What guests think

At Novotel Bordeaux Centre Ville, travellers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and convenient, walkable location near trams and the historic center, while feedback on room condition and breakfast value ranges from very positive to critical.

Many guests find spaces clean and comfortable, but recurring notes mention worn carpets, occasional odors, and some dated areas. Several report weak shower pressure and patchy air conditioning in certain rooms. Facilities draw praise for the bar and restaurant; parking is close yet can be confusing or pricey, and the gym feels limited. Expect a convenient base close to sights, with trade-offs around room updates and amenities.

This hotel is set up for remote working in the lobby of this hotel. There are little cubicles and common workspace areas. It has a gym which is usually empty. The rooms are large however the a/c was not very performant. Location is great but with the roadwork being done by the parking lot, accessing parking was a bit confusing as the signs for « Parking 8 May 1945 » Disappear at the roundabout diversion

The property offered a nice bar with good happy hour and it was attached to a restaurant. Our room was nice and clean with good air conditioning. I’m not sure if it was because we had traveled so much by the time we reached Bordeaux, or for another reason, but Bordeaux seemed tired, expensive, and dreary. The area of the hotel is excellent because it’s only about 15 minutes walk to the shopping and museum areas. When we woke and looked for a small café in the morning, we realized many are not open until after 9 AM. This is French culture, but as travelers, we wanted caffeine earlier in the morning. We did find a few nice small bars in the area and enjoyed afternoon drinks. We appreciated the small bodegas that were close-by for water, fruit, and snacks. Parking was around the corner from the hotel. Parking was safe and priced fairly. The staff at the hotel described the parking as being “not attached to the hotel.” However, we found a route inside the parking ramp that was an easy route into the hotel -entering along the terrace adjacent to the hotel’s café and bar. Otherwise we would have difficulty carrying our bags into the hotel because at the front door, there are stairs leading to the lobby level. In May 2025 road outside the hotel was under construction. We speak basic French. (That helped a lot when checking in because in Bordeaux there are not as many fluent English speakers). The staff here were patient and helpful.

Globalement très déçu de cet hôtel. Points positifs : bien situé, personnel sympa et pro. Points négatifs : cet hôtel est un saut dans le passé. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel car la chambre indiquait disposer d'un lit king size. Un lit king size, c'est 1 lit unique avec 1 matelas unique de 180*200... pas 2 lits de 90 avec 2 matelas de 90 rapprochés ! Les matelas n'étaient pas confortable du tout. Beaucoup trop mou, si mou qu'on pouvait toucher le bois sous le matelas en s'asseyant sur le lit. Il n'y avait qu'une seule prise pour charger le téléphone seulement d'un côté du lit. Pas pratique du tout quand nous sommes 2. La moquette était sale, avec des traces blanches. Il n'y avait pas de douche à l'italienne, seulement une vieille baignoire comme dans le passé. Nous avons demandé de changer à l'accueil mais on nous a indiqué qu'il fallait changer de gamme de chambre. Nous ne voulions pas payer d'avantages. Le ménage n'avais pas été fait pendant notre séjour, malgré la carte déposée sur la porte. Nous avons dû demander à l'accueil. Et une fois le ménage fait, il manquait des serviettes. Nous en avions marre de devoir réclamer des choses à l'accueil. Dans la chambre il n'y avait pas de bouilloire. Enfin, le petit déjeuner était très décevant. Du jus de fruits industriel, des confitures industrielles de grandes surfaces, etc... Et en plus, le petit déjeuner ferme à 10h en semaine, c'est trop tôt . C'est hôtel est vraiment très très loin d'un 4 étoiles style Mercure.

The shower in our room was pretty low pressure and the toilet didn't flush properly. The staff was amazing though, really helpful and understanding and most of them spoke English. All in all a pretty good hotel that has a good location if you want to explore the city by foot or by bike.

The shower was terrible as the pressure was extremely low. The bed was really uncomfortable because they just placed two single beds together and the mattress were very low quality. The building was dated and you could tell they had done a light refurbishment. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The lobby/reception were of a good standard. I would not recommend this hotel as I do not believe it represented good value for money. The location of the hotel is the only redeeming factor.
