Overall, the room was clean and bathroom was very nice! Staff was incredibly friendly at arrival, inconsistent if they were at the front desk or not for rest of the stay. The WiFi connection was very poor. The only other thing to note is that it is a decent walk from city center — nothing to do with the hotel, but location continued to be rated high in reviews and I was surprised by how long it took to walk in (I could have mapped it more closely so that’s on me).

I stayed at this hotel twice during a month long stay in Bordeaux primarily because it was where a Trip USA Bordeaux tour started, so I added days on the front and back end of that tour. Ricardo, the day manager, was exceptionally helpful, but all of their staff is well trained as they have a hospitality training school on site. They offer breakfast as an extra but it’s rather expensive unless you’re a big eater.The room was very comfortable although I found the bedding too warm for my taste. Finally, the last night there, I discovered a blanket in the closet that I could use instead of the duvet. Like many hotels these days, they provide small square pillows, so on my second round there, I requested normal size pillows and they were provided. The location is excellent for seeing Bordeaux as the tram line is just across the street. It is within a nice, long walking distance of the old part of town, the river parkway and dozens of great restaurants. My one big complaint is that most hotels, including this one, do not provide a place to put open suitcases. I do not want to unpack and pack again, especially when only staying for a 2-4 days so I just used half of the king bed. The second part of the stay, I was placed in a handicap room which had more space and did have a large platform for my suitcase, which I really liked.

This hotel has everything going for it. Great location! Literally across the road from the Garonne River parkway the borders the river throughout Bordeaux which is a hive of activity almost any day and any time. The staff were exceptional and very helpful to international travelers. I’d recommend this hotel to fellow travelers.

The service, cleanliness and facilities were excellent. The location, while not being in the centre of town, is within walking distance and the price reflects that. A tram stop is also 2 minutes walk away. Highly recommend this hotel.

The rooms were great. Well furnished and the bathrooms were pretty good. Staff at the lobby was hit or miss. There seemed to be some staff members under training and didnt even seem to speak french properly. At checkout we asked for a taxi but the lady at the reception never mentioned that the taxi also charged to get to us. Our alternative was a 15 eur uber to the train station while we ended up paying 40 eur for a taxi that came from a far and charged us for the trip to pick us up. Would have appreciated more transparency from the hotel staff members about this huge difference between uber and taxis

Great friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. Parking is a very long walk (but you may not need your car for awhile). Many Uber and cabs available. No parking anywhere in Bordeaux. 1.5 mile walk to hotel de ville (main center of action ) close walk to shopping and many other restaurants

An ideally-situated hotel close to the river Garonne, midway between la Cité du Vin and the town centre, both within walking distance. The staff were all welcoming, keen and friendly. The superior room was very spacious with a well-equipped bathroom. It was very clean, but some of the fittings and furnishings were slightly worn and in need of replacement. In spite of the double glazing, there was a lot of traffic noise. We only bothered with breakfast on the first morning. The choice of items, which had to be ordered the previous night, was limited and, at 12 €, somewhat expensive. We did not eat in the restaurant, but the bar had a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices.

The young staff were very polite, cheerful, friendly and helpful. Our room was reasonably spacious, with a comfortable bed, although the shape and layout were awkward. We asked for extra cups more than once as provision was for one person. We found the breakfasts had odd combinations and did not look like the pictures on the menu sheet that we had to fill out the night before.

Hotel Vatel offers a simple but spacious decor and set up in the rooms. The bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom is also large with a good size shower recess that has a rain shower and hand held shower head with three different shower settings - bliss !! There is a fridge and Nespresso pod coffee machine plus unlimited bottled water provided.The only thing I found wanting was the lack of more snack type food being available at night from early hours, especially with the restaurant being closed on two nights. Often when you have been out on day tours all day, probably having eaten a largish lunch, all you need is something small instead of having to wait for the restaurants nearby to open and/or get changed.
