Staycity Aparthotels, Bordeaux City Centre
The location was good and I felt safe walking back to the hotel late at night alone. The drapes were not completely blackout. There was definitely a lot of sun getting through the sides and top. Would stay here again.

Hotel 56 - Bordeaux Centre Gare Saint Jean
The bathroom was especially nice, big shower, lots of counter space. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There is construction around the corner. So you can’t approach the or leave the hotel on foot, except by detouring to the SCNF Gare, but you can catch the tram from there, to go anywhere ...
