The room was small, just big enough to fit a double bed but was adequate and the ensuite shower room was small but functional. What you would expect in a traditional style 3 star city centre hotel. Towels were changed and the room was cleaned daily. I requested a kettle and cups which were supplied. The location was perfect, inside the central pedestrianized area and just a short stroll from the main city centre.

There were no hooks or towel rail in the bathroom to hang up damp towels. Not a fault of the Hotel, but beware of taxis. I pre-booked a taxi from the airport to the hotel which would not enter the centralised pedestrian area. The taxi dumped me on the edge of the pedestrian area and I was left to find my own way to the hotel on foot. Fortunately I only had hand baggage and had to use Google maps to find the hotel. The hotel booked me a taxi to return to the airport which came to the hotel to collect me.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the old city, not far from the river with plenty of bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. The room was quiet.

The configuration of our room was a bit strange with the shower and wash basin being part of the bedroom itself. The toilet was enclosed but very small. I don't know if all the rooms were like this. To be fair, when we were given the room, the receptionist said we could change it if we wanted to.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The location is absolutely perfect, very centrally located. Affordable pricing

Unfortunately they had a hall way door in front of the elevator on the second floor that slammed way too loud every time someone got off the elevator. This woke me up in my sleep several nights and morning as it was quite annoying. I would recommend removing that door. Also someone set off the fire alarm another night forcing us all to evacuate the hotel. This caused bad sleep habits during the trip but I also see that hall way door as a fire hazard if elevator is not working.

I could not recommend this hotel enough. As a solo female traveler I found the the staff were extremely helpful, the location was in the heart of the city, walking distance to most attractions and the hotel felt very safe. The wifi worked great and the room was very spacious. I would absolutely stay here again.

Given the location, you can hear the street sounds/music at night but overall the room was extremely comfortable so this did not disturb my sleep.

It was a great location with great restaurants, plenty of sites to view and some great bars. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I found our room very cosy and the mattress was comfortable and I slept very well during my stay, I found that we were at the centre of everything. The price of the suite was very good for being at the centre of bordeau.

I have nothing to add here as I liked everything.

Couldnt be more central. Right in the beautiful historic part of town with lots of restuarants/bars near. Helpful staff and friendly. Comfy bed. Very clean. Good breakfast. Reasonably good value.

A bit noisy, but thats a consequence of being so central. Room decor was a bit drab, could have done with a few pictures on the walls, especially given the room window faced a blank wall.. Room, and bathroom, were a bit poky and there isnt much storage space. Taxi had to drop us off a distance from the hotel, but that's not the hotel's fault - cars arent allowed in the historic centre during the day

The Hotel de la Presse is in the centre of Bordeaux and still, there was no traffic, full of live but still it became quiet at night. The hotel isn’t very large but it has lots of french character. The staff is very friendly, the breakfast room and the breakfast invites one to stay for hours to read or talk with your friends. If you like a good coffee you are at the right place. Everything is „around the corner“ and there is no need to call for a taxi or use public transport (it is all there and works as well if needed). We stayed for a week, we should have stayed for two and we will come back and we will stay at the Hotel de la Presse again.

Absolutely nothing to complain

Modern fixtures, distinctive features. Amazing location steps from restaurants and historic sites. The legendary tram system will whisk you to the train station in ten minutes.

I chose a small room, so it was a slightly strange shape, but I know that might be the case with a small room. If you have very heavy bags, note that a small number of the rooms involve lifting bags over 3-4 steps - the lift goes almost all the way. You may wish to request a room that is not at the very top is this is an issue. My room faced the street so it was noisy at times; other rooms would face other directions.

The location was perfect for a city break. Friendly helpful staff. Room was at the back, so we didn't have any issues with street noise. Didn't have breakfast, but the dining looked great.

No Tea and Coffee facilities in the room

Lovely friendly hotel right in the heart of the shopping and restaurants opposite galleries Lafayette. Room was a good size with en-suite shower room. Staff is accommodating and friendly with 24 hr reception. They hold luggage before and after your stay.

My room did face the main street, and it was still very loud. There were people busking outside my window for hours in the evening, and at night, there were loud parties.
