ibis Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck
I have stayed here a few times before and it’s a great budget hotel in a great walkable location. I have always had a good experience here. This time I had a car and (especially for non-European drivers) the parking garage is really tight but it’s clean and easy to navigate.

Hotel Pullman Bordeaux Lac
The room was spacious, quiet and comfortable, staff were nice and friendly and I love the water taps to refill a bottle with sparkling or still water on every room level. I didn’t use the pool but it had a nice swimming pool for a quick splash!
