Maison du Lierre Bordeaux Centre ville

This hotel was just not worth the price. It not only was far from many places in Bordeaux, but it was also in a weird & hard-to-get-to part of town. The feeling the owners of the hotel wanted you to have was of a place much nicer than this. The rooms were so-so and the breakfast area was very strange and not inviting. There were random books lying around at each place & i guess we were supposed to read them ( ?). I love books but I found the display a bit off-putting- as well as the breakfast itself.

On arrival at the hotel we informed the superior room we had booked was not available . we were given room number 1 . A room which required you to have the lights on at all time as there was only a small window and this looked out on to the guest courtyard and with the curtains open anybody in the courtyard could see in . we thought breakfast was included however it was not . we were charged 24 euros for a tea / coffee and ham and a slice of cheese and another guests left over bread roll . Eloise on reception was charming and helpful . We liked Bordeaux and considered staying another night and asked for a discount on the room for the extra night ( as we were not staying in a superior room ) the manager who we did not speak was totally inflexible and appeared from the staffs perspective to be a difficult person , I emailed him on my return he didnt read the email properly or acknowledged we had been given the wrong room in fact he was very unpleasant and indicated he thought i was telling a lie .and threatening him .
