Five guest rooms in a renovated Bordeaux townhouse
The house is an old Bordeaux townhouse, completely renovated in 2022. I kept the original parquet floors, the Bordeaux staircase and the high ceilings, and added what you would expect from a good hotel: memory-foam bedding, individual air conditioning, electric blackout roller shutters and fast wifi.
Every room has its own personality and a private bathroom. The smallest is 18 m², the others 25 m². I am happy to help you choose to suit your stay, whether as a couple, with friends or for work.

La Grande
25 m², first floor, the most spacious
-
La Belle
25 m², second floor, view over the rooftops
-
La Lumineuse
18 m², second floor, window in the bathroom

-
La Mansardée

Homemade breakfast before you head back into town
It comes with your night and is served in the big living room. The produce is fresh and local, and the pastries and granola are homemade. Coffee and tea stay available to help yourself all day.
I do not run an evening table d’hôte. For dinner, I point you to my favourite addresses nearby, and groups hiring the whole house can have food delivered or a private chef come to the house.
Where to stay in central Bordeaux, between Saint-Bruno and Mériadeck
.CFz0nzjc_Z1hfbi1.webp)
The house is on a typical, very quiet street near the Hôtel de Région and Mériadeck, with Saint-Seurin and Chartreuse close by. It is the centre of Bordeaux, yet you would never guess it from the street.
Some of my guests come from the metropolitan area: Mérignac, Le Bouscat, Talence, Pessac or Bègles. They book a night in town for a birthday, a late dinner or an early appointment the next morning.
Staying in a guest house in central Bordeaux: my answers
Which area is best for staying in central Bordeaux?
My guests stay in the Saint-Bruno area, next to the Hôtel de Région and Mériadeck, with Saint-Seurin and Chartreuse close by. You are a 7-minute walk from place Gambetta, with two tram lines 3 minutes away to reach the rest of the city.
Guest house or city hotel: what is the difference?
I only have five rooms, and you are welcomed by your host rather than a front desk. Homemade breakfast is included, and you can even check in on your own if you need to. On the other hand, I have no restaurant, pool or spa: this is a house, not a resort.
Which room should we pick for a weekend for two?
La Discrète, with its period fireplace and sofa corner, is a favourite with couples. La Belle looks out over the rooftops, and La Grande, the most spacious, starts at €140 a night for two. All have a private bathroom and breakfast included.
Can I park near the guest house?
I do not have private parking: you park on the surrounding streets, and I suggest checking with me before you come. The tram is the easiest way to get around the city centre. For bikes, there is a private garage a few steps away as part of the Accueil Vélo scheme.
