Great hotel. Modern, clean, quiet, well-furnished, secure; friendly staff; proper breakfast (including hot options like bacon, egg and sausage for the Anglo-Saxons). It's right next to the station, which is usually a reason to avoid any hotel, but in Bordeaux the area isn't so bad. Also they give you a (glass) bottle of water when you check in to cut down on plastic and there is a decent restaurant linked to it, though it looks like they could do with a few more staff. I'll definitely stay here again. (The only criticism I'd make is of the bizarre design of the bedside lights, which are attached to the headboard and can give you a fierce laser-like ray in the eyeball when you switch them on in the night.)
