Hôtel Le Saint-James

Wonderful property. Very pleasant setting. Only 20 minutes from there center of Bordeaux. HOWEVER, do NOT try to drive to Bordeaux from this hotel. It took me more than one hour because of the horrible traffic, the oneway streets, the street closures, etc.. even with Gps.Likewise for returning to the hotel from the city center

je suis arrivé 1 heure avant l'heure de réception conseillé. Le mobilier des chambres étant très usagé (un peu colonie de vacance) . Je n'ai pas voulu rester car pas au standing annoncé. Ils n'ont pas voulu me rembourser !!! car arrivé trop tard... c'est ridicule ou à court d'argent ?? je suis resté 20 minutes sans rien toucher ... pour 400€ ps : hotels.com n'a pu rien faire Dommage j'avais un autre souvenir de l'établissement.

Really disappointing and ordinary. Poor service. The pool was nice - but no towels. The view was nice but the food was very disappointing.

Very overpriced restaurant, no elevator to acess room, only 2 flights of steep stairs, no electrical outlet by the bed, complicated wifi access, noise from the morning traffic audible from the room.

Excellent cadre de paix ! Magnifique

3 araignées dans l'entrée de la chambre, du bruit toute la nuit (dommage même si l'hôtel n'y était pour rien : impossible de changer de chambre et pas de boules quies disponibles). Sauna ne fonctionnait pas bien : impossible de couper l'eau froide et ensuite eau bouillante. Partie hôtel : moyen mais partie restaurant à refaire sans hésitation. Nous avons eu de la cuisine de saison, raffinée, alliance les vins parfaite et réception parfaite. Vue magnifique. Dommage vraiment que l'hôtel (4 étoiles à priori) ne soit pas avec la même qualité de prestation.

- Accueil très plaisant à l'arrivée - Déjeuner et petit déjeuner parfaits - Vue somptueuse sur Bordeaux - expérience à renouveler encore et encore !

Very unique, beautiful hotel on a special location that facing Bordeaux Center, and you can lying on bed or poolside or restaurant for beautiful sunset. No elevators on site, but they have staffs to carry luggage for you. There is a nice restaurant on site. The staff called and checked on us around 9pm, but then after 11pm, the front desk called and said one of the customers reported that our car front light was on, but the problem was they parked our car and they had our key and they asked us to go down to grab the key and walk down a very dark driveway to their parking area to check our car, that was a bit ruined our night.

Très bon service et cadre magnifique

The staff was great and the grounds are spectacular, with an amazing view of Bordeaux, but the hotel was disappointing- I booked this hotel because of their restaurant just to discover, with no prior information, that it closes Sunday and Monday, the 2 days we were there. They said they send me a notice, but I never received it, maybe because I booked through another party. The hotel is tired and old, and the rooms are not very clean, I have pictures of dirty bathroom doors, stained floors, etc... It was hard for me to climb onto the bed, it was so high, granted I’m only 5’2” feet. Hard mattresses, the room has an uncomfortable layout, with nowhere to sit near the bed and dark sitting area. I suppose it was a ground-breaking architectural project in its day, by Jean Nouvel, but quite frankly, it is uncomfortable, and the rusted iron outside is an eyesore, in contrast to the beautiful old farm house. I guess it was my fault for booking it, but I didn’t realize that it was so far from anything. There is absolutely nothing to do near the hotel, except some walks on some beautiful trails if you like exercise. They have a restaurant affiliated to the hotel a couple of minute’s walk, with bad service and even worse food, for the price. We did find a little gem of a restaurant a couple kms walk from the hotel, if you don’t mind the hike, with much better food at half the price in Latresne…you know where the French eat. Won't go back.
