"Très beau séjour d'une nuit à l'hôtel BG de Bordeaux. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable. La décoration est superbe, l'ambiance est très cozy. On s'y sent comme chez soi. Le petit-déjeuner est excellent avec du choix pour tous les goûts. Si vous cherchez un endroit agréable à Bordeaux, je vous le recommande fortement. L'hôtel est situé directement face à une station de tramway et à environ 5 minutes de marche de la gare Saint-Jean. Les chambres sont petites, donc si vous avez besoin d'espace, ce n'est probablement pas le meilleur choix. Par contre, si vous cherchez un endroit avec une belle ambiance, du personnel plus que sympathique, de la propreté, bien situé, et que la dimension de la chambre ne vous importe pas, c'est un excellent choix ! Mention spéciale à la gentille Béatrice à la réception 👌❤️. J'y retournerai lors d'un futur séjour à Bordeaux, assurément !"
