STUDENT FACTORY BORDEAUX ARMAGNAC, Bordeaux

Located 14 km from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, the aparthotel is well placed for train travellers: the main station is within walking distance. A tram stop is just 3 minutes away, giving access to the city centre in about 20-30 minutes by public transport. A bus stop at the door also serves the centre. Nearby landmarks include the Stone Bridge (2 km) and Saint-Michel Basilica (3 km). A supermarket and bakery are a 5-minute walk away. The immediate area is a quiet developing district, so car access and parking are limited; use the tram or bus for most trips.

Each unit includes a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, cookware, and a dining area - functional for preparing simple meals. The bathroom has a shower. Many studios have a private terrace or patio with outdoor furniture. The property also has a shared kitchen on site. Attention to practical points: rooms have blackout curtains, ample storage and a work desk. However, there is no air conditioning; during warm weather, opening a window may let in mosquitoes, so use the provided fans. Some units have a view of the developing area. Bedding can be firm or thin; the bed frame is low to the floor.

Each studio is equipped with a kitchenette, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. A shared kitchen is also available for additional cooking needs. A supermarket and a bakery are within a 5-minute walk for groceries and fresh bread. Two nearby dining options include Sushi Design and Pizza Giulia, both about 500 metres away. A coffee machine in the communal area offers drinks for €1.20. The property does not offer a breakfast service, so plan to buy supplies or eat out.

The property features a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a shared lounge with a TV area - both well-regarded for quiet downtime. A selection of board games and puzzles is available. There is no pool, spa or gym. An ice-skating rink is located nearby for alternative leisure.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. Express and private check-in/out is automated via a machine; you will receive codes for entry. If the machine fails, go to the office on the 5th floor. Luggage storage is available after check-out (depending on luggage size, office is closed from 12:00 to 14:00). Laundry facilities are available for an extra charge.
