The hotel and service was very nice. The owner was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very nice. There was no air conditioning and the temperatures were in the 90's so we could not get cool when in our room.
My wife and I had a great night at your place. You run this very well. Not bad for a one man show so to speak!! Thanks again. If you find a small bag of presents it might be ours so please let us know and we'll arrange for it to be sent back to us.

This hotel is trying to be a boutique hotel and it could be great but a lot of things are lacking. For example, there is a limited amount (120 litres per day) of hot water, there is a lack of good quality toileteries, no slippers in the room, a faulty safe and a poor level of cleanliness. There are also thin walls and you can hear everything from the next room. However, the hotel is in a good location within easy walking distance of the old town. I wouldn't rush to rebook.
The host was friendly and helpful. Very accommodating in his home. The rooms were pleasant, clean and comfortable. We only stayed for one night but could've stayed longer! The hotel was well located close to the 'downtown' area of Bordeaux.

Disliked: Room comfort
The traffic noise was so bad we could not sleep. The owner had ear plugs (I assume other people had complained) even using them we could not have a good nights sleep.
The bed was very hard and the bathroom below average for a Deluxe room which is what we booked. This is not a hotel but a Chambres D' Hotes, lovely building but we would certainly not book the L'Arene again.
Jean-Marie the owner is a very nice person with many contacts in the area for food and service. He keeps his home in perfect condition and it is located very near the historical areas of Bordeaux.
The parking is a bit too far from the house but it is expected if you want to stay in historical parts of old town. Walking distance to everything Bordeaux has to offer.
We went to the place and looked at the room and promptly left.
Because this was prepaid I was unable to get any refund.
If you want to book this. I would recommend reserving it and only pay after you stay.
We arrived soaking wet after running through a downpour in the dark after a wine tour to Ste Emilion. The proprietor was so very kind to us. We needed parking and he assisted with excellent directions to the parking garage to retrieve our car and then offered his personal parking spot.
Room was lovely and bathroom had both tub and separate shower.
Breakfast was very good and we were given directions to a local market that we thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately We didn't recall the proprietor's name. Many thanks for the kind service at your lovely B and B.
We stayed for four nights in September 2016. Great hotel, stylish and interesting.
Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. A short walk from Bordeaux main sites.
Lovely sitting room with very stylish and quirky touches. We will definitely stay here again.
