Citotel le Regina Bordeaux Gare Saint-Jean

Perfect! Right opposite the train station and bus stop for airport meaning a trip without a car was smooth. I see a few comments about the rooms and it wasn’t the Marriot in terms of room standard but it was local and authentic. Spotlessly clean, everything in the room worked , it was comfortable and the right temperature. The breakfast was  very good and well worth the small cost. The staff were so very helpful and gave advice about a day trip to the Dune du Pilat and how to walk to the restaurant area in the city centre and gave me a city map. Highly recommended, don’t hesitate to stay. They also offered me a left luggage facility while I went out for the day after checking out. Note that the railway station is very large. Depending which door you come out of it’s to left of the centre of the station as you come out. Just a few meters from the station. Perfect!

Not like the photos – felt unhygienic and poor quality I booked this hotel because it looked decent on the booking site, but the reality was very different. The room I got had only a tiny window, and it smelled like an old, damp house. The overall feel was just outdated and poorly maintained. What bothered me the most was how unhygienic it felt. The towel looked old and worn out, even though it smelled okay. There was hair on the blanket, and there wasn’t even a proper duvet—just a thin, old blanket with a single cover that didn’t even fully wrap around it. It honestly made me uncomfortable staying there. The one good thing was the staff—they were very friendly and helpful. And yes, the location is right next to the train station, but there are other hotels nearby for a similar price. In short, the room did not match the photos at all, and the cleanliness and quality were way below what I expected.

The room was dusty when we first checked in but was better after they cleaned the room the next day. There is no water provided for this room type. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay there. The hotel is located right next to the train station and is a 15-20 minute tram ride to the main shopping area, which is very convenient.

Very friendly and helpful staff! Location is really nice closed to various restaurants!
