Hôtel Gare St-Jean

At home in an attractive 18th-century hôtel particulier, this three-star family-friendly hotel (also called Hôtel Royal St-Jean) is the top choice to overnight on the doorstep of Bordeaux’s train station. Its 37 recently renovated rooms sport crisp white and steel-grey colour schemes, up-to-the-minute bathrooms and tea-/coffee-making facilities. The complimentary coffee and jars of sweets in the lobby-bar are a nice touch. Breakfast €14.
