Hotel Royal Saint-Jean Amarys - Bordeaux

8.9

It was perfect for us because we came to Bordeaux by train. It's not a terrific area for taking in the sights, but the new tram took us from the train station into the Golden Triangle in minutes. Staff was very helpful. I'd recommend it and definitely stay there again.

Very helpfull and curtious on arrival, attended to car parking efficientaly, reception staff also spoke English, which helped. Very handy for Old Town and Station.

The room was fine. It was a bit noisy, but it was more due to stupid neighbours than the room itself. I rated the welcoming rather poorly because I am always insulted when a French from France doesn't understand a native French Canadian. We are not aliens. The hotel parking is not well indicated and expensive given that free parking is available in streets all around the hotel. The breakfast at the hotel is very expensive. You can eat somewhere nearby for 3-4 times less. The hotel is close to highways, which is nice if you want to drive around. Unfortunately, a lot of major road constructions were in progress at the time we visited and delays had to be expected. It is worth mentioning that "downtown" Bordeaux is at about 20 min walk. But you can always take the metro, the Gare St-Jean is just at the corner. A free Internet access would have been great, just like in many American hotels. It's a service that is pretty cheap to provide, in my opinion.

It was heaven to come to the hotel - and the air-conditioned room after + 38 on this day in Bordeaux. This hotel is exellent value for money in every way ! Very welcoming, englishspeaking staff. Good breakfast.

8.6

very nice rooms for the price. The area is a little seedy but been across the road from the main train station and on a tram stop is worth it.

8.6

The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The only problem: The offered price is valuable just for on-line-bookings. For a longer stay booked at the hotel you have to pay nearly double as much.

8.9

Good food, excellent rooms, very convenient location & friendly & helpful staff.

7.0

Cheap, clean and small. It was not easy to get there considering some of the one-way only streets around there. It has its own garage but no place to park in front of the door, the best trick is to park near a gate immediately after the hotel go in for the ck in and be surprised that the gate is the actual garage door for where you can park your car. Good location to use as a base for visiting the town, near the train station, taxis, and tram.

I was very suprised to find the hotel so close to the street full of sex shops and peep shows and there was constant noise from the railway station which is diredctly opposite

7.2

The hotel location is not as good as I wanted. The breakfast is expensive for the type of hotel. Not a bad option for one night. Very clean and helpful employees

8.2

The receptionist was extremely friendly and competent, spoke German. The area is in progress of reconstruction with some parts beautifully restored (e.g., the train station) and others still being very shady.

7.0

The rooms were ok, the breakfast was middle-class - compared to the price.

7.9

The area around the hotel, while not dangerous, is unsuitable for families and women traveling alone.

6.1

An acceptable hotel for an overnight stop. Its principal attraction is its location next to Bordeaux St Jean station. Directions were not clear, and the name is confusing - it appears to be known locally as Hotel Royale (not Amarys or StJean). Staff were welcoming and reasonably efficient. Rooms are rather cramped, though well soundproofed bearing in mind the location. Air conditioning was very efficient (and welcome) Breakfast was poor for the price, limited choice and I do not expect to be offered stale bread in a French hotel!

6.2

Clean but cramped quarters - classed as superior room, but had limited storage space; cramped washroom facilities. Surprisingly quiet despite downtown location near station with some questionable activities.

5.9

Rooms are too small for a three star facility, it was also futher away of the city center then we taught.
