Ars-en-Re Vacations from $991

Great position for the tourists

We were given a room across the road from the main hotel, a sort of family room with extra beds in a mezzanine, even though there was just the two of us, but this turned out to be nice - spacious, quiet and no extra cost. Considering the location, right by the ritzy shopping area, this hotel is amazingly good value. There are nice places for breakfast just nearby as well as shopping and the cathedral and generally all this wonderful city has to offer. So, we had a good stay.

This is a very nice hotel. The staff is wonderful. The rooms are nice and roomy for Europe. The restaurant is also very good. The hotel is a five minute walk to the old town, so if you want to stay in the old town, be aware of that. That said, if you don’t mind walking 5 minutes, this hotel is perfect.

Large hotel well located in the city centre. Nice room, but some street noise on Friday and Saturday nights, better on Sunday and Monday nights. It is near the hub for the trams and I recommend downloading the TBM ticketing app. It makes travel to attractions such as La Cite du Vin by tram much easier. Front of house staff welcoming and helpful and housekeeping very good. They kept our room well serviced, even closing our curtains. We met the maids and it was obvious how keen they were to please and do anything for us to make our stay enjoyable. What a contrast then, the hotel restaurant (the one on the ground floor). We ate there twice. Dreadful service: You get taken to your (reserved) table and left there with no menus or attention. You ask for things (in French) like water, desserts, the bill and they never come. We saw other tables sending food back. What service there is is slow, and for long periods serving staff just disappear completely. The restaurant really lets the rest of the hotel down.

Beautiful Hotel, with the most helpful staff with excellent English. Delicious breakfast and also does an evening meal on the pretty terrace, perfect if you have travelled far and don’t want to venture too far, although they provided great recommendations nearby for our other nights. Our room in the tower was amazing, huge comfortable bed. If traveling to Bordeaux and want a superb place to stay Yndo is highly recommended
