Une Chambre Chez Dupont

Loved the location with local bakery below, fresh fruits store next door and lots of restaurants nearby. Also loved the high floor-to-ceiling windows that let the light in and opened to see the spires of the cathedral across the street and the jasmine vines that wrapped around the French balcony. Wow! The decor is retro chic but the bathroom is more contemporary which is perfect for me.

Perhaps a little curtain at the entry way of the glass enclosure shower stall. A bit struggling with the luggages to the first floor which is actually the second floor of the building with a beautifully curved staircase.

Fantastic room with quirky details. If you prefer a place to stay with character this is definitely it. The area around is full of nice cafes and restaurants and only about 15 minute walk to the centre.

Nothing

The hotel is just lovely. It's located at a prime location in Chantrons, on a street many refer to as the most beautiful street in Bordeaux. Our apartment was on the third floor, but it was worth the climb. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom, and the best part was skylight windows that offered lots of sunlight and that we could open for fresh air. The two rooms had individual temperature controls, which was very helpful since my friend likes the cold and I don't. The bed was very comfortable, as was the futon in the living room. It's a very special place. The manager Jeanne, was amazing. She would check in on us every day to see if we needed anything. I had a logistics crisis with my luggage while I was there, and Jeanne was available and helped me arrange taxis, called around to get information, and checked in on off hours and over her vacation day to make sure I was okay. It was above and beyond, and I am grateful she was there.

Tips: Uber drivers cannot always get into the Chartrons district since they don't have the entry card and the phone assistance at the gate doesn't always work. Use a certified taxi. And if you don't like stairs, stay at a lower level.

The room was beautiful with large windows overlooking the church and located in an interesting part of the city. Even nicer was staying just above a really good boulangerie! The room was tastefully and originally decorated and was my first time sleeping in a round bed. All went well although i didn't always wake up facing cardinal points.

What we didn't understand was that the room was just that, a room, with no hotel lobby associated with it. It was a bit like staying in an AirBnB, which i don't prefer since i like having a hotelier who can give advice on where to eat and what to visit. We didn't meet her until we were leaving the room for our next destination. When we met her, she seemed perfectly helpful and pleasant, but we didn't see her for the duration of our 3-day stay in Bordeaux.
