After a busy day exploring Bordeaux, the hotel's proximity to the pool and easy exit route was convenient, despite some noise from the road outside. However, considering the price of over £250 per night, I expected a quieter room.

Although the hotel was a bit out of the way from the central destination area of Bordeaux, the location was lovely, overlooking the pool at the back of the hotel. It offered a serene and calm atmosphere, away from the noise pollution of the city. Despite being just outside the main area of Bordeaux, it provided a peaceful retreat.
