Good hotel with close distance to central station
Pros:

The location was good, just a brief walk from St Jean central station. However, the room felt a bit worn down. The hotel had a nice concept that if you skip room cleaning, you get a free drink at the bar. Whatever it takes to make this world greener!

Cons:

The room felt a bit worn down.

Correcto.
Pros:

Hotel correcto para pasar un par de días y visitar Burdeos. Hotel tranquilo al no estar en el centro pero tampoco lejos para llegar a los sitios de interés (20min andando) y en muy poco en tranvía.
El trato del personal es muy agradable.
Buen parking.

Cons:

Sinceramente me esperaba algo más de este Novotel, he estado en otros de la cadena y a este le falta algo de cariño.
Las camas no estaban bien hechas y cojines como almohadas.

Toujours la même qualité !
Pros:

Il n'y a rien à dire : tout est très bien,comme d'habitude ; Chaque fois que nous venons à Bordeaux, nous venons au Novotel !
Propreté, service, peti-dèj exceptionnel, sitution, bagagerie et parking pour ceux qui viennent en voiture et pour nous le tram et venir à pied de la gare.
La qualité ne change pas.

Cons:

RIEN .

Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt okay
Pros:

Sehr zentral, Strassenbahn direkt vor der Tür

Cons:

Als wir kamen wussten wir schon dass wir nur vier Tage statt fünf bleiben würden aber es war nicht möglich den einen übrigen Tag zu stornieren. Das Zimmer wurde für den fehlenden Tag aus Sicht des Hotel als freigegeben vermerkt… wir mussten uns, aber erst nach Verhandlungen, mit einen freien Frühstuck zufreidenstellen.
