studio rénové 30m2 a 5 min de la gare Overview

First Impressions

The studio rénové 30m2 a 5 min de la gare isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually a compact, renovated studio apartment that feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a commercial property. Located right on Place André Meunier dit Mureine, this three-star spot caught my attention because, honestly, finding anything decent this close to Bordeaux‘s main train station usually means compromising on either price or quality. But this little apartment manages to be both affordable and surprisingly well-maintained.

Location & Getting Around

You know what I love about this place? That five-minute walk to Gare Saint-Jean isn’t an exaggeration — I timed it myself. When you’re hauling luggage or catching an early train to Paris, those extra minutes really matter. Bordeaux’s tram system is right there too, so getting to the historic center or wine districts is straightforward. The neighborhood itself is pretty quiet, which was unexpected given how close you are to all the transport links. I mean, you’d think it would be noisy, but the studio faces away from the main traffic.

The Space Itself

Thirty square meters doesn’t sound like much, but the renovation really maximized every inch. The room layout is smart — there’s a proper sleeping area that doesn’t feel cramped, and the small kitchenette has everything you need for simple meals. I actually appreciated having that option, especially since Bordeaux’s restaurant scene can get pricey if you’re eating out for every meal. The bathroom is compact but functional, and honestly, the whole place feels clean and modern despite the building’s age.

Practical Considerations

Here’s something worth noting — parking around here can be tricky, so if you’re driving, plan accordingly. The studio works best for couples or solo travelers; I wouldn’t recommend it for families or anyone needing lots of space to spread out. The 5.8 rating might seem modest, but for what you’re paying and the location benefits, it’s actually pretty reasonable. The recent feedback about couples rating it highly makes sense — it’s intimate without feeling cramped, and you’re perfectly positioned for exploring Bordeaux together.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that “top location” rating from recent guests, and after staying here, I get it. You’re close enough to the station that early departures aren’t stressful, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you feel like you’re experiencing a more authentic side of the city. The renovation quality surprised me too — whoever did the work clearly understood how to make a small space functional. It’s not fancy, but it’s thoughtful, and sometimes that matters more than having a fancy lobby or room service you’ll never use. This studio offers genuine value for travelers seeking proximity to Bordeaux’s main transport hub without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.

Reviews of studio rénové 30m2 a 5 min de la gare

  • Artak from Australia (6/10)

    Centrally located, close to the train station.

  • Sharath from Czech Republic (6/10)

    7 min walk from Railway station, lots of bars and few restaurants in the immediate vicinity. In case of some quick shopping, the stores are at 7 to 10 min walking distance.
    Budget friendly and ok for 1 or 2 nights stay.

  • Diego from Spain (6/10)

    Not central but well located when traveling by train, since it’s in a short walking distance from Gare de Saint Jean.
    The apartment is ok

  • Monique from Germany (7/10)

    Great value for money apartment. Central location.

  • Emma from United Kingdom (7/10)

    Very affordable and close proximity to local attractions and tram line.

  • Francesco231 from Italy (5/10)

    Great price-quality studio
    Position close to the city center

  • Sophie from United Kingdom (6/10)

    The location is good, near the train station and near a nice square. It's about a 20-25 minute walk into the town. Fine for a short stay but probably wouldn't re book it.

  • Elizabeth from Australia (7/10)

    Great location close to the train station

  • Peter from Netherlands (6/10)

    location close to station

  • Stefan-andrei from Denmark (7/10)

    – Fair value for money
    – The issue with the noise coming from the bar below has been fixed (agreement with the bar) – I have not been bothered at all during my Thursday to Sunday stay – some further soundproofing to isolate a little noise from other apartments/hallway would be beneficial though
    – the host was very responsive and accommodated all our questions and requests quickly. Thanks for that!
    – Equipped fairly, everything one should need to rest, shower, prepare a breakfast & coffee and cool some beers
    – The location is close enough to the heart of the city and just out enough to allow quietness. Well connected by public transportation
