Best Western Premier Hotel Bayonne Etche Ona - Bordeaux

“Excellent Value, Excellent Location”

Quaint hotel with an air of Art Deco elegance. Situated in a quiet yet very convenient location. Lovely reception area and pleasant staff. While the rooms are standard size, they are nicely appointed, very clean and quite comfortable. An excellent choice for any type of visit to Bordeaux.

“Très bien!”

Really nice hotel in an amazing location to explore the city. It is easily accessed by the tram from right outside Bordeaux airport – tram line A, stop Hotel Du Vin is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel and excellent value at $1.70 per person.

Really nice hotel in an amazing location to explore the city. It is easily accessed by the tram from right outside Bordeaux airport – tram line A, stop Hotel Du Vin is only a 10 minute walk from the hotel and excellent value at $1.70 per person. The journey itself takes around 40 minutes. The rooms are quite small but typical for a European hotel in a city location. The shower, AC, bed and coffee making facilities were all more than adequate. We didn’t have breakfast here but were spoilt for choice with the number of cafes and boulangeries within walking distance. The staff were warm and inviting and even provided us with an umbrella when we had a few rainy days. They were also happy to hold our luggage on the last day as our flight wasn’t until the evening.

“Comfort and location”

My wife and I stayed here on our 1 night in Bordeaux. The location is ideal in the old city. It easy was to walk to the rice Rand see the sights. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

“Fabulous, Central Location But Poor Communication”

We stayed a couple of nights at the Best Western Premier Hotel in Bordeaux. Its best feature was the fabulously central location, in the heart of old Bordeaux. We were only minutes away from the main square, the Place de la Comedie, and we could easily walk to all the main sights. We also had lots of choices for restaurants and bars in the evening and hotel staff gave us a couple of good recommendations. The room, while not huge, was of a comfortable enough size and more importantly, was very quiet at night. It also had a bar-fridge (very handy) and coffee machine (although no kettle for tea). The bathroom was spacious and clean, with a nice deep, triangular bath. However there was no separate shower and you had to step into the bath to use the hand-held shower piece. Whilst this is normal in many cheaper hotels, it was a little unexpected here. TWO HOTEL LOCATIONS: It is worth noting that that the hotel is split between two locations on two different streets. It was not until we arrived with our bags and tried to check in that we discovered that we were at the other hotel, around the corner. There was nothing for it but to drag our bags back downstairs and around the cobbled street to find our room. Later, I found one email (which I had missed because it was sent the day of our arrival), informing us that there were two hotel sites. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late. This was a frustrating process which could have been easily avoided with good communication. I’d have expected better. TIP FOR DRIVERS: Although parking is available, the hotel charges extra for this and in any case, navigating the city is tricky and the narrow cobbled streets mean that you can’t drive to the door of the hotel. Bordeaux is a very walkable city so we found it easier to return the hire car to the rental place on the city outskirts and catch a taxi to the hotel. We didn’t miss the car at all during our stay here.
