Charmant studio à Bordeaux

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this little studio on Rue de Bègles? It’s got that perfectly imperfect Bordeaux charm – the kind of place where the character actually comes from the quirks, not despite them. I mean, we’re talking about a genuine neighborhood spot here, not some sanitized tourist bubble. The 7.1 rating honestly feels about right – it’s solid without pretending to be something it’s not.

The location is actually pretty clever if you know Bordeaux at all. Rue de Bègles puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk into the city center (maybe 20 minutes if you’re not in a rush), but you’re living alongside actual Bordelais people instead of just other travelers. There’s this little boulangerie about three doors down that does these incredible pain au chocolat – I’m talking still-warm-at-7am incredible. The tram’s nearby too, which honestly saved my legs more than once after long days exploring the wine bars in Saint-Pierre. Parking can be a bit of a dance around here, but that’s just Bordeaux for you.

What I really appreciated was how the studio felt lived-in rather than sterile. The owner clearly put thought into the little things – good water pressure (thank god), decent wifi that actually worked for video calls, and this tiny but surprisingly functional kitchenette where I could make proper coffee in the mornings. The space itself is compact, sure, but it’s smart compact, not cramped compact. Though I’ll be honest, if you’re traveling with more than one other person or have serious claustrophobia issues, you might want to look elsewhere. The windows face the street, so there’s some ambient city noise – nothing terrible, but light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. Actually, I kind of liked hearing the neighborhood come alive in the mornings, felt more authentic than those soundproofed hotel boxes. The whole setup just works for what it is: a comfortable base for exploring one of France’s most underrated cities, where you can grab fresh oysters at the Marché des Capucins, spend afternoons getting properly wine-educated in Chartrons, and still have a cozy spot to decompress without breaking the bank.

• Decent option for a couple nights – Jessica from Canada – 31 March 2024 (7/10)

  The location was decent, everything was very clean, and it was a decent size.
  
  What could be improved: Any noise in the building was very obvious. We were only staying two nights and the check-in and out times were strictly enforced (4pm / 10am) — having 6 hours for turnaround seems a bit much. The bed was not very comfortable, and there was no TV in the room.

  El apartamento está muy bien pero la ubicación no tanto, tienes que ir con cuidado por la noche. El tener la entrada a las 16 de la tarde, hace que pierdas ése día y no lo puedas aprovechar para ver la ciudad…la salida es muy temprano por lo tanto hay un margen de tiempo amplísimo entre salida y entrada de los inquilinos.
  Hay una lavandería compartida, con montañas de toallas en el suelo esperando para lavar… durante nuestra estancia las lavadoras no funcionaban, estaba la misma ropa húmeda dentro, cuando llegamos y a los 4 días de irnos…se la comuniqué a oa propietaria y me indicó que tenia que esperar a que " la lavadora acabará"…no funcionaba…las comprobé, las desenchufe y no habia electricidad…

• Passable – Oi from France – 2 July 2025 (5/10)
