Hotels Near Cru Art Museum in Bordeaux

This hotel is not a hotel. It is more a hostel. At hotel prices. It is dirty. It stank when we got there, of nothing I'd ever experienced before. And I've spent many a night backstage at music festivals. It is hot. It has one window which can be opened and it needs to be open as otherwise you are in a sauna. And that's with the windows facing north. Heaven help those on the other side of the place, no really, I am worried about you. Because of the open window, even with the shutter closed, no air comes in but what you do get is noise, doors slamming all night long, loud horrendous music from their bar. Or you don't shut the shutter and leave the room open at ground level to anyone wanting to dive right in. It is priced at hotel prices. It is not eco. In any way. Being eco means designing a building to be suitable for use in an ecological fashion. This place is badly designed, badly fitted out, has no amenities and is just a cheap and nasty hostel. By the way, we also got bitten by a plague of things from the moment we got there to the moment we left. We should have gone after the first night but you live and learn. Such a fantastic city, this place should be condemned. What a waste of money. The only nice bit is the potager plants and herbs on the rear walkway. Which of course you see quite alot of as you don't want to spend any more time than necessary in the actual room. Oh and we couldn't lock the door from the inside, as it had recently been smashed in.

Breakfast 12 Euro / bit, relatively simple, but balanced nutrition, bread, fruit, milk, coffee, tea, eggs, yogurt. The room is ok, two large beds, a balcony facing the small lake, the room has simple kitchen utensils, you can cook, there is a supermarket downstairs. In the evening, we also made hot pot on the balcony. Of course, ingredients and induction cookers should be purchased in Chinese supermarkets. The bathroom area is also OK, the bath water is very hot, and it is quite uncomfortable for the fatigue of the day. The parking lot downstairs is also quite big, next to a small lake, running well in the morning. The overall surrounding environment is quiet and suitable for rest.

If you don’t have a car this place is not for you. It’s out of the way for public transport. There are quite a few restaurants dotted about within a five minutes drive but not really anything within walking distance. There’s a big shopping centre too with an Auchan for supplies. We had a car and used this hotel for a base for visiting lots of different cities, towns etc and was brilliantly located for us. The plentiful and free parking was an extra bonus. Check in was easy and staff friendly. Room was bigger than expected and clean. There was plenty of utensils, plates etc to use in the small kitchenette. Everything was a bit dated but in good order. The only two problems were that there was no shower curtain/screen and the fuse box on the wall had no cover so looked ugly. The bed was comfortable and the hotel was a good place to use as a base. Overall the place was perfectly fine for the price as long as you aren’t using public transport. Nothing special but worth the price paid

We stayed here for 3 nights as a base to visit Bordeaux. From the outside the hotel does not look like much and google maps took us through a questionable part of town to get here. Less central than the centre would imply this hotel is about 15-minute walk from the main part of Bordeaux however it is very close to the tram and a shopping centre/mall. The room was comfortable and a typical size room for novotel. The hotel internally looks recently renovated and have a reusable water bottle system in place however its only 1 per room and there was 2 of us.

We stayed here last weekend. From arrival to departure, we found the staff to be extremely friendly and professional. We arrived towards the end of service for dinner on Saturday but this wasn’t a problem, we were served efficiently and the food was superb. Choice was a little limited - just three choices for each course - but this wasn’t a problem for us as we all found something we liked. Breakfast was excellent though a little pricey, to be honest. 16€ Per person for a breakfast? Rooms were as you would always expect in a Novotel. Very clean and the comfiest bed and pillows. If I have a slight negative it would be to say that I think the public areas, which are beautiful, are maintained to a higher standard than the rooms (paint chipped off of toilet door and blistered plaster above the shower) but I really am splitting hairs here. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would be delighted to returm

The hotel is beautifuly maintained, the staff is great. Continental reakfast at 10 euros is ok but fruits could be improved a bit. I was grateful that they were willing to go find me gluten free bread. Perhaps you could add a few more items to the continental breakfast. Guests should be aware of the location of this hotel. It is a long walk to downtown and while there is a tram within 15 minute walking distance, we did not feel very safe in this area. Not recommend you walk around after dark.

Arrived ok, no problem so far. Checked in, pay up front - ok, not unheard of… Got to the room, the first thing we saw was a tatty bathroom door. It’s obviously been knocked, and the paintwork damaged, also there was water damage to the bottom. This was explained when we used the shower and the spray went over the floor and pooled below the door. The promised bathtub was included, although no plug. Try having a bath without a plug!! The shower was a hand held spray hooked to the wall at waist height. Bizarre. The mirror was damaged at the bottom, the whole room was rather neglected, although it was clean, so these pieces of damage are obviously being ignored. The bedroom had a comfortable bed, although the room was rather dark and poorly lit. Reading wasn’t easy. There was one armchair, in a room for two people (?), a dining room chair and a wooden stool. Unusual mix. The armchair seat was heavily stained (?!). Not tempting to sit in! Quite why we had two fridges in the room was not apparent. Not many sockets were available, and we could only use the kettle by plugging it in under the television. Which was fine as we couldn’t use the television as the remote had no batteries. The hospitality tray was minimally stocked, and when we asked for milk we were told we could go and buy some as the hotel had no milk. Although there was some at breakfast the following day. No doubt we could have bought new batteries too. When paying €300 for two nights, surely a few tablespoons of milk is not a big ask? It was disappointing that the staff couldn’t be bothered to help with such a small request. Breakfast was ok, no hot food available and it was self service. There was a button operated hot drinks machine, with milk available, mini croissants and pains au chocolat, artisan breads, muesli type mix, fruit, yoghurts, one variety of ham and some very bland cheese. The room felt a bit like a hostel dining room with a big animal mural on the wall and the constant drip from an air conditioning unit onto a towel on the floor. The tables and chairs were clean, but the staff - again - uninterested. A good 20 min walk into Bordeaux, which is a beautiful city. Plenty of good places to eat and pleasant staff there. We will definitely come back to Bordeaux, but definitely not to the Victoria Garden!

Good for one or two night. Bed is correct but Space between bed and walls is very little.Professinals are great and discret. Frenchy breakfast makes satisfaction for quality and choice.its a good ”rapport” service/hygien/price.

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.
