Rooms are generally comfortable, with blackout curtains for privacy and some spacious, quiet private rooms; street noise can be heard in certain rooms unless windows are closed. The on-site cafe and bar, plus social spaces, are well liked, but breakfast availability and quality comments vary. A practical choice for travelers seeking convenience and simple comforts.

O local é muito central, a 1 quadra da estação de tram e muito perto do centro. Não tem lugar para cozinhar e o espaco para por as malas é bem pouco, mas tem guarda malas e lavanderia (ambos pagos a parte, estranhei o guarda malas ser pago mas ok).

La salle, où chiller ou travailler (selon les envies), est confortable, on peut y déguster café et autres boissons tout en écoutant de la musique diverses et variées selon les goûts du moment 😉 Il en est de même pour la terrasse, a apprécié aux beaux jours ! Dortoirs et autres équipements 👍 Merci à l'équipe de la réception pour votre accueil !

Das Personal war freundlich und auch sehr zuvorkommend, sie haben einem alles erklärt. Die angeschlossene Bar und Restaurant war gut besucht und auch eine gute Auswahl an Essen/Getränken. Das Gemeinschaftsbad war groß und die Duschkabinen, eigentlich Duschräume waren sehr groß sogar mit extra Spiegel und Schrank ausgestattet, davor gab es nochmal einen kleinen Raum mit Waschbecken. Tolle Unterkunft! (:

L'emplacement est top. J'ai mis 10 minutes env en trottinette depuis la gare. L'hotel est en plein centre et pas loin des quais pour les visites, ballades etc. L'hotel possède un super accueil avec bar et tables pour se poser et prendre un verre tranquillement. L'accueil est réalisé par une équipe jeune et dynamique et j'ai été agréablement surpris par la bienveillance de l'équipe . Malgré le fait d'être en dortoir, j'ai trouvé la chambre hyper calme (j'ai eu la chance d'avoir des convives respectueux), et tout était d'une super propreté. En gros je recommande vivement cet établissement. Le séjour était parfait.

Amazing hostel! Cute, clean and perfectly located on StCatherine street (longest pedestrian only street!! Lots of shopping!). All the facilities were in great condition and updated. As a solo traveler it could have been a little bit more socially oriented, but that is being super picky! Would recommend!

Le personnel est très sympa, la présence continuelle est d’ailleurs super pratique. La propreté des espaces communs (salle de bain) laisse à désirer le soir, mais c’est parce que les voyageurs ne font pas attention et non pas à cause du personnel ! Il y a beaucoup de turnover, attention donc à vos affaires (n’oubliez pas votre gel douche dans la douche …). Les casiers sont très spacieux d’ailleurs !! Les rideaux occultants font vraiment bien leur job, superbe idée. L’auberge est super bien placée en centre-ville, très pratique ! Expérience positive, je recommande :)

Location location location! I loved my stay at the Central Hostel. The staff were super nice and helpful and the location is truly central and very walkable. I stayed in a 8 bed mixed dorm for the first time and the blackout blinds were a gamechanger for me. Other than a microwave there's no kitchen but there're an Aldi and Carrefour nearby which is super helpful. The washrooms and the showers weren't the cleanest and it didn't feel like they were being cleaned daily but it's a hostel after all. If I'd ever go back to Bordeaux, I'll definitely stay here but would book a female dorm instead. Merciii :>

location is brilliant in the centre of Bordeaux. However, i went expecting breakfast as advertised only to be told they did not serve food. They need to change their ads about the hostel. However, excellent cafe just round the corner. They also need to be more communicative about tourism, and where the tourist bureau is, as they themselves were not able to answer my questions. Staff good natured however.

Location
Very central and walkable, close to tram lines, shopping streets, and old-town sights. Some reviews note street noise and groups of unhoused people with dogs in the square, leading a few to feel uneasy after dark.

Unfortunately, the hostel does not have control of its surroundings. At the time of my stay, there were some unhoused people with dogs. And at night they would bark. ( the dogs not the people ) But in no insistence did I feel unsafe. The area is very centrical and walking distance to most attraction. Highly recommend.

Nice hostel for short term stays. Can be noisy due to people on the street outside.

O local é muito central, a 1 quadra da estação de tram e muito perto do centro. Não tem lugar para cozinhar e o espaco para por as malas é bem pouco, mas tem guarda malas e lavanderia (ambos pagos a parte, estranhei o guarda malas ser pago mas ok).

Amazing hostel! Cute, clean and perfectly located on StCatherine street (longest pedestrian only street!! Lots of shopping!). All the facilities were in great condition and updated. As a solo traveler it could have been a little bit more socially oriented, but that is being super picky! Would recommend!

Bonne accueil, mais il y avait une odeur nauséabonde dans les escaliers pour accéder au chambre (odeur d’égout). Le petit n’est pas à volonté dommage.

location is brilliant in the centre of Bordeaux. However, i went expecting breakfast as advertised only to be told they did not serve food. They need to change their ads about the hostel. However, excellent cafe just round the corner. They also need to be more communicative about tourism, and where the tourist bureau is, as they themselves were not able to answer my questions. Staff good natured however.

J'ai apprécié mon séjour au Central Hostel de Bordeaux, situé au coeur du centre ville, près des lignes de Tramways. L'équipe de la réception est très agréable et pro. La salle, où chiller ou travailler (selon les envies), est confortable, on peut y déguster café et autres boissons tout en écoutant de la musique diverses et variées selon les goûts du moment 😉 Il en est de même pour la terrasse, a apprécié aux beaux jours ! Dortoirs et autres équipements 👍 Merci à l'équipe de la réception pour votre accueil !

Das Personal war freundlich und auch sehr zuvorkommend, sie haben einem alles erklärt. Die angeschlossene Bar und Restaurant war gut besucht und auch eine gute Auswahl an Essen/Getränken. Das Gemeinschaftsbad war groß und die Duschkabinen, eigentlich Duschräume waren sehr groß sogar mit extra Spiegel und Schrank ausgestattet, davor gab es nochmal einen kleinen Raum mit Waschbecken. Tolle Unterkunft! (:

L'emplacement est top. J'ai mis 10 minutes env en trottinette depuis la gare. L'hotel est en plein centre et pas loin des quais pour les visites, ballades etc. L'hotel possède un super accueil avec bar et tables pour se poser et prendre un verre tranquillement. L'accueil est réalisé par une équipe jeune et dynamique et j'ai été agréablement surpris par la bienveillance de l'équipe . Malgré le fait d'être en dortoir, j'ai trouvé la chambre hyper calme (j'ai eu la chance d'avoir des convives respectueux), et tout était d'une super propreté. En gros je recommande vivement cet établissement. Le séjour était parfait.

T'was a girls weekend in Bordeaux. We booked a private suite for four. Very comfortable, clean room. Confusion re the towels - we "rented" some per the welcome email and the room ended-up having towels. Hooks would be nice to hang them after showering, as well as water cups. Also, housekeeping was advertised. They did a partial cleaning and ended-up taking some of our souvenir cups. We fortunately got 4/6 back. Also, very much appreciated coffee and tea in the room. Overall a great stay and would return. Oh, and the location was good though there were a lot of homeless people/squatters in the square.

We had a great stay in a family room. When we closed the window it was completely quiet with no noise getting in from the square. Staff were very helpful. The breakfast option was excellent. The location was perfect for walking about the beautiful city. Highly recommend.

Overall, I had a very nice stay. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The hostel is, as its name suggests, very central and easy to reach from the train station. The rooms, bathrooms, and showers were clean, though the first night, the bathroom on my floor was out of order, and the women's showers lacked hooks for hanging clothing and towels. It appeared that they were doing work on those spaces, so it may not be an issue in the future. The other people in my rooms (a mixed sex room the first night and an all-women room for the four following nights) were very nice and considerate. I would recommend Central Hostel as a pleasant and budget-conscious way to visit Bordeaux.

A modest, clean and centrally located well run youth hostel. The plaza just in front seems to attract some weird people. Do not mind this, they are doing their thing and din’t bother anyone. Very close to tons of shops and restaurants. Beds were confortable, temperature was fine. It may be a bit difficult for some folks to get into the top bunks. Lobby area was welcoming and comfortable. Showers were ok, good warm water with decent pressure. I would recommend for a solo trip b
