Hotels Near Marche des Quais in Bordeaux

Great location in the middle of the historic area of Chartrons. Easy to walk everywhere and Bordeaux has fabulous public transport. Hotel room had facilities although the room was rather tight for us. Nice bathroom and separate toilet was a bonus. Stairs gave us a good workout.

This hotel is not a hotel. It is more a hostel. At hotel prices. It is dirty. It stank when we got there, of nothing I'd ever experienced before. And I've spent many a night backstage at music festivals. It is hot. It has one window which can be opened and it needs to be open as otherwise you are in a sauna. And that's with the windows facing north. Heaven help those on the other side of the place, no really, I am worried about you. Because of the open window, even with the shutter closed, no air comes in but what you do get is noise, doors slamming all night long, loud horrendous music from their bar. Or you don't shut the shutter and leave the room open at ground level to anyone wanting to dive right in. It is priced at hotel prices. It is not eco. In any way. Being eco means designing a building to be suitable for use in an ecological fashion. This place is badly designed, badly fitted out, has no amenities and is just a cheap and nasty hostel. By the way, we also got bitten by a plague of things from the moment we got there to the moment we left. We should have gone after the first night but you live and learn. Such a fantastic city, this place should be condemned. What a waste of money. The only nice bit is the potager plants and herbs on the rear walkway. Which of course you see quite alot of as you don't want to spend any more time than necessary in the actual room. Oh and we couldn't lock the door from the inside, as it had recently been smashed in.

We stayed in ‘superior studio’ for 2 nights during heatwave. The room was air conditioned, clean with a comfortable bed, nice little kitchen, shower room. The room was on third floor and involved a walk up from the second floor on external staircase and across a little bridge. This was a bit of a nuisance if we got to the ground floor and realised we’d forgotten something in the room - didn’t do it twice! Hotel is really well located just a couple of minutes to tram stop and with parking on site. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is unbeatable. The staff, the services and the location, out of 10!

Breakfast 12 Euro / bit, relatively simple, but balanced nutrition, bread, fruit, milk, coffee, tea, eggs, yogurt. The room is ok, two large beds, a balcony facing the small lake, the room has simple kitchen utensils, you can cook, there is a supermarket downstairs. In the evening, we also made hot pot on the balcony. Of course, ingredients and induction cookers should be purchased in Chinese supermarkets. The bathroom area is also OK, the bath water is very hot, and it is quite uncomfortable for the fatigue of the day. The parking lot downstairs is also quite big, next to a small lake, running well in the morning. The overall surrounding environment is quiet and suitable for rest.

Arrived ok, no problem so far. Checked in, pay up front - ok, not unheard of… Got to the room, the first thing we saw was a tatty bathroom door. It’s obviously been knocked, and the paintwork damaged, also there was water damage to the bottom. This was explained when we used the shower and the spray went over the floor and pooled below the door. The promised bathtub was included, although no plug. Try having a bath without a plug!! The shower was a hand held spray hooked to the wall at waist height. Bizarre. The mirror was damaged at the bottom, the whole room was rather neglected, although it was clean, so these pieces of damage are obviously being ignored. The bedroom had a comfortable bed, although the room was rather dark and poorly lit. Reading wasn’t easy. There was one armchair, in a room for two people (?), a dining room chair and a wooden stool. Unusual mix. The armchair seat was heavily stained (?!). Not tempting to sit in! Quite why we had two fridges in the room was not apparent. Not many sockets were available, and we could only use the kettle by plugging it in under the television. Which was fine as we couldn’t use the television as the remote had no batteries. The hospitality tray was minimally stocked, and when we asked for milk we were told we could go and buy some as the hotel had no milk. Although there was some at breakfast the following day. No doubt we could have bought new batteries too. When paying €300 for two nights, surely a few tablespoons of milk is not a big ask? It was disappointing that the staff couldn’t be bothered to help with such a small request. Breakfast was ok, no hot food available and it was self service. There was a button operated hot drinks machine, with milk available, mini croissants and pains au chocolat, artisan breads, muesli type mix, fruit, yoghurts, one variety of ham and some very bland cheese. The room felt a bit like a hostel dining room with a big animal mural on the wall and the constant drip from an air conditioning unit onto a towel on the floor. The tables and chairs were clean, but the staff - again - uninterested. A good 20 min walk into Bordeaux, which is a beautiful city. Plenty of good places to eat and pleasant staff there. We will definitely come back to Bordeaux, but definitely not to the Victoria Garden!

Nur eine kurze Nacht in Bordeaux sollte es werden. Am Abend, nach einer langen Autofahrt spät ankommen und dann am nächsten Vormittag ebenso schnell frühstücken, anschließend ins Stadion und es geht schon weiter. Idealerweise hat man noch einen Parkplatz dabei und spart sich somit nach langer Fahrt noch eine nervenaufreibende Parkplatzsuche in der Innenstadt. Irgendwie erinnerte ich mich, dass ich vor etwa 30 Jahren bei einer Frankreich-Reise mal in einigen Formel 1 Hotels Station gemacht hatte. Damals noch extrem günstig. Und irgendwie führte diese etwas verklärte und sehr verblasste Erinnerung dazu, dass ich das Formel 1 Hotel buchte. Vorsichtshalber allerdings ein Cabrio-Zimmer, also mit eigenem Badezimmer. Diesen Aufpreis war es mir auf jeden Fall wert. Nach 14 Stunden Fahrt dort abends gegen 22 Uhr angekommen, war erst mal alles wie erwartet. Es sollte doch hoffentlich allen Gästen klar sein, dass es sich hier um eine Hotelkette handelt, die vorzugsweise in Industriegebieten ansässig ist. Wer hier ein umfangreiches Angebot an Restaurants und weiteren Ausgehmöglichkeiten in Laufnähe erwartet, hat im Vorfeld nicht aufgepasst. Also, schnell das Auto abgestellt und rein ins Hotel. Tatsächlich war um die späte Uhrzeit noch ein Mitarbeiter vor Ort, der den Check-In erledigte. Bis hierhin alles ok. Das Zimmer ansich war dann eher untere Kategorie. Wir waren im EG, wenn man das Fenster öffnete schaute man auf tausende von Zigarettenstummeln und Abfall. Also besser Fenster zulassen, wenigstens funktionierte bei hochsommerlichen Temperaturen die Klimaanlage. Das Bad war ein relativ großer, aber vollkommen steriler und weiß gekachelter Raum, hatte etwas von einem Krankenhaus. Mit den Fotos, die wir vorher auf der Internetseite gesehen hatten, hatte es leider nichts zu tun. Naja, eine Stunde später machten wir die Augen zu und am nächsten Morgen reisten wir wie geplant nach dem Frühstück wieder ab. Das Frühstück war genau, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Nicht besser und nicht schlechter. Fazit: wir haben zu zweit (ein Erwachsener, ein Kind) insgesamt 72 € für diese eine ÜN und 2 x Frühstück bezahlt. Das ist für das erhaltene Paket am Ende einfach zu viel Geld. Hätte ich irgendwas zwischen 40 und 50 € bezahlt, dann wäre das für die Leistungen ok gewesen. Aber für 72 € übernachte ich auch in inhabergeführten Pensionen, habe ein ordentliches Handtuch im Bad und bekomme morgens ein frisches Frühstücksei. Von daher leider keine Empfehlung.

The hotel is beautifuly maintained, the staff is great. Continental reakfast at 10 euros is ok but fruits could be improved a bit. I was grateful that they were willing to go find me gluten free bread. Perhaps you could add a few more items to the continental breakfast. Guests should be aware of the location of this hotel. It is a long walk to downtown and while there is a tram within 15 minute walking distance, we did not feel very safe in this area. Not recommend you walk around after dark.

small hotel with very fair quality/price rate, very nice and helpful staff, the location is however not so good if you have no car (far from bus/train stations, far from the city, very few commodities in the surroundings)

The hotel is clean and nothing to say at the level of the room, I spent a beautiful night
