Hotel Description

Look, T3 pleincentre airconditionné isn’t going to win any design awards, but honestly? It’s exactly what you need when you’re exploring Bordeaux without breaking the bank. I mean, the name pretty much tells you everything – it’s a three-room place, smack in the center, with AC that actually works (which, trust me, you’ll appreciate during those sticky summer afternoons when everyone’s crowding the Place de la Comédie).

The location is what really makes this spot shine. You’re right on Rue Sainte-Catherine – Europe’s longest pedestrian shopping street, if you’re into that sort of thing – but more importantly, you’re a five-minute walk from all the good stuff. The morning market at Marché des Capucins is close enough that you’ll smell the fresh bread and coffee before you even think about getting dressed. And here’s something most people don’t realize: being on Sainte-Catherine means you can duck into any number of side streets to escape the tourist crowds. There’s this little wine bar, Le Petit Commerce, just around the corner that locals actually frequent – you know, the kind of place where they’ll let you taste three different Bordeaux reds before you commit to a glass.

The apartment itself is pretty straightforward – clean, functional, nothing fancy. The air conditioning is honestly the star here (and probably why they put it right in the name). During my stay in July, while other travelers were melting in their historic but stuffy accommodations, I was sleeping comfortably. The space feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I actually prefer. Sure, the furniture isn’t Instagram-worthy, and the bathroom could use some updating, but everything works. The kitchen has what you need if you want to grab some cheese and wine from the nearby Monoprix and have a quiet evening in. Actually, the windows face the street, so it’s not exactly quiet – but it’s the good kind of city noise, you know? People chatting as they walk by, the occasional street musician, that sort of thing.

What struck me most was how the place feels authentically Bordelais rather than touristy. The building has that weathered limestone look that’s everywhere in the old city, and you get a real sense of living like a local. The 7.1 rating makes sense – it’s not luxury, but it delivers on what it promises. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was planning to spend most of my time wandering the city rather than lounging around the accommodation. Just pack light – the stairs are narrow and there’s no elevator, which is pretty typical for these old Bordeaux buildings.

  • Françoise from France (7/10)

  • Monica from Italy (8/10)

    L’appartamento è accogliente anche se piccolo. Noi eravamo 2 ma avevamo 4 letti a disposizione più un grosso divano. L’host ci ha lasciato delle cialde per il caffè ma poca carta igienica e manco una bottiglietta d’acqua.

  • Marion from France (6/10)

    Les plus :
    – la climatisation qui est la très bienvenue en période chaude
    – l'emplacement au début de la rue Sainte Catherine, plein de choses accessibles à pied

  • Cristina from Spain (6/10)

    La situación del apartamento. Céntrico y bien comunicado.
    El baño, reformado y nuevo.
    La cocina dejaba mucho que desear. No la hemos usado

  • Nathalie from France (6/10)

    Bien situé mais rue très bruyante.
    Une belle rénovation qui mériterait d’être entretenue.

  • Michel from France (7/10)

    L'appartement est côté cour, je suis ce qui évite les bruits directs de la rue.il est relativement propre et bien équipé
    Un parking couvert payant à 100m et deux lignes de tram permettent de se déplacer facilement.
