ibis budget Bordeaux Centre Gare Saint Jean 2 stars

Clean and efficient but far too much emphasis on covid 'safety' measures.

Cmae with friends with bicycles for one night after a late train. We've been told we couldn't secure our bikes other than on the street (railway station Street....) By chance a regular customer could help us out and show the receptionist that bikes are usually kept in the basement near staff lockers.....

Correct

When I arrived late at night, they had run out of key cards so the receptionist had to escort me to my room. That was fine, I didn't mind, but something like that shouldn't really happen. I got my key card the following morning. All in all, the stay was a pleasant one. Breakfast was a little too simple, though, and they didn't even have plates to put the bread on. But at least the orange juice was real :) No complaints, really, the location suited me well and the room was as expected. Staff were helpful and friendly.

An overnight stay before getting TGV. A hairdryer in the room would have been nice!

Needed a hotel after catching a late flight into Bordeaux and no trains out until the following morning. Perfectly located right opposite the train station for a swift getaway. Great price for a no frills room on 6th floor good view over cityscape

I've stayed at a lot of Ibis hotels, the Budget hotels are the lowest tier of hotels of the Ibis brand. My rating of very good means very good for a budget level hotel. We stayed in two different double rooms, one had the shower open right into the room and the toilet in a separate room. The other had a shower and toilet in a separate room. There is soap in a wall dispenser and they provide small towels. The bed is comfortable enough although I could have used another pillow. I couldn't find a hair dryer. Breakfast is extra so we passed. The location is great if you need to be near the St. Jean train station, we were able to walk to the central part of town but it took 25-30 minutes. There is also a Relais bus that is 1.50€ per ride that goes right into the center about a block away. Dining options near the hotel are extremely limited. The train station is right across the street. The wifi connection was fine on our 1st stay, non existent on the 2nd stay. The staff seemed to be aware of the problem but it was not fixed while we were there.

Excellent stay! The hotel is very close to the station and easy to catch a morning train to Paris. This time I staied in a room that didn't look like a hostel room. And this made a massive difference.

Stayed there for a Master degree interview... service, cleanliness, room and especially the location right in front of the train station are all excellent, yet it was way too expensive for 1 night....

very expensive for the service ans cleanliness. Especially the toilets were not cleaned (I have some pictures, if you want). One days, they were no towels in the room. No cleanup for Mirror and Windows. the third bunk bed (not used) was not done from the former clients. Too muc erreors for such a high price.

Very clean room,comfortable bed.Also given a quiet room.Had continental breakfast prior to boarding the TGV Tuesday morning. We always book this hotel when stopping overnight in Bordeaux.Just 2 minutes from railway station. Staff at reception are very pleasant and helpful.Usually book in advance at a very reasonable price.

Close to transport, supermarket and restaurants. Typical Ibis budget room:. Small but adequate for 2 nights. Staff courteous. Easy to get into town by tram and to the airport.. We bought the 24 hour ticket.

Good Hotel , but a price of Euro 65 for a single room with basic amenities is too steep .Breakfast is worth the price . Excellent location for train and tram travelers . Surrounded by a variety of restaurants which makes the stay complete and convenient !

Convenient location just across the road from the main train station. The staff were friendly and helpful. Efficient service.... spotless... comfortable small room. Would certainly recommend and make a return visit. Couldn't be beaten on price/value.

The temperature was 38 and the aircon was not working during our 2 day stay. We did not sleep much, the lady on reception said that changing rooms would not help. We were not informed of this problem when we checked in.
