The Originals Access, Hôtel Bordeaux Lac

Bed not comfortable

We were given the wheelchair access room. Bathroom was clean and large it was a modular bathroom arrangement like you were expecting in a cruise ship. It made efficient use of space. Comfortable and quiet. No complaints. 20 minutes drive by car to historic downtown Bordeaux even through rush hour.

Near motorway which means only 15 minutes from taxi from airport. Back of hotel is superb with wonderful views of the lake. Very quiet. Breakfast very nice and more than adequate, better than we expected at a small budget hotel. For evening meals there is an absolutely fabulous restaurant next door. Staff have limited English but still understand your needs.

The red lights when we arrived at night didn't give the best impression to start with. The room was clean and welcoming, but the bathroom was very small and my main complain point: All plastic and no curtain, it felt like the bathroom of an autocaravan and looked worn out, with marks that looked dirty but could be of rust or paint falling off. The lack of curtain ment that the toilet and floor would get wet whenever we showered. Not ideal. There were no pictures of the bathroom before reserving, so it was a bit of a shocker. Knowing this beforehand I might have considered paying a bit more to get a better bathroom. Perfect location for a walk around Le Lac
