Hotel Konti by HappyCulture
The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. They had the option for breakfast, but you have to pay. We wanted to explore more, we decided to have breakfast somewhere else, the location was perfect to do that. Many restaurants to choose from.

ibis Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck
Excellent staff at reception. Rooms fine. Very convenient. Service staff using the guest lifts before check-out time causes a log jam with very long waits , but besides that, all good.
