IBIS BORDEAUX CENTRE BASTIDE, Bordeaux

The hotel is situated in the Bastide district, directly across the Garonne from the city centre. It is a 35-minute tram ride from Nouveau Stade Bordeaux and 2 km from the Cité du Vin museum. The 15 to 20-minute walk across the river is a pleasant route for reaching central attractions. The area has a Carrefour supermarket adjacent to the hotel and several restaurants within a 5-minute walk. The neighbourhood is generally quiet at night, though some streets can feel deserted after dark. The Stalingrad tram stop also connects directly to the airport, making car-free access straightforward.

Rooms are modern in style, with carpeted floors, heating, and soundproofed windows. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a private bathroom with a shower, and free toiletries. The double rooms offer either a single large bed or two twin beds; the triple room has three single beds. Some double beds are made of two single mattresses, which may create a noticeable gap in the centre. The bathrooms are prefabricated units (similar to those in a train or ship cabin), which some find compact but functional. No rooms have a balcony or a refrigerator. The double-glazing keeps rooms quiet even on main roads. For light sleepers, requesting a room not facing the street is advisable.

Breakfast includes a variety of items such as eggs, fruit salad, yogurt, fresh pastries baked on site, madeleines, fruit juice, and a hot beverage. A lighter breakfast option is available from 04:00 for early risers, and a takeaway hot drink and piece of fruit can be taken away. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the hotel has a wine bar lounge, a snack bar open 24 hours, and a coffee shop on the ground floor. Several restaurants are within walking distance, such as Noonie's, L'Italia, and Le Siman, all about a 5-10 minute walk.

This property does not offer a pool, spa, or wellness facilities. For leisure, the hotel's reception area features a foosball table, board games, and a guitar, creating a relaxed social environment. The lounge area also has sofas and water dispenser.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, express check-in/check-out, and free luggage storage. Other services include a welcome drink and fax/photocopying for a fee. The property is accessible for guests with reduced mobility and has accessible parking.
