Hotel Majestic, Bordeaux

We were given a room under an appartment which was occupied by a very noisy insomniac. After two sleepless nights we left, very disappointed to have been placed there when the hotel did not appear to be anywhere near full. Hotel location was good, breakfast was disappointing and expensive.

I travel alot for business and pleasure so I can be picky. This Hotel was just great. The staff is all professional, pleasant and fluent in English (which is good since my French is not great!). They respond immediately to every comment or inquiry you have. Ultra clean, great location, quiet side street downtown. Would return without hesitation. A bargin in my opinion.

I stayed at Hotel Majestic in Bordeaux for ~1 week in July 2005. The bilingual hotel staff were friendly and helpful in every way. The location of the hotel is unbeatable. The Tourism Information Office is just around the corner. The hotel is adjacent to Quinconces, which is the end of Tram B and Tram C lines, as well as an orderly and quiet bus terminal. From here, you can take Tram C to the train station (convenient to Arcachon), take Jet Bus to the airport, or take Bus 302 to St. Emilion. The hotel is also very close to the pedestrian shopping street, and many nice restaurants. If you are a customer of Bank of America (BoA), you can withdraw cash from BNP Paribas ATMs (nearby the hotel) without paying ATM fees (the two banks are in the same Global ATM Alliance). I had my laptop with me and was able to access the internet via WLAN, free of charge, from the room. All in all, I had a wonderful experience.

Next to the tramway and tourism office. Use Tramway! Taxis are pricey and not necessary (i.e. from hotel to train station). Close to main walking streets with shops and restaurants. Definately go on a tour of the vineyards.
