4-Star Hotels in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

It is not easy to rate this establishment. Its not that its not good, just it may be good for a small segment of travellers. The B&B is in a renovated old building with some very nice architectural artefacts. However, the design of the use of space is not too friendly to a traveler, especially if you plan to stay there for a few days or more. Let me first talk about the things I like about this B&B: 1. Beautiful old building, 2. very good room size for the room I rented, including a huge bathroom with bathtub. The room is bright with two big french door and window. Areas that I think it would improve to make staying there more enjoyable and convenient: 1. There is no closet or to put your clothes, so we have to lay out all our clothings on a big coach. If you have clothes, pants and jackets you want to hang, you may be out of luck, since there is very little space for hanging clothes, and the hangers supplied could not hang pants. So we lay our pants on the big couch. 2. The night tables are very small and not too much space to put a tablet and a phone and a glass of water there.We have to put the table lamp on the floor in order to make space for other items. 3. The toilet is in a different room outside of the bedroom area, and away from the bathroom. Unfortunately, there is no sink in the toilet area, and each time after going to toilet, one have to walk over to the bathroom to wash your hands, a bit inconvenient. 4. On arrival, we were asked what kind of bread we want in the morning, we indicated chocolate croissant, and we were given that for the 5 days we stayed there for breakfast. I think it would have been nice if they have offered other choices each morning. 5. There is no menu for the breakfast, and person looking after the breakfast would come and ask what you want. Unless I know of all the items that they can provide, I could only ask for the familiar items. I thought a simple menu with different offerings would be useful for clients.

The hotel is a bit far from the city's attractions, but it's only a 15-minute walk from the train station, and there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making transportation quite convenient. A public parking lot is just across the street. While dining options nearby are limited, the hotel's own restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The breakfast is also good.

The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station. It is very clean and quiet, so it’s easy to sleep at night. The only thing we didn’t like is that you can’t adjust aircon to be very cold, so we had to open windows to let in some cool air.

It's very close to the train station, just a few minutes' walk, perfect for catching an early train. It's about a 10-15 minute drive from the city center. Overall, the rooms are relatively spacious but comfortable. If you don't like red wine, I wouldn't recommend the medieval town. You absolutely must go to Akashon for oysters—delicious and inexpensive! The sand dunes are also well worth visiting!

🟢 The location was very convenient and easy to travel around. We parked there and then used the tramway to get around. Convenient and easy. The inside of the building looks fresh and good. The rooms were quite big so we could spread everywhere. Surprised to see the toilets and showers separated, but enjoyable. Large choice for the breakfast for 18€ but had to wait sometimes for refill. 🔴 the staff wasn't really friendly except if you were the one to do your approach and talk to them. There was an alarm early morning during our stay and no-one was at the reception to greet us and tell us if we had to evacuate or anything. When we (other clients and us) told the réceptionnist it wasn't normal she got upset and replied back instead of apologising or anything. The staff didn't know what they were supposed to do in this case. Not reassuring if there's an actual fire someday. 🟡 cleaning wasn't amazing but could have been worse so no comment on that.

The hotel is quite near Gare de Bordeaux St Jean, about 10 minutes’ light walking distance away. The hotel is neat and tidy. It provides free apples upon check-in. There’s a mix-up about breakfast, which I was almost charged for upon check-out when the staff at check-in mentioned all was already included in my booking (city tax and breakfast). She even mentioned dinner was included. Thankfully, I checked again with her, and she mentioned I could check them out and pay upon check-out. Duh. However, in the end, the breakfast fees were waived off, thankfully. There’s a water dispenser near the lift where we could top up water. There’s a fridge and safe deposit box, as well as coffee and tea sachets available in the room. The lighting was not that bright in the room, but since it’s already May, the sunset happens after 9 p.m. anyway, so it’s not a big issue. I think they purposely made the room a bit darker as well for ambiance, maybe.

Nathalie and David were delightful hosts and made us feel very welcome. Lovely home, beautifully furnished room, modern facilities and extremely well maintained. Spotlessly clean. Relaxed, quiet and feeling like one was living in one's own country home apartment. Quiet location in the center of the town - easy to access and free parking public parking within a one-minute walk from the residence. Private peaceful garden with nice pool which is excellent for just sitting back to read a book with a nice bottle of wine. Breakfast choice was extensive with nice touches prepared by David including freshly prepared home-made preserves. Would thoroughly recommend this wonderful accommodation as an excellent base for discovering both St Emillion and the surrounding area. Have stayed in many hotels and apartments around the Saint-Emilion area but Pavillon de Millesimes rates as one of the best. We will definitely be back.

It was my wine tour’s first stop and I’ve decided to check in one day earlier to minimize the hectic change of hotel (was hooping between hotels in the next 4 days 😅). Issue it’s not close to train station and you need to walk 20 mins to SNFC for Bordeaux. That said, it was a zen and relaxing area and if you do not need move around a lot and it’s nice spending a few days relaxing. What was the best is the staff (Natasha and Emilie, sorry didn’t ask the spelling 😅), they were super friendly and helpful - sparing one pair of slippers for me coz my room’s grading didn’t include slippers 😅), which I didn’t prepare any slippers. The ladies did me a great favour and I cannot survive without slippers in hotel 🤣 Lastly Natasha has shown me a detailed map which I can walk to Libourne SNFC to reach my tour buddies, which has eased my life in Libourne too 😍

A cosy little hotel in an old stone building, with a restaurant facing the courtyard in the old town of Bayonne. It's a little far from the central station (20min walk with luggage), but ideal if you want to immerse in the old town feel. There are also bus stops nearby. The restaurant serves good food (not the best but still convenient if you're too tired to go out). I liked that they had nice black tea from a local tea brand at breakfast and in the rooms. The amenity was decent but my first room had nice bathrobes and no tissue box, and my second room had a tissue box but no bathrobe. I got allergic reactions in one room from the room fragrance. The staff aren’t very organized but friendly and kind. Overall I enjoyed my stay but I think it didn’t match the price.

Maison Chiberta had very lovely staff! They were doing an exceptional job in the heat!! Our room was stylish but lacked storage, but very lovely and clean and that’s probably our fault for booking a small room. The breakfast wasn’t fantastic and there were a lot of flies around the food all morning, no fly nets were used by the hotel for some reason. It feels like some of the hotel eg. The rooms, has been renovated to a very high standard. But then other areas were completely lacking. No AC or fans in communal areas and the gym for example was very hot and the floor wasn’t grippy so it was very slippy in there. I’m not sure we would stay again but we did love the area with our car. I would realistically say it is a 3 star hotel with 4 star potential.
