Hotel Bordeaux Clemenceau by HappyCulture

Great location. Friendly service. The room (and shower/toilette) were small, but the bed was incredibly comfortable. It would be nice to have a mini-fridge available. The breakfast on the 4th floor was good. Delicious meats, bakery/pastry items, etc.

The hotel is in an excellent location. Rooms have everything needed for a city break. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful both at Reception and at breakfast. Frieda and Pati are very attentive, helpful and considerate. serving breakfast which is very good.

On the plus side: 1. the hotel desk staff was very friendly and helpful; 2. the location in old downtown Bordeaux is interesting and scenic, with shops featuring produce, wine, chocolate, bread and pastries, many cafes, and fascinating public fountains and sculptures. Arriving by car was difficult, with some grid-locked traffic points. On the minus side: 1. the room is quite small, but the bed is in good condition, and the bathroom is clean and functional; there are two small hard chairs, and a ledge serves as a desk; there is a nice balcony; 2. the elevator is slow, with room for 4 people without luggage, 3. the breakfast was OK, but not nearly as good as several much cheaper hotels on this trip -- no hot food was offered, 4. the parking is in a 7 level underground garage across the street with a steep and narrow spiral ramp, and we had to find it by guess-work; parking with the hotel discount is 18 euro per day 5. the lobby has minimal seating, three people maximum, the front desk, and a complimentary coffee machine. If I were doing this again, I would book a suburban chain hotel with free parking, and use public transit (the street cars look comfortable and efficient, but we did not try them) and Uber rides to go downtown.

Terrible hotel! No lobby or bar to speak of, tiny rooms for three people, tiny bathroom. The air con was pathetic. Don’t bother with breakfast! The only good thing to speak of was the man in reception who was very helpful. No way should this be 210 euros for one night. We’ve had better experiences in budget hotels! Maybe I was expecting too much?

Very poor! The room was tiny and the bathroom no bigger than a postage stamp. I am 6 foot 5 inches and do found the roof far too low! We were on floor four next to the cafe and the noise in the morning it was horrendous and there was a smell coming from the public toilet the whole time. We paid 210 euros for one night and not worth the money! The pictures on the website make it look far nicer than it really is! Not a good experience.

Great position to explore Bordeaux. Easy access to shopping, trams and highlights of the city. Rooms are a good size and the breakfast was satisfactory. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would return again if in Bordeaux

I am giving one star solely because of the breakfast experience of this place. Do not pay the breakfast, is the suckiest breakfast I’ve experienced in a hotel. If you’re going to offer this option put some effort into it because it’s borderline disrespectful to guests. I stayed over a four days period and got to see how it declined in options everyday, it was obvious that they would use left over from the previous days and by the last day I was there, your options had reduced by half basically, you had some mini croissants , pieces of baguettes , cherry tomatoes some hams and some cheeses, the bread toaster broke and the woman who manages the breakfast (who I may add is extremely dislikable) left mid shift to go buy more croissants (that’s how little options they had) and left the place unattended. I wanted to drink water and there wasn’t any available, had to end up getting water from the tap of a kitchen I don’t think I was supposed to get access to. When the dislikable woman came back she came back shouting: Who wants croissant?! You would think we were staying at 30€ a night hostel. A positive highlight is the desk employees are actually very friendly and helpful so shoutout to them.

This hotel has a good Location. However, we had a serious problem in our room. We already did a complaint about the awful smell in our bathroom and nobody did anything. We are very unsatisfied.
