Hotel Bordeaux Clemenceau by HappyCulture

The location of this hotel was a pleasant surprise. It’s at the top of the best shopping street in town and it goes all the way to the river. |It’s inside an historic building that’s been refurbished resulting in some small and strangely shaped rooms. |I booked for only two nights but ended up staying four very comfortably. My room was a single which, unfortunately meant a single bed. Due to the shape of the room it made sense but I think a double up against the wall would have fit easily enough. While I slept well, I’ll check the booking more carefully next time.|There was a work desk, luggage rack, open wardrobe, TV, free WiFi and kettle with tea & coffee. There was a delightful view from the opening, full length windows.|The washroom was small but efficient. The shower was good, the toiletries good quality and the towels were soft.|The receptionists were all lovely and helpful. Breakfast is available onsite for a fee. Complimentary coffee was available all day from the machine in the lobby and in the morning pastries were also on offer.|I walked everywhere easily, with public transport and many restaurants and shops nearby. This was a great base for my first time in Bordeaux and I would stay here again.

This hotel's business model is based on rip-offs! We requested a change to our reservation for one night about six months in advance, as we won't be in Bordeaux at that originally booked date after all – the request was rejected without comment and the full price is being charged for cancellation, with no concession being made here either. And this despite the fact that there were still rooms available for the date of our stay, as could be clearly seen on Booking.com. The full price for simply no service! We strongly advise against booking this hotel!

Bordeaux is such a walkable city and this hotel is in a great location, close to all the must-see landmarks, restaurants, shopping as well as trams. The room was small but perfect for one, with everything I needed. The staff were extremely friendly, spoke English to me when I said I couldn't speak French and happily agreed to store my bag when I arrived early but my room wasn't ready. I'd highly recommend this hotel, it was perfect for my 2 days in Bordeaux.

Location is very good and is directly across the road from the car park which was very convenient.Also the price was very reasonable for the centre of the city. However the double room we were given was particularly small and poorly laid out, it was difficult to walk around the bed and the toilet was squeezed between a wall and the sink. I personally would not stay here for more than 2 nights due to the room size.

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.

We had a great stay at the Hotel Clemenceau. The location was perfect, the rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Staff were welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Merci especially to Frida, who hosted us at breakfast each morning, for making us feel at home.

This was a seriously disappointing hotel. I am surprised Expedia has it on their books. The double room was extremely small as was the bathroom. You could just about get round the end of the bed to go to the bathroom or exit the room. The corridors were scruffy and the upstairs breakfast room was small and cramped. However the breakfast was good. We were so dissatisfied with the hotel that we checked out the following day despite having paid for a second night. We checked in a much better hotel close by at little more cost. Without doubt our worst stay with Expedia.
