Huge private top floor room with a view

We stayed in 401 which is a very large private room. We lived everything about the room and the stay. The hostel is perfectly located for walking to all the old town sites. We’ll stay again.

We had a great stay in a family room. When we closed the window it was completely quiet with no noise getting in from the square. Staff were very helpful. The breakfast option was excellent. The location was perfect for walking about the beautiful city. Highly recommend.

Auberge de jeunesse très bien placé par rapport au centre ville et les lignes de tram. Malheureusement un peu décu par l'accueil, qui aurait du être plus cordial, et l'état des services: savons vides dans les toilettes, portes des lockers cassées, lockers non utilisables, cadenas indisponibles, ... .

Bel hostel au cemtre de Bordeaux

Bien situé, couchette bien équipé avec rideau black-out, prises et lampe. Par contre, couloir étroit entre les deux rangées de lit, ce qui bloque la circulation dans la chambre.

Cute, clean, centrally located hostel!

Amazing hostel! Cute, clean and perfectly located on StCatherine street (longest pedestrian only street!! Lots of shopping!). All the facilities were in great condition and updated. As a solo traveler it could have been a little bit more socially oriented, but that is being super picky! Would recommend!

Das Personal war freundlich und auch sehr zuvorkommend, sie haben einem alles erklärt. Die angeschlossene Bar und Restaurant war gut besucht und auch eine gute Auswahl an Essen/Getränken. Das Gemeinschaftsbad war groß und die Duschkabinen, eigentlich Duschräume waren sehr groß sogar mit extra Spiegel und Schrank ausgestattet, davor gab es nochmal einen kleinen Raum mit Waschbecken. Tolle Unterkunft! (:

Location location location! I loved my stay at the Central Hostel. The staff were super nice and helpful and the location is truly central and very walkable. I stayed in a 8 bed mixed dorm for the first time and the blackout blinds were a gamechanger for me. Other than a microwave there's no kitchen but there're an Aldi and Carrefour nearby which is super helpful. The washrooms and the showers weren't the cleanest and it didn't feel like they were being cleaned daily but it's a hostel after all. If I'd ever go back to Bordeaux, I'll definitely stay here but would book a female dorm instead. Merciii :>

Agreable sejour sur Bordeaux

L'emplacement est top. J'ai mis 10 minutes env en trottinette depuis la gare. L'hotel est en plein centre et pas loin des quais pour les visites, ballades etc. L'hotel possède un super accueil avec bar et tables pour se poser et prendre un verre tranquillement. L'accueil est réalisé par une équipe jeune et dynamique et j'ai été agréablement surpris par la bienveillance de l'équipe . Malgré le fait d'être en dortoir, j'ai trouvé la chambre hyper calme (j'ai eu la chance d'avoir des convives respectueux), et tout était d'une super propreté. En gros je recommande vivement cet établissement. Le séjour était parfait.

Unfortunately, the hostel does not have control of its surroundings. At the time of my stay, there were some unhoused people with dogs. And at night they would bark. ( the dogs not the people ) But in no insistence did I feel unsafe. The area is very centrical and walking distance to most attraction. Highly recommend.

La habitación estaba bien pero no había aire acondicionado y encima la ventana no se podía abrir del todo. No pudimos dormir por el calor que hacía en la habitación.
