RESIDHOME BORDEAUX, Bordeaux

The hotel sits on a busy junction along the Garonne riverfront, offering direct access to the river promenade and the historic centre on foot (about 30 minutes) or via a 90-second tram ride from the stop outside. The Cité du Vin wine museum is a 5-minute walk, Halles de Bacalan food market is 3 minutes away, and the CAPC contemporary art museum is 2 km away. Mérignac Airport is 12 km away, reachable by tram with one change. Several restaurants, cafés, and a Monoprix supermarket are within a 1-minute walk, making car-free stays practical. The property is on a main road, so rooms at the front can experience significant traffic and nightlife noise; rooms facing the courtyard or bridge are noticeably quieter.

Each unit includes a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The kitchenette is fully stocked with a stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, kettle, cookware, and utensils, and a welcome pack with dishwasher tablet and coffee pods is provided. Rooms have a flat-screen TV, soundproof walls, air conditioning, and a safety deposit box. Studios sleep up to 2, while the larger apartment adds a separate living room and sofa bed for up to 4. Bedrooms feature large comfortable beds, and higher floors facing the bridge offer river views and a light display at night. The general room design is modern and clean, though some guests note the wardrobe is small and the cooking space is compact. Light sleepers should request a room away from the road because ground-level rooms on the street side can be exposed to street noise even with double glazing.

Breakfast is served each morning as a fully organic buffet (€17 per person) featuring fresh juices, seasonal fruits, breads, pastries, muesli and cereals, cheese, and ham. Food allergies and intolerances can be accommodated, and a breakfast-to-go box is available for an extra charge. Since there is no restaurant on the property, the kitchenette in each room is a practical alternative for preparing meals. The supermarket next door and the Halles de Bacalan market (3 minutes away) provide everything needed for self-catering, while several restaurants are within a short walk.

The property has a 24-hour front desk, lift, free Wi-Fi throughout, luggage storage, and a coin-operated laundry. Private underground parking costs €15 per day (max height 2m, reservation recommended). Additional services include fax/photocopying (free), safety deposit box (free), and board games. The property is fully non-smoking and has air conditioning, heating, and family rooms. Pets are allowed on request for €5-9 per night (one pet per apartment). Cots are available on request in advance.
