Located near the center city, Hotel Burdigala provides a quiet refuge from Bordeaux site seeing. Some of the front desk staff were helpful during our three day stay and the restaurant staff proved unfailingly pleasant. The hotel gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and served delicious breakfasts and nice afternoon light food at the bar when needed. From there it was an easy walk to a tram to visit city sites. Excellent room maintenance. My advice would be to avoid a room with a flat corner shower with no enclosure in the bathroom, since morning showers sent water pretty much all over the bathroom floor. The bathroom was spacious but lacked any kind of storage cabinet or small stand to hold toiletries. We enjoyed our stay there.
