Guest reviews for Novotel Bordeaux Centre

3 out of 5
This hotel was just ok. Room was very small and a bit out dated with a musty smell. Our last night the AC didn't work well and we were very uncomfortable. It had been ok initially. We were a family of 4 and found it difficult to navigate the small space. Lobby was nice though staff didn't seem to want to help much unless you approached them. The area was just ok - not far from some really nice things and the above ground metro was close. Be mindful there are 2 Novotel properties in Bordeaux so make sure you know which one you are booking. There was no coffeemaker in the room and the hairdryer was really ancient. We stayed in France for 2 weeks and this was our least favorite property of our vacation. We stayed at a Novotel in the previous city we visited and it was much nicer than this one in Bordeaux. There was a pinball machine in the lobby (free) which my son loved!
