Apparteo Bordeaux

Imposible to get in. Instructions are not clear. And the phone number in useless. Not help at all.

Great apartment. Bit strange that there is no reception open outside business hours, but that was detailed at time of booking. I arrived Tues night and didn't see any staff until Monday... A mid week linen replacement would have been good, but otherwise great value, nice apartment. Local area is in the middle of urban regeneration, but wasn't noisy or anything... Just quite obviously not finished yet.

Excellent, comfortable, pristine studio on the top floor overlooking the marina. The reception staff were very pleasant and efficient and we really enjoyed our 3-day stay here. The room was surprisingly spacious, the kitchenette was well equipped for all our cooking requirements and there is a Lidl and an Aldi within minutes on foot and a huge new LeClerc also very close. Easy walking to the B tram and the new shopping and entertainment development near the Cite du Vin and along the riverside are easily explored. Particularly liked the casual eateries in Les Halles de Bacalan. As it was very hot during our stay (no a/c but a fan is supplied in the room) we walked up to the Lac by the Congress Centre and found a very pleasant beach area and lots of small (mostly Asian) al fresco eateries under the trees. Would certainly stay here again when in Bordeaux.

I came in the evening, so it was quite dark. It is about 10 min walk away from Rue Achard tram station, so that's the convenient part, but it is quite difficult to find the hostel as the signboards isn't very big. The neighborhood is a bit run down, though the hostel itself is quite good, and there's a lot of construction work going on, which made walking a bit difficult. I quite like the room, since it is quite cozy for one person, and generally it is very well equipped. The check in is automated, so it helped me a lot since I only checked in at 10pm. Overall quite a good place if you want somewhere to crash for a few days.

Great staff, limited hours at the front desk. 10 min walk from tram was a chore. 10 min to nearest grocery too! A little off the main track, industrial area that would have worried me if I was coming in late. Construction noises meant we had to keep window closed. Clean and good value.
