L'Escapade Bordelaise

Julien is a superb host. He is extremely helpful and engaging, with the needs of his guests at heart. The central location meant we were near transport options and many of the sights and areas we wished to visit. The bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. Julien services the room every day. Breakfast consisted of delicious plain croissants, two types of bread, jams, three types of muesli, yoghurt, juice, and tea and coffee. You can use the kitchen facilities day and night yourself, too. The place has a charm about it, and is very quiet at night. We had the Grand Hommes room, which is the only room situated downstairs via a spiral staircase. It was a little musty and dark. Opening the large windows is an option to deal with that, but that allows mosquitoes in. As there are buildings directly opposite, the open windows means your privacy is compromised, or, if you close the black curtains, it’s dark. Julien has a device that discourages mosquitoes from entering but we still had a few! Note that all the upstairs rooms we saw were light and bright, though.

Nice and comfortable room, great location in the heart of the city! Easy access from the airport by tram. Really enjoyed it

Julien, the owner, was great, as was his assistant Rosie. It is a truly excellent location, close to all one would want to see in Bordeaux. It is on a very quiet street, adjacent to some of the main thoroughfares. Breakfast was very acceptable too. And Julien was very willing to share advice on things to do, how to get there etc. We would definitely stay with Julien again.

This small hotel gives great service, our room was clean, roomy, and had a great shower and bed. Breakfast was flexible ( time wise) and tasty.

lovely hotel, walking distance to centre and yet not noisy

Nice hotel Nice room in a central place. This is not a full service hotel and more of a B&B, but nice and quite place with a large room and nice hosts.
