It was great, loved being served breakfast in the room. We were in our honeymoon, no mentioned from the hotel about it, even though we told them. WIFI a problem, did not function well inside the room.

This small establishment has the full French atmosphere that we were looking for. Our host, Michelle, was most helpful, giving great information about Bordeaux, how to get about & where to dine for a reasonable price.

The room was rather spacious and clean . The beds were not comfortable at all and neither the pillows Location was not too bad I would say about 10 minutes from the city center . The host was very plaisent with giving directions of the city and map . The view of the garden was rather pleasent , no noise Unfortunately they were broken handles on the doors . The shower doors was very small I could hardly get in . The toilet was very low tiny base to move In the bathroom. The light in the middle room was made of paper mash unheard the shower head kept falling every time I use I couldn’t even move around the shower freely . not enough shampoo or soap bars unless you asked. There was no one around for assistant unless you would leave a note or call the host . There was no one to clean your room daily so you are really stuck until you leave the promises. No television available in the room so I felt cold without having one. I do not recommend this Villa at all . A big advertisement for Villa Sequoia but big disappointment really .

Thank you for choosing our B&B. Since the beginning of covid-19 until now, we always strictly control the number of rooms, the number of people in our B&B to limit the possibility of virus, and we also try our best to avoid direct contact between people. But this does not mean that we lower the level of service. We do our best to present tourist information at check-in, breakfast is served in your room, we put it outside your door at your requested time. During this period we do not enter the guest room for cleaning, so we put more material for the duration of stay, but if you need anything more, contact us. You can leave us a message at the reception desk, send us a message or call us at any time. If some customers are looking for meetings or chatting, this may not be the right time or right place. It is better to choose the plein air.For the health of all at our B&B, thank you for your understanding.

We were welcomed in a friendly manner, and our hosts gave us a lot of information about Bordeaux. The room was spacious and clean, but the bathroom is tiny. The location is quite good, close to the tram station but further out from the town centre than we expected. It is very dark and quiet when you are walking home late at night. Breakfast was good, but a bit restrictive as it is only served between 8am and 9.30am, and guests are not encouraged to linger. A living room where all the guests could sit and chat would be nice.

Not as pictured and disappointed to stay there. Walls were very paper thin, footfalls and all conversations were carried into my room. I was not offered a tour and learned about a room in the garden still not sure what that was about. Staff could have been more welcoming and friendly. Need to take a bus to get around. No amenities, bring shampoo, they provide little. Two low budget for me.

We are sorry to know that you were disappointed, but still thank you for staying in our B&B. We wish you could enjoy our flowers filled garden which just outside your room window. If you have ever stepped in our garden as other clients, you could find the clients rest area with table and chairs, and a small wooden summer kitchen, on its door there is an instruction for using in english and in french. We always tried to give as much as possible tourist information to our clients, but when we began to introduce you Bordeaux and our B&B, you told us that you were tired, just wanted to go to room directly. When we proposed you a map for your reference, you told us that you had family member live in Bordeaux nearby our B&B so that you did not need any information. From our B&B, you could walk about 800 meters to "Place de Victoire" and 1000 meters to "Cathedrals Saint Andre". If you like to walk a little bit, our street Saint Genes has a lot of beautiful ancient buildings. Our small family B&B is located in a stone villa which build in 1867, It has ancient structure with stone, during your stay, all of our clients respected very well our quiet time from 22pm to 8am. We would like to say if anyone was disturbed by others, please let us know in time, we will try our best to help. Regarding Shampoo and soaps, we prepared for 2 persons in your room even you were just one person arriving and staying. And if any clients need more for using, you are welcome to ask us. Only one thing we need to emphasize is that for the security, you are not allowed to bring outside persons enter our B&B, if it is really necessary, we need visitors to make registration.

This property is unique as it is very French and not like staying in an average Hotel chain. Individual spacious rooms with beautiful gardens to relax in. Michel, our host was so helpful in giving us advice on where to go and what to see plus a couple of very useful tips. Lovely breakfast each day in the cellar which again was very different. Very happy with this place.

We had an amazing stay at the sequoia garden. Not only were the rooms clean, comfortable, and very spacious, the owners went above and beyond to make our entire stay in Bordeaux an amazing experience. The second we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly given a map and rundown of the hotspots around town. The breakfast was exceptional and in a unique ‘cave’. The location was perfect for us, close to several city bike hubs, a tram stop, and just 10 minute car ride from the main train station. We hope to stay there again and would definitely recommend.

A charming old-style B & B
This is a pleasant B & B in a quiet part of Bordeaux. The hostess speaks good English, her husband less good, but he is rather shy. The house is a beautiful, old-style place which we liked, but if you want all mod cons it's probably not for you. Breakfast is served in the splendid vaulted cellar, which may be difficult for the less mobile. My sister and I enjoyed our stay.

Notre séjour dans cet établissement a mal commencé .En effet , de l'extérieur, le bâtiment paraît froid de par ses fenêtres parées de vitres teintées . L'accueil est identique avec une demande directe d'un règlement par chèque ( cartes bancaires refusées 😡en paiement des taxes de sejour et parking ) alors qu'habituellement le paiement se fait avant départ . D'autre part, étant " normalement " un B&B, nous nous attendions à partager le petit-déjeuner dans une salle avec d'autres visiteurs. Au lieu de cela , nous avons dû remplir une fiche administrative à notre arrivée nous demandants nos choix alimentaires du petit-déjeuner qui a été servi sur un plateau des années 1960(comme la chambre du reste) dans notre chambre vieillotte . Les 2 choses positives : 1) calme très apprécié , 2) croissant et baguette fraîche très bons . Cordialement

Bonjour Madame et MonsieurMerci pour votre réservation à Villa Sequoia Garden.Nous sommes très surpris par votre commentaire parce que vous aviez l'air satisfaire à ce moment-là. La façade de notre hôtel particulier est exactement la même que sur la photo du site, des vitres sont là pour isoler.Avant d'arriver, vous nous avez envoyé plusieurs messages pour nous demander de confirmer par écrit que le petit déjeuner est gratuit pour vous et votre réservation est validée, et le parking est confirmé... Nous vous avons répondu chaque message avec détaillés : le prix et le lieu du parking, la manière de paiement... Vous avez répondu avec accord. Nous avons suivi exactement ces accords. Notre processus de check in est : enregistrer les informations clients, choisir le petit déjeuner avec ce que vous aimez sur la liste et régler les paiements s'il y a. Pour le petit-déjeuner, il est gratuit pour les clients venants de certains sites avec la formule standard, depuis l'épidémie de covid-19, nous avons commencé à le servir dans la chambre des clients pour éviter de transmettre des virus et protéger au maximum nos clients. Jusqu'à maintenant, nous écoutons les réponses positives pour profiter du petit-déjeuner en privé. Notre priorité est d'offrir à nos clients un environnement de repos confortable et hygiénique. Notre activité n'a pas le but de faire rencontrer les gens. Si les clients ont besoins d'informations et d'aides, nous sommes toujours là. Un conseil : pour rencontrer les gens, participer à certains groupes tours sera une bonne manière.

Omistajapari piti erittäin hyvää huolta meistä ja he auttoivat ja infosivat ihan kaikessa. Erittäin upea paikka ja siisti. Aamiainen oli upeassa kellaritilassa ja tarjoilut ja tunnelma ainutlaatuista. Fantastic Place and the owners were very helpfull and kind adnd helped us with Bordeaux maps and moving and where to go. We are surely going another time . All the athmosphere in their house was amazing and very relaxing. Breakfast was in a beautifull cellar and very nice.

Hyggelig opphold. Vi hadde rom inn mot en fin hage i bakgården, det var stille og rolig. Nokså sentralt dersom en klarer å gå en par kilometer. Da var en midt i sentrum. Hyggelig vertskap. Bordeaux og Villa Sequia Garden kan anbefales.

We zijn heel hartelijk onthaald door de eigenaars. We kregen veel goede tips qua bezienswaardigheden en qua restaurants. De villa is charmant en stil. De ligging is goed: op 5 minuten van een tramhalte die doorheen het centrum van de stad gaat. Ook te voet kan je gemakkelijk naar het centrum van de stad.

Thanks for you staying at B&B Villa Sequoia Garden. We registered as B&B on expedia. When you click in Villa Sequoia Garden, you could find the information “bed and breakfast” several times, for example, beside and also down of our location map…… That is also the reason of we offering free breakfast. We wish you could enjoy our flowers and trees filled garden, enjoy our breakfast’s rich. Enjoy our peaceful environment and our warmy service… Regarding to the wet, in Bordeaux, this season the humidity is around 65% with sunshine, 85% at night or cloudy, So we use machine dry the rooms every morning to 65%, and keep the room never moldy. The 2nd day of your check in, when we entered your room to make cleaning in the morning, your room was too smelly to allow us entering, we had to leave window and door open 30 mins and using fan to push the smell out, then changed all towels, using product to fresh air, then used machine to dry your room…… We repeated this work everyday for your room. Sorry but we have to say: before you and after you, we never suffered this smell in any of our rooms. Anyway, we suggest all of clients: when you entre your room the 1st day, if there any problem what you do not feel well, please talk to us directly, we are there to hear you and to help you. We wish all of clients have a pleasant staying with us. By the way, our current client find In this room safety box, there is a very thin card folder on the bottem, inside card name is not your registration name, nor your reservation name, but write your country language. We tried to call your reservation phone number, no one pick up and no message box, if it is yours, please contact us.
