Hotels Near Cité du Vin in Bordeaux

Good location, very easy to commute to the rest of the town. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The only issue we faced was the air conditioning. Overall, a great stay!

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).

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.

This is the second time we came to this apartment. This time we found the suite quite narrow. Furthermore, the one that was reserved was under the roof and without a ventilator while it was up to 42°C. The hotel's staff, very charming and serviceable, agreed to change our suite, a floor below, with a fan. We learned that there are two other locations in this chain nearby with air-conditioning. To think for the next time.

Everything, the room, bed, bathroom. Situation was just off the main route, felt secure with passcode gates. Welcome was good and share of info was good. The garden was lovely, very spacious, with two gite units at the bottom. Breakfast was tasty, served in a glass conservatory. Back on the road at 8:30 after breakfast.

This must rate as the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in.The advert on Booking.com says refurbished, unfortunately they don't tell you in what century . The hotel looked freshly painted in their photo but on arrival the outside including stairs were black with mildew and the stairs were slippery. Arrived at 4.30pm to find reception shut and had to check in via a machine outside. When reception opened there wasn't any English speaking staff although they boast ”we speak your language”. On accessing our room we were speechless. Apart from being incredibly small, the curtain was hanging by 2 hooks, the 1 small window was not secure. The radiator was filthy and the aircon unit was wedged on top of a tiny clothes cubicle and was so filthy we did not dare use it. The bedside lamp was hanging off, The toilet would only flush if it was thumped and a hole was where we supposed the extractor fan should have been. This accommodation is definately one to wipe your feet on leaving. Consider it a health and safety hazard and find somewhere better.

Located in an industrial area, the hotel has free and secure parking. Quality welcome upon our arrival. The room has a 160 bed, it is well laid out, good bedding. Sufficient heating. Beautiful presentation for breakfast costs 14 euros, it is worth it. The bread is excellent, the quality products, the managers are professional and respond immediately to customer requests if there are any. The restaurant was not open this January 3, we were not able to try it but the menu seems interesting. A good address when you have a car.

We chose to stay at the Kyriad Direct Bordeaux Sud-Cestas for a number of reasons. It was conveniently located just off of A63, giving us handy access to the motorway. It was a direct route from our stay in Bayonne and far enough out of Bordeaux centre to make it more affordable. As it was, it put us in the centre of the region, allowing us access to more than just a visit to the city. We were approximately, twenty minutes from the Bordeaux city centre and as we chose to visit the Dunes of Pilat, about 35 minutes away. Having a car allows you more access to more options. This motel is located in the town of Cestas, which has all the facilities, gas stations, shops, etc., so you are not isolated. This is a fairly large establishment, I think seventy one rooms, and as it is a motel, parking is available right out in front of the rooms. A feature that we like. The rooms are ample in size, clean, comfortable, as are the beds/pillows, and the bathroom does what it needs to do. There is free wifi included, and tv and air-conditioning in each room. There is a good breakfast buffet available for a nominal fee. We didn't eat breakfast there, so cannot give it more comment than that. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant as well. Also, access to the property has security in place after hours. A two day visit does border on a whirlwind course, but we made the most of it. The first day we drove into Bordeaux, parked and did a walking tour of the Old Town. Bordeaux (Port of the Moon) was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007. It has over 362 historic monuments, making it second only to Paris in this regard One activity that we did was a boat tour on the Garonne, SAS Yacht De Bordeaux. For a cost of 19euro , we enjoyed an informative, relaxing boat ride along the Garonne. Taste of the regions wine was included. The next day we drove out see the Grande Dune du Pilat, the tallest sand dune in Europe. This is a must to see. A visit to Bordeaux is well worth it and, I think our choice of staying at the Kyriad Direct Bordeaux Sud, one that we will repeat.

This has been the worst hotel, we have visited and we have visited lots of hotels all over the world. The pictures on the internet look nice and I have to say that we were welcomed very friendly. After that, everything went down hill fast. The property is very outdated and needs immediate renovation. Stains in carpet, paint is off the woodwork, and the hotel smells like the windows have been closed since 1992. The bathroom was up to date, if you were in the hotel in 1994. However, on a positive note: the bed was good. The price of the room including breakfast is way too much for the quality you get. You get the feeling that the owners are squeezing out every euro without investing anything in the property. This feeling is stressed by the fact that housekeeping “forgot” to clean our room. The chairs in the restaurant were broken (see pictures). Housekeeper from Tunesia was very friendly and helpful. The main restaurant is closed and we needed to eat in the bar of the golfclub. Breakfast was okay but nobody of the staff was there to greet you and to refill the buffet. The price of € 19 per person was too high. Flexibility in service (we wanted to have a burger for dinner as we had a good lunch somewhere else earlier) was not there. We could only order a burger as part of a 3 course dinner and not only a burger. Really? Avoid the “hotel” (I am not sure if this qualifies as hotel, because I could not find hospitality anywhere) at all costs.

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.
