IBIS BORDEAUX CENTRE MERIADECK, Bordeaux

Palais de Justice tram stop (line A) is 100 metres away, providing a direct 35-40 minute connection from Bordeaux Mérignac Airport and a 20-25 minute ride from Saint-Jean train station (bus line 1 also stops nearby). The city centre, Rue Sainte-Catherine pedestrian street, and numerous restaurants are within a 10-15 minute walk. A supermarket and local shops are directly across the street. For those driving, the hotel's underground parking is accessible via Rue Jean Fleuret. Areas such as Place de la Bourse and the historic old town are easily reached on foot or by tram.

All rooms include a private bathroom with a shower, hairdryer, and shampoo. Superior rooms add a kettle with tea/coffee. Standard double rooms have one double bed, while triple rooms have a double bed plus a sofa bed or two single beds. Room sizes are modest; triple rooms in particular can feel cramped when the sofa bed is extended. Windows can be opened for fresh air, and upper-floor rooms (8th+) offer quieter stays and better views. Heating is by radiators, and air conditioning is standard, though some units can be noisy. Soundproofing is generally effective, but road-facing rooms may experience noise with the window open. No rooms have a balcony.

Breakfast (€12) is a buffet with pastries baked on site, fresh madeleines, eggs, fruit salad, yogurts, juices, and a hot beverage plus a piece of fruit to take away. A lighter continental option is available from 04:00 for early departures. The restaurant offers regional French cuisine for dinner (19:00-22:30) and a bar menu with snacks around the clock. Dietary options include gluten-free bread and madeleines on request; vegan breakfast is not available. The bar serves wine, champagne, and has a terrace with outdoor furniture. During busy periods the breakfast room can get crowded.
