first of all very great staff and very friendly with great English. We hv free crissant available (time to time) as well as wster refill, and mint water too! secondly, ver excellent location, cannot beat this, 5 mins to Gambetta square where along that 5 mins walk to Gambetta there are many high end stores like louis vuitton, hermes, lancet, etc. as well as lical leather made, there is also a BK Burger King is at the corner there. Majestic but very old Cathedral St Andre is about 7 mins walk. Rue Catherine shopping, the longest pedestrian stores in France... about 15 minn walk. The road (rue temple) in front of the hotel is not accessible by car, and either the next wide road at the end of rue temple where thr trams are passing by, this is just 3 minutes from hotel. The hotel it self is a renovated 200 year old building, very beautifully snd neatly done! Huge white blocks of stones are visible on the wall, especially around a beautiful stair case. The room is not big but enough for both of us, great shower room good size 2x4 ft with both rain head and handheld shower head! , bed, room light is good too, etc.

Beautiful city - great hotel
Lovely hotel. We were upgraded to a deluxe comfort room. Check in was easy and staff very helpful. The rooms were clean and well decorated, comfortable beds and air conditioning too! Bordeaux is a beautiful city. Driving around isn’t easy as it’s mostly pedestrianised but the staff in the hotel were very helpful with directions and maps and we received discounted parking locally, with our stay. Family friendly - yes.

Best Western Grand - Review
### Review of Best Western Grand Hotel Francais in Bordeaux, France I recently enjoyed another pleasant stay at the Best Western Grand Hotel Francais in Bordeaux. Having stayed here multiple times, I can confidently say this hotel consistently meets my expectations, and I would gladly return. **Highlights:** - **Great Location:** The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to walk to key attractions such as the Grand Theater and the river. - **Cleanliness:** The rooms and common areas are impeccably clean. - **Wonderful Staff:** The reception staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. - **Eco-Friendly Amenities:** The new water dispenser system near the reception is a fantastic addition, helping to reduce plastic waste. **Room and Amenities:** - The rooms, though small, are creatively designed to maximize space. For business travelers like myself who primarily need a place to sleep, the room size is not an issue. - The rooms are well-maintained and equipped with all necessary amenities. **Breakfast:** - The breakfast is good, offering a variety of options without being overly grand. However, both the rooms and breakfast are on the expensive side, which is typical for Bordeaux. Overall, Best Western Grand Hotel Francais remains my top choice for accommodation in Bordeaux due to its prime location, cleanliness, and excellent service. Despite the small room size and higher costs, the positive aspects make it a worthwhile stay.
