Lobby is large and also with a working area. Behind check in counter is the bar for beer and soft drinks. Check in time is 1500 come early has to stay in lobby area. Only down side is room doesn’t have air conditioning and you have to open the window. Overall is clean and well maintained, already came back to second time.
It is a bit far away from the train station, but easy to get there using a city bike (1 €). Excellent clean rooms and facilities, lots of safe storage available for your stuff. There are even curtaibs for your privacy on the bed.
The staff were genuinely friendly, and the bed was very comfortable—complete with a privacy curtain that made it feel cosy and private. I appreciated the spacious storage setup: two lockers and a drawer provided plenty of room for my belongings.
Despite being in a bunk bed, I didn’t notice any squeaking or movement when someone used the top bunk, which made for a restful experience. The blackout shutter on the window blocked out light completely, and the road outside was quiet at night—perfect for uninterrupted sleep.
The only thing I’d suggest is adding one more bathroom and shower room, especially for busier periods.
Location-wise, it’s not too far from Bordeaux city centre. I actually enjoyed the 40-minute walk into town—it was a pleasant way to start the day.
Location is very good. 1 minute to wine musuem and tramvay stop. Old town is 45 minutes away from the hostel on foot. Walking to old town is very nice.
Staff is very friendly. The dorm room there's bathrroom and curtain at bunk.
Would definitely stay there again.
Overall, the facilities were very good in this hostel: the bed was very comfortable and the shower great, in fact too hot (which you can't always say). I liked the idea of the curtain per bed as it offers good privacy. I liked the fact that there was a happy hour involving cocktails but only on Tuesdays and I arrived at the hostel at 21.45 pm but had to wait at the check in until the person in front of me had finished so that ended up being 22.00 when the happy hour was over so I couldn't get a cocktail or a coffee as the cafe closed at 22.00 so a little bit annoying.
The female staff member who gave me loads of helpful info the following morning was very good. She also allowed me to print a copy of my boarding pass at reception which was handy.
Poss improvements:
I was disappointed that a basic breakfast wasn't included in the room price (even a tea/coffee and croissant).
It would be nice to have free tea/coffee offered to tourists all day similar to other hostels as it's a nice extra.
When I checked in at reception, I had to wait about 15 minutes as there was one person in front of me but the conversation seemed to go on for longer than was needed. Then, when I got the card for the room, it worked in the lift but not in the door. One of the ladies in the room opened the door and all said that they all had the same problem when checking in. I had to go back down to reception. You probably need to point this out to the younger staff member (girl) who checked me in.
Overall, the property was great and the people were fantastic. I would skip the breakfast for eight euros. You’re paying three times more for basic for coffee and croissants
We had a really nice stay. The accommodation wss clean comfortable and safe.the price was excellent. We would definitely come here again.

Disliked: Staff & service
All events for promotion in the elevator was old, the area was loud at night with screaming people and cars and it was difficult to find a good place for dinner.
BTW the bed and stuff around the room was good
Clean rooms and bathrooms, workers friendly and helpful, easy to find from tram, near Cite du Vin and a nice food market, great lobby/lounge area with wifi, restaurant and a microwave (no fridge for guests tho).
