Cozy and charming. On the bus line and very near the tram lines. An excellent variety of restaurants and shopping toward the river. The front desk person was fabulous and gave us exactly the best things to see and do. The breakfast was very nice and the service was very good!

We enjoyed the property very much and had an excellent stay. People with limited mobility may not appreciate the tight winding stairs. They do have a room on the first floor that you would want to request if that’s an issue. After 10 o’clock it was perfectly quiet in the room. There is some street noise in the afternoon with the windows open.

A very lovely little, typically French hotel (lovely furniture and fittings) tucked away down a side street, just a short walk away from the historic centre and tram connections (literally a 5 min walk from airport tram stop to the hotel) - and useful for going to City du Vin, the amazing WW2 submarine bunkers and nearby food court. We had the ground floor room, which doesn't have a balcony, but does have very good double glazing and a shutter to keep out the light at night. We slept very well there. Bathroom is clean, nicely finished and shower very good. Excellent breakfasts typically French (croissant or pain au chocolat, bread, good coffee/tea, orange juice, plain yogurt, cheese and ham plate). Staff are lovely, speak some English (so some French is useful). We were there when temperatures were around the 30C mark and were very comfortable in our room with the aircon.

Absolutely nothing. We really enjoyed our stay 3 night stay there.

Just at the beginning of the center, so you can walk from one end to the other and get a perfect perspective. Amazingly warm and informative owner who is passionate about making sure her clients are happy, but she wasn't always there. However, she gave us her personal cell number if we needed anything and encouraged us to call.

Room floor seemed sandy, breakfast room had croissant crumbs in a wide area and the staff just walked on by. In fact she wasn't much of a smiling person. Muescli container remained at rock bottom our entire stay, as did the fresh fruit offering of 1 apple, 1 mushy banana and a kiwi. Funny was one 8 yr old who came down to breakfast at least 5 minutes before his parents, obviously excited to see the breakfast buffet, and looked at it, kept shaking his head and threw up his hands in disbelief!

This B&B, although a bit distant to the train station Saint-Jean, is conveniently located at the city center on the quiet side street of Rue Boulan and very close to the large supermarket at Meriadeck from/to where one can take the tram on line A to/from the airport. We walked everywhere in Bordeaux except when we visited Cite du Vin, Halles de Bacalan, and Bassins des Lumieres with tram line B. One other nice thing about its location is that it is very close to the Musee des Beaux-Arts. The building and the room had lots of character and the breakfast, which was customized according to the preferences of the guests, was held at the ground floor and was very good in terms of French standards; we always left full. There are also complimentary tea and coffee with the suitable machines in the room. Most importantly, our hostess Laetitia was very helpful and provided lots of information on places to visit and eat. On our final day, we were also able to leave our luggage after check-out and return later to pick them up. We highly recommend this place to those who would like to stay at the city center yet reach the airport with the tram.

I cannot say enough about Au Coeur de Bordeaux B&B. The room's antique furnishings made us feel like we were really in an old mansion which has lots of charm. The hostess (manager) Letitia was super wonderful and accomodating to all our needs. We picked this place since it was within a 3 minute walk of the Musée des Beaux Arts and as well as the parking and a great restaurant. One couldn't choose a better hotel right in the middle of the old town of Bordeaux. The breakfast was equally perfect.

There's not one thing we didn't like. We will definitely go back when we're in the area.

We reallly enjoyed our stay at this charming B and B. It is in an old but beautifully appointed house. The family room was large and light. There was actually a separate room attached with 2 twin beds for our son. Breakfast was in the pretty living room and we enjoyed having a pot of coffee with hot milk. The staff was very helpful and kind. No elevator, so just pack light! The location was great and we were able to walk many places and the cathedral was just a few blocks away.

The breakfast was good.

There were no toiletries in the bathroom- no shampoo, no conditioner and no face soap. The shower stall had something in a dispenser but after 3 squirts it was empty and not refilled and we were there 3 nights.

Staff was wonderful and so accommodating. Laetitia not only waited for us to arrive as we got in late our first day, she also packed a wonderful "to go" breakfast for us on the day of our departure since we were leaving early. During our stay the breakfast staff was so helpful and friendly. The building itself was beautiful and felt like a true French hotel. Easy to walk to all of the beautiful places in Bordeaux, great food steps away, close to the tram, and everything one could hope for! We hope to return someday!

That we had to leave.

Location and ability to park car securely nearby (€12 a night)

Breakfast was very poor even by French standards

Location was perfect, close to tram and bus routes. Owner and other staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. My room was stuffy and windows opened, but as it was on street level I wouldn't be able to leave it open during the night. It was March, so it was OK. I'm not sure it would be bearable in the summer as the aircon does not work.

My room was downstairs by the front door and opened onto the reception and breakfast area. It was noisy around breakfast time and with people coming and going. I was only there for 2 nights, so it was manageable. Breakfast was OK, if you are expecting a large hotel buffet style with multiple choices, then this hotel is not for you.
