What a gem of a property not far from any of the sights and activities in Bordeaux! From the time we arrived until we checked out the staff was very helpful giving us suggestions on places to eat along with how to navigate the city via tram that had a stop right by the hotel. Property had a good morning breakfast. Rooms were clean and a decent size, especially for French standards. Would definitely stay here again when in the area!

As a lone ,older, female traveler I must say that the staff could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and considering that I spoke very little French. They could not have been more helpful. The room was spacious, very clean , comfortable and extremely quiet. The breakfast facilities were adequate and there was plenty of variety. Again the staff were very attentive and friendly. I can recommend Hotel Vatel and would not hesitate to stay there again.

I commend the staff first and foremost for their graciousness and professionalism. They are superbly trained and will go above and beyond to accommodate a guest. They are patient, thorough and most of all friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Several choices, fresh and neatly displayed and the breakfast room was a lovely, peaceful start to the day. The tram into the centre was a mere steps away and despite the proximity the room was quiet. This place is a gem!

The hotel is located about a mile away from the Bordeaux city center. There is a metro station in front of the hotel, so it’s not hard to get around. The hotel is clean and there is a refrigerator in the room. We were there three days and on the first two days we were woken up by someone pounding a hammer to repair floors. Also, the WiFi would only connect to one phone in our room at a time.

We were looking for a hotel near the river to spend the night before the departure of our river cruise. As it turned out, we were able to walk from Hotel Vatel to the docking location of our ship (right next to the skateboard park). Hotel Vatel is conveniently located near a tram stop from which the town center and neighborhoods with more dining and shopping options are only a few stops away.

We had a great stay at the hotel. The room was spacious with modern decor. A lovely bathroom and shower and lots of storage space. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the area - it was a 25 min walk along the river or quick tram ride into the Old Town. A two minute walk to the Bord’Eau village - a great complex of shops and riverside restaurants. Also near the ferry over to Darwin which is a great place to visit. Will definitely stay at Hotel Vatel on our next visit.

Very large and comfortable room. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was just right. Only 12 rooms and the rest of the space is a hotel school, so seemed very busy but the 4th floor for the rooms was quiet. Great location right on the river and a few steps from the B-line tram. Easy to get to Cite du Vin in one direction and the historic city center in the other. Renovated warehouses across the way offered great shopping and cafes. We stayed 2 nights before a river cruise-it’s only a short walk to the river boats.

The room was quite large with plenty of storage space. The bathroom was large and new. Breakfast was continental with cereals, coldcuts and juices- very filling and a great way to start off the day. Very convenient to city sights and you can have a wonderful walk along the river promenade across the street from the hotel. We would not hesitate to recommend Vatel Hotel to future travelers.
