Hotels Near Communauté des Carmélites de Bayonne in Aquitaine

The cleaning needs to improve, especially the one who knows Spanish, who is charming, and the one who serves breakfast every day, except for the one who rests, very rude, not at all friendly. We want to come back more often, but there are things to improve. A refrigerator in each room. An ice machine on each floor. More kindness from the people I have mentioned. A 10 for the other two. More professional cleaning. Attend to the repair details. We will return because we know that they will fight to do better. Thank you.

- Hey, I would like to appreciate it because I was extremely disappointed with breakfast. Breakfast from 6:30 to 10:00, pointing at 9:00, the first day there was no choice, and the second day the pans were empty, the apple juice was empty. For the rest, nothing to say ......... the opposite, the room is spacious, and the litter is super, we sleep very well.

Quel dommage que… Il n’y ai pas la possibilité de fermer les portes fenêtre correctement… Nous avions du vent et de la pluie… Il y avait pas de chauffage… Nous sommes le 21 octobre… Tempête et bourrasques de pluie durant deux jours… Je suis un peu déçu… J’étais venu il y a quelques années dans cette même suite… Celle-ci était bien plus jolie. Mais le personnel est d’une gentillesse extrême. J j’étais venu dans l’espoir de retrouver le spa mais malheureusement celui-ci est fermé… Je reviendrai sûrement et espère que ce désagrément… Sera réparé. Dans l’ensemble c’est Hotel est à recommander…

Excellent! Ideal package deal with a view on the trees. Although located in the outskirt of Langon ,commercial area, it s quiet, clean, well designed, in a sense that every detail has a purpose. No less. It s quite a thoughtful hotel brand name, as ,being a hotel chain makes it standardised, and yet, having a welcoming manager creates a soulful place.

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.

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.

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).

Excellent hotel. Everything new. Comfortable bed and mattress. Nice decoration. Bathroom was five stars. Free parking and secure. Staff very friendly and helpful. Didn't have breakfast so I can't tell if it's good. The best hotel I've stayed near the motorway and at a good price

Arrived around noon, were told rooms won't be ready till 3pm, despite requesting early check-in (which is a benefit when booking via Hyatt), so we figured out we will spend some time in the spa and pool. Spa experience was a mess. Staff directed us to the changing rooms, but for some reason didn't provide the bathrobes and slippers. Had to go back to front desk to ask for some. Changing rooms didn't have hairdryers, so again had to go to reception with the wet hair and ask for one. Finally got a room key (note that the extra bed is only possible in Deluxe room). Room was spacious and had a separate bathroom and toilet, toilet walls had mould - not sure how this could be allowed in a luxury hotel. We were coming to celebrate a birthday - on such hotel provided a very generous (of course not) welcome gift of a postcard (wow!) and some unwrapped (sick!) chocolates, for which neither front desk, nor housekeeping had ingredients/allregens list available. Not that I really expected anything, but given we are in the heart of winemaking area, one would think a bottle of wine would be a nice touch, but no. We had a breakfast (again as a part of the arrangement for booking via Hyatt) on the terrace. Selection was of good quality, but pretty limited. Parking was free.
