Ibis Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck

“No complaints, good hotel”

Stayed 2 nights. Great hotel. Staff friendly. Rooms are small (twin room) but ok for 2 nights and very little time spent in hotel. It is a good 10/15 min walk to centre but I’m used to walking. The big advantage is that the tram to and from airport is just outside.

“Great location in a wonderful city”

Firstly the A tram from the airport drops you right beside the hotel. The town centre, bars and restaurants as well as the cathedral etc are all 5 to 10 mins walk away. There's a large shopping centre around the corner as well.and a convenience store across the street. We checked in online and ... more

Firstly the A tram from the airport drops you right beside the hotel. The town centre, bars and restaurants as well as the cathedral etc are all 5 to 10 mins walk away. There's a large shopping centre around the corner as well.and a convenience store across the street. We checked in online and getting our key was simple thought there is another reception for a different ibis on the same floor. We had room 1023 on the 10th floor. It was small and maybe too.small.for 3 of us. However eventhough it was basic it had all we needed. However the room was infested with ants. There were 100s on our bed and table. The staff had the room cleaned and gave us a free breakfast and offered free parking as an apology. The breakfast buffet is plentiful with lots of choice however there's no queues so it can be chaotic with people getting in one another's way. The staff are friendly and there's a nice bar/restaurant attached witha lovely outdoor space. The best part of this hotel though is the location and that alone is a 5/5. We paid 400 euros for 3 nights for 3 people. That's without breakfast. All in all the hotel is basic and the rooms small but the location is perfect. I'd definitely consider going back but the ants problem really was a bit concerning and the room may need pest control called in to fumigate it. The staff were lovely esp the dark haired girl in the bar/restaurant. She was extremely good at her job and a credit to her employer. Bordeaux itself is amazing and to say I fell in love with it is an understatement

“Decent hotel in great location”

Circa 30 minutes by tram from airport and the tram stop is yards from the hotel. Great location for the rugby stadium and city centre - a few minutes walk left or right of the hotel.

Circa 30 minutes by tram from airport and the tram stop is yards from the hotel. Great location for the rugby stadium and city centre - a few minutes walk left or right of the hotel. Rooms adequate with a comfy bed. Breakfast a bit basic but good enough. Weather was warm so we were able to sit outside (nice area) for both breakfast and drinks later. Would stay here again.

“Book the parking; lower floor for wifi and water pressure”

We parked on the curb arrived and realized there’s no ramp for luggage at the budget. You go through the front door of the Ibis red and continue into the lobby of the budget next door but inside.

We parked on the curb arrived and realized there’s no ramp for luggage at the budget. You go through the front door of the Ibis red and continue into the lobby of the budget next door but inside. People were very nice. Young tiny brunette girl, Maeva, penned out a complete itinerary for us to walk and tram in Bordeaux. So nice. She lugged our baggage into a locked room for us before we could get our room. The rooms are tiny. Even though we booked a triple with a double bed, we got one bath and one face towel. There was a tv that was unplugged, no outlet next to the beds. I replugged the tv and looked way up under it to find one electric outlet. The only other one is in the hall outside an unnecessary inner door that serves the bedroom AND the bathroom. Just a normal bathroom door would make it easier to use the only other electric outlet on the hall wall. Luckily we have several extension cords that we tripped over during our stay. The wifi on floor 5 is too weak to use, but the views and distance from street noise is nice. The breakfast is bad, very crowded, pastries, processed cereal, waffle, crepes. No cheese, no eggs at all. The parking is around the block under the hotel. It’s pretty roomy for a European parking lot. Interior elevators take you to the lobby. For €75 and parking price, it’s a deal. Don’t expect anything extra.
