Hôtel de Normandie

The Normandie hits all the right notes. It overlooks Bordeaux's streetcar hub and the Girond Estuary, is adjacent to the jardin public and the head of Rue Sainte Catherine, and is equidistant to the funky dining neighborhoods of The Chartrons and Saint-Pierre. The Bar a Vins, sponsored by the Bordeaux wind industry, is next door. Can't be beat.

The hotel staff is very friendly and the property is very clean and well kempt. The breakfast is good and with enough variety to choose. The location is close to the Opera House and Quinconces Park, there is good tram connections or you can walk to most attractions

Very well located to explore the city walking and for taking the train. The breakfast was very disappointing.

Amazing wine bar next door. Beautiful area. Super convenient.

The staff were extremely helpful and courteous, and the hotel was conveniently located in the central part of town. The restaurant recommendations from the staff were spot on.

Good

Staff is excellent. The single comfort rooms were perfect for friends travelling together but wanting separate rooms. The location was perfect. It’s right by the Grand Theatre and also across from the tram stops. Highly recommend Hotel Normandie!

Location is perfect and the room was nice, if a little small.

The Hotel de Normandie is in the best possible spot in Bordeaux. It is a block away from the best shopping streets and a couple of blocks away from five excellent restaurants. We had a nice room with a balcony where we could enjoy the balmy nights and sunny mornings on the sixth floor. There was a separate toilet which we appreciated but the shower was over the bath which can be slippery and I needed to be careful. Breakfast was good with a range of pastries and cheese. Eggs were cooked to order. The view from the balcony was of the trees around the tram hub and on to the river Garonne, with the spectacular fountain commemorating the Girondins to the left. You can catch a tram just across the street from the hotel to anywhere in the city , tickets are €1.50 for an hour and it’s a lovely way to get around when you tire of walking. Bordeaux has beautiful stone buildings, churches and museums. We stayed 9 nights and there was plenty to enjoy. We recommend Brasserie 1925 opposite the Girondin fountain and Bistro Big off the main shopping street as excellent both for food and charm.

Great central place
