ibis budget Bordeaux Centre - Gare Saint Jean

My mate and I came over for the Rugby World cup. All prices were ridiculously inflated and Ibis was no exception. But the room was spotlessly clean and you know what to expect from a budget hotel in terms of facilities. Staff were very helpful and polite and the room did its job. i.e some where clean and comfortable to crash out at the end of a long day at the rugby!

Pricing was silly. There is a point where making a reasonable mark-up for an international sporting event goes from "fair enough" to outright profiteering. Ibis fell into the latter camp.

We specifically wanted a hotel close to the train station in order to catch an early bus to the airport. You can easily see this hotel from outside the station. Room was no frills but had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Plenty of hot water when needed and surprisingly nice smelling shower gel! Despite being close so close to the station, we didn't hear any noise that disturbed our sleep which was great. Security was good - you had to use your room card to gain access to the front door. Rapid check out - you post your key card into a box outside reception.

Nothing that I can think of during our short stay

If you have ever stayed at an Ibis Budget hotel, you already know what to expect. The room was good and more spacious than other units of the same chain. It was very clean, the beds were comfy, and the room had a good view from the street. The hotel offers a good French-style breakfast buffet for a reasonable price. The hotel is located a few steps from the train station. The area looked safe enough and there are many restaurants nearby. All in all, it was a very good choice for a short stay in Bordeaux.

Nothing. Everything was OK and even better than expected.

Location good the room was good size clean.

I would have liked a hairdryer in the room. It should be standard even in a budget hotel. Other budget hotels have hairdryers. And chair with a back would have been nice but hairdryer main disappointment and shower head wouldn’t stay up. That was annoying.

First of all of course a hotel location, this was very helpful for me, personally. Τhe breakfast was really satisfactory, and in good portions. Simple, but good. This hotel is very good and economic solution for travelers for a few days.

The little shelf dresser near the bed was broken. Because it is a small piece of wood (next to the bed stairs), it probably escaped the attention of the room inspector. For all floors and staff operated on the days of my stay there only one elevator - the second elevator did not work. A bit inconvenient this when it was busy.

Staff very friendly and professional, as we remembered them from our stay 3 years ago. Spoke English well. Great location, near everything (I recommend the restaurant Comptoir d'Indochine nearby). Great value breakfast (plenty of croissants, pains au chocolat, compote de pommes, orange juice, toasts, yoghurts...)

It was left to us to put sheets on the bunk bed...a mere omission I hope!

It was very good and we had a nice time. We will want to come back again when there is any good deals or offers.

I liked everything however, if the breakfast could be improved with perhaps an option of omelette and other cereals such as muesli thank you. I will visit again definitely my self and children had a good time. The reception was very good and staff we very helpful and respectful.

A great little hotel right next to the railway station. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was good. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was because of the budget price. If you want something handy for a couple of nights, I would highly recommend this place.

Great location right next to the station and tram. 30 min walk into town which we enjoyed and did there and back daily. Staff friendly.

Value you for money. Paid €205 euros for two nights I feel that was overpriced even tho a budget hotel I feel €50 per night would be more realistic for what you get.

Friendly and efficient staff, room was very clean and it is a stones throw away from the train station

The room was quite small and smelt of sewage. The smell had gone by the next morning but was very prevalent the previous day. One of the lifts was not working, which meant led to waits for the lift.
