CHAMBRE ALIENOR D'AQUITAINE, Bordeaux

Rooms are located on the ground floor or the top floor (accessed by a steep staircase). Top-floor rooms have reduced ceiling height (approx. 160-200 cm) and use a sliding door instead of a solid door, which can be noisy and does not lock. These rooms lack a proper window, relying on a door to a small inner courtyard; noise and smells from other guests can enter easily. Ground-floor rooms offer a more private layout with a solid door and a lock, and some have a direct access to a private patio. All rooms include a desk, an electric kettle, and tea/coffee facilities. Bed size is a double, with varying mattress firmness reported. Soundproofing between floors is limited - noise from upstairs neighbours is audible. The shared bathroom is located on the ground floor and consists of a very compact shower cubicle, a toilet in the same small space, and a sink in the corridor near the office area. During weekday office hours, the bathroom is also used by office staff, reducing privacy.

The bed and breakfast is located 14 km from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport and is well served by public transport - the tram stop and bus lines are a short walk away. Chaban Delmas Bridge is a 16-minute walk, and La Cité du Vin is 2 km away. The historic city centre is about a 20-minute walk along the river. Numerous restaurants, bars and shops are within 0.5 km, and a supermarket is a 5-minute walk. The area is safe and quiet at night, ideal for business travellers or couples visiting the city.
