Hôtel de Normandie

Excellent hotel. Each time I go to Bordeaux I go to Hotel de Normandie

This was a last minute booking and exceptionally good. Room states for one person but big enough for two. Two of my friends were staying in one room and they charged 20 euros extra. Overall good location and clean rooms

This is a lovely hotel well located in the old section of Bordeaux near the Place de la Bourse and the Garonne River, and the square of the Opera House with many shops and restaurants. A 10-15 minute walk from St. Andre's Cathedral. Very nice rooms and an excellent helpful staff. A hotel we would return to.

Their WiFi was off for several days (they did offer a credit of 10 euros per day) but this does not remunerate the need for WiFi service. One of the most important features in our desicion was WiFi. They also had a broken sewage pipe leaking sewage water in the lobby which added a very bad smell. We also had a similar smell in the room. I'm sure the otel would be fine if these issues are not reoccuring.

Perfectly situated near river , trams and opera house. The hotel has nice renovated rooms . The only negative was that there was a step up to bathroom and another to toilet area which we found a bit treacherous at night. Otherwise the room was sparkling clean and quiet even though it was on a busy street . The bed was a bit hard for someone used to foam mattresses but that is common in many French hotels . Overall excellent and we would most definitely return . What a magnificent city , Bordeaux is right out of a fairy tale .
