Hotel 56 - Bordeaux Centre Gare Saint Jean
Great place to stay. Great big room and amenities. Very friendly staff. Hotel is right near the train station which was convenient after a long trip to France. Had difficulty finding the exact location on Google maps but once we figured it out no issue. Easy to navigate to city center on trams.

Hôtel Life Bordeaux Gare - BG
Close to tram so very convenient. Rooms are small but manageable. We asked for an alternative as queen bed was against the wall on one side. Hotel staff were very accommodating in providing an alternative room. Thank you!!
