Disliked: Cleanliness

This hotel is trying to be a boutique hotel and it could be great but a lot of things are lacking. For example, there is a limited amount (120 litres per day) of hot water, there is a lack of good quality toileteries, no slippers in the room, a faulty safe and a poor level of cleanliness. There are also thin walls and you can hear everything from the next room. However, the hotel is in a good location within easy walking distance of the old town. I wouldn't rush to rebook.

One night in Bordeaux, was not enough!
The host was friendly and helpful. Very accommodating in his home. The rooms were pleasant, clean and comfortable. We only stayed for one night but could've stayed longer! The hotel was well located close to the 'downtown' area of Bordeaux.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Room comfort
The traffic noise was so bad we could not sleep. The owner had ear plugs (I assume other people had complained) even using them we could not have a good nights sleep. The bed was very hard and the bathroom below average for a Deluxe room which is what we booked. This is not a hotel but a Chambres D' Hotes, lovely building but we would certainly not book the L'Arene again.

Great home with a wonderful host
Jean-Marie the owner is a very nice person with many contacts in the area for food and service. He keeps his home in perfect condition and it is located very near the historical areas of Bordeaux. The parking is a bit too far from the house but it is expected if you want to stay in historical parts of old town. Walking distance to everything Bordeaux has to offer.

We went to the place and looked at the room and promptly left. Because this was prepaid I was unable to get any refund. If you want to book this. I would recommend reserving it and only pay after you stay.

We arrived soaking wet after running through a downpour in the dark after a wine tour to Ste Emilion. The proprietor was so very kind to us. We needed parking and he assisted with excellent directions to the parking garage to retrieve our car and then offered his personal parking spot. Room was lovely and bathroom had both tub and separate shower. Breakfast was very good and we were given directions to a local market that we thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately We didn't recall the proprietor's name. Many thanks for the kind service at your lovely B and B.

We stayed for four nights in September 2016. Great hotel, stylish and interesting. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. A short walk from Bordeaux main sites. Lovely sitting room with very stylish and quirky touches. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely hotel with excellent location.
We very much enjoyed our stay here (9 days.) There was always something new to do each day and the hotel was a peaceful gem hidden in a fantastic location. Our room had a georgeous room and was kept in good condition. Very comfy bed, kettle and a good selection of complementary tea and coffee and the breakfast is great. There are lots of things worth doing within Bordeaux but we also found a nearby beach in a town called aracachon which was not at all busy and had beautiful golden sands. The old town had wonderful architecture to look at. The breakfast offers a fine selection of local cheeses ham fresh fruit and bread and cereals and yoghurts. However we found that there is also a must try (and cheap) patisserie/ boulangerie called perrin very close which does footlong baguettes for 3 euros and amazing macaroons and eclaires for 90 cents -1euro 50.

Lovely old building with modern trendy decor
Lovely place to stay in Bordeaux! Beautiful old building, with trendy modern decor. Bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was very nice. They do offer offsite parking if you book in advance; the owner will lead you to a parking garage nearby where you can park your car securely, for a decent rate (I think it was 15-20 Euros per night). Definitely recommend!

UFB (unidentifiable flying bugs)
The place was not hotel but b&b. Generally this place was not managed well. The cups were so dirty and the electric water pot was vomiting dirty with full of white sediment inside. There were four to five flying bugs in the room. The eletric bug repellent was empty. Better to stay in a quality place for this price.
