Place rating: 5 Saint Seurin - Fondaudège, Bordeaux
Nous avons été ravis de cet hôtel familial à la décoration noir et rouge. Notre chambre était spacieuse avec tout l’équipement nécessaire. Côté salle de bain c’est assez optimisé mais fonctionnel. La double porte et fenêtre isolent parfaitement du bruit d’un hôtel. Le wifi est également disponible gratuitement. Pas de restaurant mais des réductions dans celui en bas de la rue pour compenser. Consigne pour les bagages et distributeur dans l’hôtel. Dans compter la situation géographique idéale puisqu’en plein centre ville et 5 minutes à pieds de la gare centrale.

To my mind, the people that have reviewed this hotel are fixated on its proximity to the center of the city and nothing else. The reviews on this place run the full gamut and while«location, location, location» is the theme relative to buying real estate I expect more when booking a hotel but location is all I received at the Finn. Momma said«always try to say something nice,» so here goes: The staff was friendly and the Internet superfast. Now that I have heeded Momma’s admonition let me give you the real skinny: If you can get this hotel for seventy-five U.S. Dollars or less and all of the hotels appear overpriced, and you are a dude travelling alone book it, otherwise avoid this place like the bubonic plague. The entryway is dirty and you should use extreme caution when exiting using this door because you can hurt your fingers very easily. At night all of the smokers from the adjacent bar congregate outside to puff away so when you leave hold your breath. It only gets worse. I got a single room and the bed was as small as a bed gets. The bedding fit the exact size of the small bed, which is ludicrous. Bring the toiletries you stashed away from the better hotels you have frequented because the mini mouthwash sized bottles of body wash did not cut it. The towels were old, ugly worn and cheap. The shower was ridiculous. They merely installed a pipe that wrapped around the interior of the wall, put a drain in the floor and presto a shower was made. The shower is so close to the toilet that when at rest the curtain touched the toilet. I would definitely treat this shower as a locker room shower and wear shower shoes. The closet was old, the furniture was old and the couch was ugly and old. There is a flat screen television made by LG that some idiot mounted right next to the window. The window curtains covered ten percent of the television screen notwithstanding the fact that there was plenty of baron wall space. There were not enough wall outlets so there was an extension cord on the floor if you needed to plug in the table lamp. Finally, there was no ice machine, vending or snack machines, I heard dogs barking occasionally, and you will never find thinner walls anywhere. Ladies, if you husband or boyfriend is on a budget and suggests this hotel skip a couple of happy hours so you can put away a little extra coin and find another place to stay. I have no idea what some of these other reviewers saw but take it from the Chocoolate one: don’t stay here!

Hotel Finn is located on the 5th and 6th floor of a building that is centrally located. We stayed in a room that had it’s own bathroom. It didn’t have a closet, an iron, or a hair dryer, but you could borrow an iron through the front desk. There was a section of the room with something to hang stuff(about 3 items) over a rack. The room was large and clean and there was minimal decorating(there was a futon in the room in addition to the beds). There was however, a rather large flat screen tv mounted on the wall and the hallways were very modernly decorated. There is also no swimming pool. There is not a place to eat in the hotel, but there are many places close by, either across the street in any of the cafes, or you can grab a quick bite from Stockman’s. The train and bus terminals are close as well as many tourist spots. The staff is incredibly friendly. If you are staying for fun, get a Helsinki card for an even better value for your vacation. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a good value, and who does not care about room decorations much.
