As a small middle-aged lady, I am always conscious of my personal security. Having been a little concerned at Hotel Life's location so close to Gare Saint Jean, the tram stop outside the door let me feel safe travelling alone at night. And it was extremely convenient for travelling into the centre with all its attractions, the river for boat tours and glorious walks, and connecting with the other tramlines.

My room looked very small when I walking in on the first day. However, it was perfectly functional and had plenty of space for me on my own. The bed was big and comfortable. I lounged there while using my laptop, with chargers conveniently built into the headboard. The shower cubicle in the corner was sufficiently spacious for me, no elbow bumping. Initially a slight smell came from the drain but that disappeared after I poured some of my lemon drink down. The separate toilet cubicle was well enclosed so no sounds or smells emerged. Close to the bed an easy-opening window meant I could enjoy fresh air day and night.

We liked almost everything about the hotel. The location is walkable to the old city, there is also a tram stop right in front of it, which is very convenient. The staff is amazing, super attentive and supportive. They have a positive attitude towards any request. The room was cosy and clean. We loved the common space too, which is well decorated and comfy. There is a co-working space as well and they let us stay there before our bus left at midnight. If you arrive too early before the check in, there is a shower you can use. Overall, we loved that the hotel staff was so welcoming and friendly and they create such a comfortable environment for guests. I will definitely stay there again when I visit Bordeaux next time.

Nothing!

Very clean, everything in perfect working order, generous breakfast and friendly staff. Easy walking distance from the station. Great value for money. It was a relief to stay there after staying in the hotel from hell the previous night.

Not really a criticism of the location because I purposely booked something within walking distance of the station, but if you've y looking for something close to the action in Bordeaux, this isn't really it. That said, it's not that far to walk (unencumbered by luggage) and it's on the tramline for those who'd like a transport option. A mentioned earlier, all facilities were in good working order, but one very minor criticism is that the layout was odd -- it was cleverly compact, but strange. Not really a problem.

The hotel is beautiful, is about 10 min walking from the Train Station and just crossing the street to the tram that takes you to City downtown in just 2-3 stops. The bedrooms were so spacious, we got 2 single bedrooms and 1 double bedroom and all of them were very good! The staff were so friendly and the breakfast sooo goood, after two weeks of traveling, having a good breakfast (not only coffee and pastries) is food for your soul. I definitely recommend it! Side note: We request a Taxi to the Airport (a huge one as we had a lot of luggage and we were 4), the price charged was 100 euros; the driver told us that the Taxi company blah blah and that was the price, we´ll never know, just a side note for you to consider if you want to order a taxi to airport at the end of your stay.

I loved everything about this hotel. The location was perfect, just a few tram stops from the centre of Bordeaux, with the tram stop just outside the door. The staff were so helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The decor of the hotel is very modern with loads of space to relax and chill out just off reception. The bedroom, whilst small, had everything I needed. Good selection to choose from for breakfast. Would definitely use this hotel again if back in Bordeaux.

They're was nothing I disliked, although I could see that having the shower in the bedroom might be an issue if sharing, also the room might be a little too cosy for 2 people.

Very good location, easy to reach the train station. The tram runs just below the windows, making it very convenient to get to the city center and anywhere else in the city. The room is clean and well-balanced, though a bit small for a family with one child, but overall, it's very well thought out

The room is too small for a family with a small child. The breakfast is a bit strange – not a single green leaf in the entire kitchen. I mean, it's the easiest way to improve digestion, but they even have comb honey and still don't offer a salad. Facepalm...

Beautiful boutique eco style hotel , immaculate decor and mod cons . rooms small but perfectly functional for two people , absolutely loved the style of the room and hotel . Tram directly outside was perfect . Lovely and quiet . Air con was great And the bed was super comfy

No tea and coffee facilities in the room and coffee / tea / water quite expensive in the bar . Location was excellent especially with the tram but it did feel a little dangerous and intimidating after midnight with lots of homeless people in the area. However , the tram directly outside meant it was safe enough to explore until 1am

location is directly outside of a tram stop leading to central Bordeaux and is also just down road "around 5 minutes walk" from Bordeaux main rail station, I did not have breakfast but looked ok from what I saw staff were accommodating and friendly letting us keep our bags in luggage room while we explored the city on the last day before going home.

there could have been more coffee machines or facilities as there were none in the room so for us on the top floor we had to go down to reception to get a coffee which is a pain in morning i ended up just going out for a coffee at this point.

It was super good, the staff was amazing and helped with everything we needed, gave us some nice recommendations about the city. It is just in front of the tram stop which despite the location feels very safe. During the day, the city centre is in comfortable walkable distance. The room was very clean and quite modern. Delicious breakfast with cool things like chia pudding or fresh orange juice. And the best part was the coworking place! Perfect wifi, nice for work

Very small room with shower in the room, however it was not any problem for a work trip

Very central location with a tram just outside with easy access to the centre of town. It must be less than 5 minutes. The staff were very friendly and the room clean and a decent size. Reception is bright and welcoming.

The car parking was a little strange. The site states there are limited spaces and cannot be reserved prior to arrival. When we arrived it seemed like they share the underground parking with the Novotel hotel next door. The spaces were marked but there seemed to be only around 10 spaces. As a family traveling home through France we definitely needed the space - as it was it wasn't an issue as there was a space available.
