Maison Pavlov

My wife and I spent 6 nights at the end of March on the recommendation of Viking Cruise lines. The staff was absolutely wonderful and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. The owner also personally checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything we needed. The chef's meals were excellently prepared and presented as well as delicious. The property is very nicely decorated and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. If you are looking for a place to stay in Bordeaux, this is a great option to choose and will be the only place we stay on future trips to the region.

Charming and beautifully remodeled hotel with fabulous furnishings and fabrics. Rooms are decorated and very comfortable. Wonderful bathrooms, too! Service was great with lots of suggestions for first time visitors to Bordeaux. And, the tram is directly in front and only 4 t stops into center👍👍

There’s a saying about “lemons” to “lemonade” When our long-anticipated cruise turned into a different kind of time spent in Bordeaux, we were thrilled to have “found” a relatively newly opened GEM of an *awesome* hotel. The Maison Pavlov is NOT a chain hotel! It has only 8 rooms, and my goodness but they are not at all your standard room! The photos I’m posting don’t do the hotel justice - but my breath was truly taken away - from the round, lighted bathroom mirror, to the motorized open Pavilion ceiling to the private courtyard: all I could say was, “WOW!” The on-site restaurant is lively, charming, and yet personal. Delicious, healthy meals are served (yes, there are sauces - but in appropriate quantity to complement the meal). Breakfast is perfect: omelets, scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, French bread, and COFFEE with heavenly croissants, through lunch, and dinner. Their wine selection is just right - with local Bordeaux wines featured - and a bottle/night (OK, a bottle PLUS) - is a lovely way to end the day. The Maison Pavlov does offer a Spa experience (although we didn’t try this benefit). Our luggage had been lost (but now is found), and there is not only a Pharmacy nearby (NOTE: always take your meds in your carry-on!), but we also happened upon a Monoprix (which sells all kinds of sundries) to tide us over until our luggage arrived. (Yes - we avoided the local McDonald’s - but others may not have the same restraint.) The “old town” (near the River), is a somewhat far walk, however there is a lovely park (Park Bordelais) not far from the hotel. And for those more adventurous, the silent - electric - “trolley” runs right past the hotel. Also in the area are other small grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes. From the owner’s warm and personal welcome (THANK you, Mary!), to the help we have received from every member of the staff reminds me of how life *should* be. A memory I will never forget - and a hotel I hope to return to!

Méfiance. Menu de midi soit disant 46€ entrée /plat/dessert et facturé à la carte pour … 50€. Un service (surtout une jeune femme) un peu « débutant «  et pas vraiment à la hauteur. Un parasol qui tombe sur la table : une autre femme de service qui ne s’excuse même pas et vous dit « ah bon? Je ne comprends pas comment ça a pu se produire « . Tout très très limite.

Belle découverte que ce restaurant gastronomique… dans une décoration éclectique et raffinée, les tables sont espacées… menu dégustation à aiguiser les papilles par des mélanges de saveurs inattendues mais intéressantes… Service discret mais efficace.

Un tres bel endroit pour diner en extérieur dans un cadre raffiné et reposant. Le service est tres agreable et professionnel. Le menu degustation, une merveille pour les papilles. Originaux, sophistiqués, les plats sont savoureux. A découvrir absolument !
