Ibis Styles Bordeaux Mériadeck

We’ve regularly used Accor hotels during travels and have enjoyed the Styles brand in other cities. For our three night stay this one fell way short of the mark. The location is out of the city centre, a 15 minute walk away. It’s on a busy road, with trams running outside and the Police National building practically next door. So despite the double glazing expect road noise. Car parking is a good 10 minute walk away, unless you can get a space on the public road behind the hotel (you still pay). Arrived to find the steps to the front door taped off so had to walk round to use the disabled ramp. The rooms we had were on the 5th floor and were dated, lacked any character and one of the rooms (504) was tatty and smelt of cigarettes when we arrived. The aircon just about coped with the temperatures of 20 degrees but I’d hate to put it to the test in any hotter weather. Breakfast was mediocre; small pastries, only one coffee machine working, the fresh orange juice machine had a tap that kept falling off making it virtually impossible to operate. It wasn’t much of an offering. The one positive comment is that all the staff we came into contact with were welcoming, helpful and very pleasant. Otherwise, there isn’t anything that would entice me to want to stay at this hotel again.

We stayed for one night and chose the hotel because of its convenient location, on the tram line for the airport, 15 min walk into centre of Bordeaux. Staff were friendly and polite, room was fine for 3 adults, clean and very comfy beds. Breakfast was really good value and there was a great selection. Would def stay again. Much quieter and better value than staying in the centre of the city.

Great hotel if you find yours lad in Bordeaux for work and if you also need access to the tram and to the airport. There’s a nice pool and good food. A little bit away from the city centre but there is access via tram or via taxi- we used an Uber and it was easy

Modern, clean with comfy beds. The photos show the rooms to be larger than what I remember. Tight reception area but adequate. Good breakfast the next morning to get you started. The 'Styles' brand of Ibis seems to be just a little bit better than the regular Ibis. All good.

We chose this hotel for a minibreak due to it being on the tramline from the airport. Disembark at the Gavinies stop, cross the road, turn right and the hotel is only a couple of minutes walk. We arrived at midnight and were warmly welcomed. The young staff spoke French and English. The bedroom was completely adequate, clean, warm, with comfortable beds. Breakfast was buffet style and did get busy one morning. Help yourself to cereal, breads, cheese, ham, croissants, pain au chocolate, pancakes, preserves, yogurt, fruit, hot drinks, fresh orange juice, etc. There did seem to be issues with having enough cutlery and one of the drink machines not working at times. The only negative point was the location. Although quiet and on the tramline there were hardly any bars or restaurants in the area and the hotel restaurant closed at weekends. We had to resort to McDonalds, a 10 minute walk away, one day!

Long weekend in Bordeaux to see Wales in World Cup.Hotel in quiet location 5 mins from tram stops giving easy transport to City attractions .12 euros for 72 hrs travel on Trams and bus excellent service . Air conn good ,small bar area with restaurant . Breakfast continental ok.Overall happy with our stay .Would return.

Clean room. Friendly and helpful reception team. Close to airport with shuttle service. Outside seating to side of restaurant. Chef continually touches face, nose, beard and hair whilst cooking and serving. Very poor hygiene. I will not return.

Didn’t really like this hotel . The double room was tiny, very basic and hot. No T&C facilities. Bathroom also tiny with an inaccessible bath/shower. Needed a good clean. Breakfast simple but okay but only one hot drinks machine working for everyone was a pain. Parking was okay and WiFi was good. I personally would not stay again.
