The essentials

For a charming bed and breakfast in central Bordeaux, the house matters more than the décor. Les Séraphines offers five rooms with private bathroom, individual air conditioning and homemade breakfast included, in an old townhouse renovated in 2022. From €140 a night for two.

What I have kept

The charm of an old Bordeaux townhouse

When I took over the house, I wanted you to feel that it has a history. The original wooden floors, the Bordeaux staircase and the high ceilings stayed, and the 2022 renovation simply brought them back into the light. You will not find five rooms copied from one another here: each has its own name, its own volume and its own detail, from the period fireplace in La Discrète to the skylights of La Mansardée.

I do not hide what the house is not: no swimming pool, no spa, no dinner in the evening. Its charm lies in its scale, in a very quiet street in the heart of the city, and in a host you bump into at breakfast.

Red-tile and slate rooftops, brick and terracotta chimneys, with trees and a blue sky

Which of the five rooms should you choose?

All have a private bathroom. The rest comes down to size, floor and what you want to see when you open your eyes. La Mansardée is not recommended for guests taller than 1.85 m.

The five rooms: size, floor, bedding and special feature
Room Size Floor Bedding Special feature
La Grande 25 m² 1st floor King 180 or 2 single beds The most spacious, from €140 a night for 2
La Belle 25 m² 2nd floor King 180 or 2 single beds View over the rooftops

La Discrète 18 m² 2nd floor Queen 160, fixed Period fireplace and sofa corner
La Mansardée 25 m² 3rd floor King 180 or 2 single beds Under the roof, 3 skylights, sitting area
Comfort, without compromise

A bed and breakfast with a homemade breakfast

A charming room also has to be a good place to sleep. The bedding is memory foam, the electric roller shutters black out the light completely, the TV connects through Chromecast and the Wi-Fi is fast. Coffee and tea are there to help yourself to all day long.

If you are looking for a bed and breakfast with a proper breakfast in Bordeaux, it is included with every night here: fresh, local produce, with homemade pastries and granola, served in the big living room. Several reviews mention it, along with the welcome and my tips for the city.

Where the house is

A bed and breakfast in the very centre of Bordeaux

The house is on rue Séraphin, between Saint-Bruno, Mériadeck, Hôtel de Région, Saint-Seurin and the Chartreuse. It is a 3-minute walk from trams A and F, and place Gambetta is 7 minutes away. For the Miroir d’eau, allow a 25-minute walk.

I mostly welcome travellers passing through, but also people from the metropolitan area: Mérignac and its airport, Le Bouscat, Talence, Pessac or Bègles. If you would like to give a stay to someone, gift vouchers are available.

Your questions

Booking a charming bed and breakfast in Bordeaux

How much does a charming bed and breakfast cost in Bordeaux?

Rooms start at €140 a night for two people (La Grande), homemade breakfast included. The exact price depends on the room and the dates, and the booking engine shows it. When you book direct, the best rate is guaranteed, with flexible cancellation terms.

How can I tell whether a bed and breakfast is truly charming?

Look at the building before the décor photos: have the original floors, the staircase and the high ceilings been kept? Count the rooms, because only five leaves real room for the host. Read the reviews too, which here mention the welcome, the advice and the breakfast.

Where should I stay in central Bordeaux to reach the station or the airport?

The house is a 3-minute walk from trams A and F (Saint-Bruno Hôtel de Région). Tram F reaches Saint-Jean station in 20 to 25 minutes and the airport in 25 to 30 minutes. There is no airport shuttle and no private car park.

Can I drop off my luggage before check-in?

Yes. Luggage storage is free on the day of arrival and the day of departure, and you can drop your bags before 3 pm, the check-in time. Check-out is by 11 am. A secure entry system lets you arrive and leave on your own if you prefer.
