Appartement Boucheries Centre Ville Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Appartement Boucheries Centre Ville on Rue des Boucheries, you immediately know you’ve found something special. This three-star property sits right in the beating heart of Bordeaux, and I mean literally — you’re surrounded by the kind of medieval streets that make this city so enchanting. The building itself has that classic French charm, tucked between local shops and cafés that locals actually frequent, not just tourist traps.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location here is what sets this place apart — couples consistently rate it over 9 out of 10, and after staying here, I totally get why. You’re a two-minute walk from Place du Parlement, where you can grab morning coffee and watch the city wake up. The tram stops are close enough that you don’t need to think about transportation, but far enough that you won’t hear them at night. What I love most is how you can wander down these narrow cobblestone streets and stumble upon wine bars that have been here for decades.

The Space Itself

The apartment feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place than a typical hotel room. There’s a proper kitchen where you can actually cook — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. I ended up making breakfast most mornings because the local market on Rue Sainte-Catherine is just around the corner, and honestly, starting your day with fresh croissants and local cheese beats any hotel breakfast buffet. The space has character too — exposed beams, original stonework, the kind of details that remind you you’re in a building with real history.

Neighborhood Life

What really struck me about this area is how it balances tourist appeal with genuine local life. You’ve got the Musée d’Aquitaine practically next door, but you’re also surrounded by the kind of neighborhood bistros where regulars have their usual tables. The evening scene here is perfect — you can walk to some of Bordeaux’s best wine bars without dealing with crowds, then slip back to your quiet street when you’re ready to call it a night. There’s parking nearby if you’re driving, though honestly, once you’re here, you won’t need your car much.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gives you the independence of your own space while keeping you connected to everything that makes Bordeaux special. The 8.3 rating reflects what I experienced — it’s not trying to be fancy, but it nails the fundamentals while giving you that authentic French living experience. You know what really sold me? Sitting by the window in the evening with a bottle of local wine, watching people head home from work down these ancient streets. That’s the kind of moment you can’t get in a standard hotel, and it’s exactly why places like Appartement Boucheries Centre Ville have such devoted fans.

  • Stevecofield from Italy (9/10)

    The apartment was close to everything. Despite being on a main road, it was very quiet. I didn't cook, so I can't comment on the facilities, but there seemed to be everything. The only thing I would say is that there were no cups and the glasses were a real mix. The bed was very comfortable, and the WiFi was excellent. I would stay again.
