A lovely stay in a good location. A very welcome host. Typical good Breakfast. Spacious bathroom

Rather special Maison d'Hote

The hotel and service was very nice. The owner was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very nice. There was no air conditioning and the temperatures were in the 90's so we could not get cool when in our room.

My wife and I had a great night at your place. You run this very well. Not bad for a one man show so to speak!! Thanks again. If you find a small bag of presents it might be ours so please let us know and we'll arrange for it to be sent back to us.

This hotel is trying to be a boutique hotel and it could be great but a lot of things are lacking. For example, there is a limited amount (120 litres per day) of hot water, there is a lack of good quality toileteries, no slippers in the room, a faulty safe and a poor level of cleanliness. There are also thin walls and you can hear everything from the next room. However, the hotel is in a good location within easy walking distance of the old town. I wouldn't rush to rebook.

not there yet

The host was friendly and helpful. Very accommodating in his home. The rooms were pleasant, clean and comfortable. We only stayed for one night but could've stayed longer! The hotel was well located close to the 'downtown' area of Bordeaux.

One night in Bordeaux, was not enough!

The traffic noise was so bad we could not sleep. The owner had ear plugs (I assume other people had complained) even using them we could not have a good nights sleep.The bed was very hard and the bathroom below average for a Deluxe room which is what we booked. This is not a hotel but a Chambres D' Hotes, lovely building but we would certainly not book the L'Arene again.

I contacted the hotel that our flight lands at 10.05 pm and we'd like to check-in at 11.00 pm to get the following message from the owner: "As mentioned on the Expedia's site and in my mail dated 25/2/17, the check-in is between 5 pm to 7.30 pm. We can accept one hour delay but so much. I suggest to change your flight or to change your booking." This is two days before our trip, there was no prior communication from the hotel to us whatsoever. I dread to think what would have happened if we arrived in Bordeaux in the middle of the night with no hotel to check in. Clearly, they don't want any business and have no idea of customer service. Run as far as you can from this hotel!

Two hour check-in window, very rude owner - ridiculous

This is one of those times where the accommodations look beautiful in the photos but very different in the reality. This was not my first time in a B&B. My room looks outdated with a dirty carpet. The bathroom floor was not clean as other people mentioned. I checked out one day earlier even tough i knew i will not get a refund. The breakfast is very basic. what really strikes me is that they charge 11 euro in a B&B for a continental breakfast. I only had coffee and the owner insisted that i will pay 11 euros claiming it's my choice if to have the so called full breakfast or not.

Very Dissapointing

We stayed for three nights on a long weekend in Bordeaux. This is an elegant and charming place to stay and was perfect for our visit to the city.

L'Arene is located in a historical residential area just a short walk from the city centre. We had a view of the Palais Galien from our room's window. Our room was spacious, with a small chiller, great for keeping water cold. 

The room was stylish, in keeping with the historic character of the building, and decorated with care. We liked the neighbourhood location - it was quiet, but only a short walk to great restaurants, the park, and cafes. 

We were really impressed by Bordeaux - it's an excellent choice for a city break, and L'Arene was a great place to stay.



Elegant townhouse 

We visited early in the new year and had a wonderful stay. The hotel is unique in that it combines contemporary style with a classic and homely ambience. It is centrally located and served a quality breakfast of breads, cheeses and ham. Jean-Marie was a friendly and welcoming host with some invaluable tips on two fantastic local restaurants, the region of Bordeaux and all it had to offer as well as being an informative expert on the local wines. A hidden gem.
