I booked this thinking it was a better option than the Radisson in Bordeaux. I regret not choosing the other hotel. The room was fine, the staff were fine but the overall experience was less than fine. Issues with the room, issues with being charged for drinks that weren’t mine, no ability to buy water (bar closed and no free bottle left in my room on any of the days). I booked this with a discount code but it was still overly expensive for the experience. Better value hotels out there I think. I had fond memories of Novotel travelling to France with my family in the early 90’s. - I probably wouldn’t book again with this chain.

We enjoyed having our own terrace. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the in room refrigerator and coffee. We did not eat at the restaurant on-site. The staff was friendly and helpful. They arranged for a taxi to the airport for an early flight ($70 taxi fare). There is a supermarket around the corner for snacks, wine, etc to enjoy on your terrace. The train station is an easy 6 minute walk. There is a tram that stops in front of the hotel. We bought a 24 hour pass for $5 each. The shopping area is fun here. We did our own day trip to St Emillion which was fun. We would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is one tram station or a 7 minutes walk away from the main train station. All major landmarks can be reached by tram or foot. While the rooms look newly renovated at first sight, some parts like the toilets or elevators definetely were not. The towels were of poor quality. Depending on which staff member is sitting at the réception desk, you are either being greeted in a friendly way, or not being looked at at all. The lady who checked us in and out was great, though. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not meet our expectations, as it was not up to date in terms of nutritions and variety.
