Only down side is room doesn’t have air conditioning and you have to open the window. Overall is clean and well maintained, already came back to second time.

Nuit caniculaire
Séjour de une nuit pour une visite de bordeaux, hôtel bien mais le système de refroidissement d'air est inexistant, aucune aération. Il faisait plus chaud à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur.
Je déconseille si les températures à Bordeaux dépassent les 30 degrès.

Pour l'accueil & la situation
cette fois-ci, je n'ai pu dormir que 2 petites heures, trop de bruits trop longtemps des autres occupants du dortoir (8 lits), compliqué quand on est en transit pendant un long voyage (travail), heureusement, c'est largement compensé par l'accueil, l'amabilité et les bons conseils des réceptionnistes...
