B&B Le Miroir aux Fées Bordeaux

This is a charming, funky, B&B in a historical building. In a different mood we would have very much enjoyed our stay but one of us was not feeling well so the steep, windy stairs were a challenge. Our hostess was very friendly, accommodating, and spoke English wonderfully well.

It wasn’t well suited to our needs at the time but that wasn’t the B&Bs fault.

This was the best way to experience Bordeaux - staying in a family-run 18th century building right in the middle of the old city. The room had a great enchanting atmosphere, and the owners were amazingly accomodating and kind. everything was clean and well thought of. You can feel that there is a lot of love and intention in running and maintaining the place. It really felt like home!

Note that there is a spiral staircase, so might be hard if you have some mobility issues. No AC in the room though it didn't bother me even in the hot days, and the wifi was not very stable in the room.

Loved the location

Stairs a bit of a challenge

More like a boarding house. Only a few guests- I had a large room with plenty of space but my bathroom was in a small entry and whilst you can lock the bedroom and bathroom doors, the entry was only separated from the steep stairs by a curtain. I was fine with it but if I had my partner who needs bathroom access through the night both doors would need to be open and thus only separated by a curtain to the hall.

Owner lady lives on top floor. Not much privacy. Felt like I was being checked up on.
