs to the lobby. There is no door man or security guard at street level. The lobby is functional and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. This hotel was surprisingly comfortable. […] The room was large. The bathroom and toilet were 2 separate rooms. The bed and pillows were comparable to those in similar or higher rated hotels. The buffet breakfast was adequate (cold foods were fine but eggs lacked flavour and texture). The hotel was conveniently located right on the tram line, providing access all over the city. The tram transportation is economical, speedy, and modern. We enjoyed our stay and would return there in the future. Read more

Had a great stay. Restaurant was nice also though a touch pricey.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is overpriced for what it offers. There is no parking on site: it is in a public facility next door at normal public rates. The common areas are very crowded and the corridor by my room had a very bad smell. The hotel is hard to find and is surrounded by constructio works at present (July 2012).

Going to a rugby match. Hotel is well located between the centre and the stadium. It was clean and reasonably priced. My only problem was with the food. We arrived late and ordered from the bar. Seemed ok at first, but was not cooked through (still frozen in centre). This led to tummy trouble for the weekend which ruined an otherwise great trip.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had called by telephone to book the hotel as through the site I could only book a room with a double bed and sofa bed and I wanted a twin room. When I spoke with the agent I was put on hold while the hotel was called directly to confirm a twin room. The confirmation was clearly written in the hotel confirmation 'a twin room with two proper beds confirmed […] with Benedict'. However, when myself and my sister arrived late on April 27th we were told there were only rooms with queen beds and sofa beds and despite the girl who had confirmed the two signle beds being the girl we spoke to when we arrived it took some time for me to resolve the issue and get what we had been promised. That said I must recommend Chloe who stepped in to help resolve the issue and was excellent throughout our stay. There was also a young guy working in the bar who delivered great service. Overall our stay was fine, despite a rocky start, but I do not think i would choose to stay here again if I was in Bordeaux. Read more

Very disappointed with our recent stay at Novotel Bordeaux Meriadeck. The building work that is going on in the adjacent building and woke us up at 8.45 on the Monday morning really needs to be bought to the attention of people looking to stay here. The hammer drill was particularly annoying. We asked to move rooms which we did but we could still hear […] the noise from the back of the hotel. The rooms could do with a thorough clean the carpet in the second room was filthly and the decor very dated and the mini bar prices - 3.00 euro for a small bottle of water - incredible!I would not consider staying here again.

The hotel and staff were very good however the carpet could have been cleaner and we had to ask for tea and milk which was not refreshed each day

This hotel gives very good value considering the excellent location for strolling into Bordeaux centre.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is our fourth stay as we drive to and from the Algarve and the staff this time excelled themselves in as much as we had broken our Sat Nav and the staff were only too willing to help us by printing us off a detailed map to get us back to Calais and for that we give them a big thanks. The restaurant for dinner and breakfast were first class as again […] were the staff. The room was very comfortable and clean as has been the case on all our stays. Read more

Location is decent being only a 10-15 mins walk to reach the river. I recommend getting the bus/tram pass fro a day or a week depending on how long you are staying. We enjoyed just hopping on or off bus/trams whenever you want to get around. Hotel was fairly new or had been renovated recently. Clean enough and maintained. Only complaint was that 1 […] day the cleaner was still working on our room at 530pm. We basically had to hide out in the lobby for about an hour. Internet is free and included in the price we paid. only went out for half a day on a Sunday. They push the breakfast but the Auchan Supermarche is 5 min walk through the park out the back side of the hotel. It's the anchor tenant of a big mall and we prefer to pick up some basics instead. Closed Sundays. extra charge at the end of for City tax. not sure it was valid since the clerk seemed like they didn't know what they were doing but wasn't so much assuming it was over 5 nights to really bother arguing but still odd since usually, hotels.com covers everything.

Good points: the hotel and the room were clean, modern and what we expected. It was a nice walk to the town centre (excellent architecture to admire), the (public, adjacent to the hotel) car park was safe. Room for improvement: the reception staff were efficient and polite but could have been friendlier. There was no human touch (and the same was true […] of our stay a week later at the Novotel Rouen). Overall a great stop off hotel that we'd recommend. Read more

Good hotel which is let down by smelly drains, tired decor and restrictive wifi. Wifi didn't allow skype useage which was a bit off putting for a future stay. This hotel didn't live up to Novotel standards that I've experienced in the past. The breakfast which was included went down very well. A great range of foods (continental) with some eggs, bacon […] and sausage available. Staff overal were very friendly and efficient. We're not impressed generally with the Bordeaux tourist tax (about €1.45 per person)upon departure when checking out. :-( Read more

the blonde short haired receptionist was incredibly rude and more interested in her dinner and the internet in the back room than providing us with the welcome taht would/should be expected.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Exactly as expected. Location is 5-10 mins walk to the main shopping area and Place des Victoires, which is in University area with bars etc. 10 mins walk to the river and quais, with plenty of squares and restaurants en route. Check-in fast and friendly. Room was a standard type for Novotel - comfortable bed, spacious en suite (great shower!) and […] air con. Good value! Nice veranda area in hotel bar for drinks too!

Overall we were disappointed with this hotel. The children's play room was nice, but although there were many signs indicating parents must supervise their children, I was usually the only parent in the room -- full of wildly behaved children without a parent in sight! The elevator was not in service while we were there which was inconvient. But, the […] worst was the ongoing renovations on the floor above us. There was constant hammering/sawing all day long. I eventually complained to the front desk about the noise at 6:30pm and they shut-down for the evening. This drove us crazy when traveling with small children needing an afternoon nap. Read more

We got to Bordeaux having booked a Novotel thinking it would mean a certain standard that we had come to expect having stayed at a couple of other Novotels in England.....we were seriously disappointed....the reception is fine, clean and smart looking but the room was something else.....it clearly hasn't seen a lick of paint since the 70's and was really […] dirty....My one year old daughter was crawling around and handed me at least 3/4 clumps of hair from the floor. The bathroom looked ok but neither the shower nor the tap worked so cleaning yourself was tricky!!! The room service food was expensive and horrible and when we tried to explain to the receptionist as we checked out about the broken tap and shower she was clearly uninterested. All in all a very unpleasant experience I hope no-one else has to suffer. Read more

L'acceuil a été parfait, la propreté de l'hotel et de la chambre irréprochable.Le seul point noir, le petit déjeuner, aucune organisation, j'ai du débarrasser la table moi même, la vaisselle sale est restée près de nous sans que personne ne s'en occupe. J'ai cherché une tasse propre pendant dix minutes avant de pouvoir m'approcher du buffet qui était […] presque vide. Le prix demandé pour cette prestation me paraît exagéré par rapport à la qualité proposée. Read more

El hotel me pareción muy aceptable. La unica pega es que desayunabamos en el bar y además de tener que avisar en recepción para que vinera alguien an atendernos es que había que esperar mucho para tomar un cafe y un par de unidades de bollería.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel agréable - mini-bar bien approvisionné, chambre confortable et calme, mais : quelques cheveux de la précédente voyageuse dans la salle de bains (une brune à cheveux mi-longs). Petit déjeuner digne d'un 4* sauf que : pas de couvert ce jour pour tout le monde! et pas de petits pains au chocolat.
