The first room smelt badly of smoke despite the no smoking policy, however, the receptionist changed our room quickly. She was also very helpful in fetching us hot water for coffee. The second room had a cigarette burn on the duvet cover and several burns on the floor. There were 4 fire alarms before 2am, there did not appear to be any staff as the receptionist had left for the night, we were not given any information and had to ask strangers what was happening. The fire brigade and police attended but there was still little information unless we asked and then were told its safe to return. We returned to our rooms and evacuated four times, after we settled down to sleep at midnight, the police knocked the door and asked how many people were occupying the room, they went away and we settled again. Around 2am we were woken by a knock again and told we had to leave the hotel for our own safety and that we would be accommodated at other hotel free. We left our room and were given new hotel information by a member of staff that we hadn't seen before, still no reason for our evacuation. We would not stay here again.

Hi,We apologize for the inconvenience caused.A malicious person triggered the alarm and broke the box. Impossible to repare it in the middle of the night. For your safety as well as all guests, the hotel was evacuated and then closed until Sunday.It is beyond our control.Best regards,

Terrible smell of drains. We stayed at this hotel in 2022 and it smelt of drains. In 2023 it still smelt of drains. The staff had all the doors open and it smelt really bad everywhere. Fire safety is BAD. ONE escape stairway made of wood. No external fire stairway. This hotel is a fire trap. External polystyrene cladding being fitted on the outside walls with NO fire protection. A SERIOUS fire hazard like UK Grenville Tower. Do not stay here.

Cheap but you get what you pay for…
This hotel is cheap but is run down and the hotel, hotel room and surrounding area are all very depressing. Practically no wifi in my room, probably because it was one of the furthest from the lobby.

Arrived at midnight couldn’t even get access to the car park or hotel as we had no code. No one could assist as there was no management at the hotel & neither could hotels.com. Only got in via another guest who knew the codes which allowed us to get a room this took over an hour after 15hr drive!!!

One night stop off
Overnight stay for flight next day we did not factor in the taxi journey so we could have stayed closure in a more expensive hotel as the taxi journey was expensive to airport. Staff friendly and very accommodating and booked taxi for us . Room itself was basic but clean good hot shower and wide range of food for breakfast. No where really to grab a meal in an evening especially if weather bad as it was for us.

Hotel close to motorway link in a quiet location
Cheap and cheerful hotel, good for over night stay, very close to motorway junction but in a very quiet location, room small and shower even smaller but you get what you pay for, bed comfortable so slept well, probably wouldnt stay again as shower room too small prefer more space.

This Premiere Classe must have the smallest rooms ever. I know the chain is 'cheap and cheerful' and I have stopped in many of them and have been satisfied, but thank goodness I am not half a stone heavier or I would never have been able to use the shower.

Get code for car park
Easy to get to just off motorway. But had emergency at 3am and coming not get out of the gate as it was locked and phoned hotel but only spoke French, phone company booked but they didn't know , lucky someone was awake to and knew code . So make sure you get the code just in case you have a emergency

Almost homeless even with a reservation
This hotel is terrible. I advised them of my late arrival since they close at 9PM, I travel from Paris, there is no way I can be there by 9PM. On arrival, I tried to use the automatic machine located in the hotel, only to find out, my reservation can not be found. Shocking! I almost became homeless instantly. Luckily a young man entered the hotel, and I asked him to call the number indicated on the machine. Quickly enough, a caretaker came to counter, but told me I have NO reservation, and the hotel is full. I showed him my hotels.com reservation both on paper, and in my computer. He still said my name is not on the list. Thankfully I looked at that list, my name is on there, I wonder why he kept saying I don't have a reservation? The hotel did reply to my e-mail quickly, but did not say clearly about the access code. Anyway, otherwise everything else is fine.

Not what I expected but we got through it
The hotel appeared like more of lodge or shall I say a students' campus. The room was very small and the windows were very very small as well. This made the room quite dark and unable to be aired out quickly, and unable to let some sunlight in. The bathroom was very very small and could hardly contain a normal size person. There was a small toilet and a tiny shower just beside it which caused water the splash all over when taking a shower. The day staff were quite nice but we came in late one night (this was just after 9pm), and our door could not be opened. The reception was closed and there was no one to be seen. Apparently the watchman on duty gets to handle the night shift and he was out somewhere. After 10 mins of waiting; and several attempts to reopen our door with the help of other lodgers, he reappeared to retrieve and hand me my new code for the door without so much of an apology. The 'hotel' is out of town in what seems to be more of industrial estate, 15 mins away from the airport, but if you are a city person I suggest book a hotel in the city, as taxi fares from there to the centre are atrocious. We had to pay 60 euros from the centre to the hotel. Also breakfast charges are not included in the cost of accommodation. In the end I got what I paid for, so now I do know better.

Good location for overnight stop
As a place to lay your head on the way to or from somewhere, this hotel is ideal. The rooms are small but clean. Easy access from the Autoroute, and although the immediate area is an industrial zone, there's no noise or inconvenience. I thoroughly recommend the Courtepaille restaurant about 5 minutes away by car – it's in the same zone but somehow like being in the country. If you have a pet and need the pet passport treatment there's a vet within very easy reach (Les Eglantines in Route de Pessac).

Small room but very clean and modern-ish. Staff were very friendly. Tight quarters but well worth the price. Stayed 2 nights. No complaints.

It's called a motel not a hotel
This was dubbed as a nice, inexpensive hotel in Bordeaux. On the map of Bordeaux this actually looks vaguely true, however don't be deceived it is in fact in the outskirts of Pessac, the southernmost, industrial suburb of Bordeaux. At least a 40 minute journey from Bordeaux and if you're without a car, public transport only connects to there till 9pm. Completely unsuitable for anyone who isn't working in the area or absolutely desperate. On top of this the room was ridiculously hot, the air conditioner didn't work and the staff were barely seen. Crummy. The photos are very different from the reality.

Inexpensive hotel near Bordeaux
The Premiére Classe hotels are a chain of inexpensive hotels. The room we had was small and had a self contained bathroom unit in it with a toilet, sink and shower. It seemed like something that would be found in a ship. Other than the room being small, everything was fine. Good water pressure. The wifi was a bit slow.

THIS HOTEL IS NOT FOR ME
We booked two rooms for an overnight. It was unfortunate but the air conditioning was not working so left windows open with the result we had mosquito's in the room all night. The rooms were small and the Bathroom really small. Price was very good so on balance it is good value but just not for me again. Irish Traveller

I can see why some people stay here- Not for me
Arrived on a late flight in Bordeaux and did not want to go too far. The Hotel was easy to find - check in Self Service Machine worked well. Rooms very small - Bathroom really small - We were unlucky the Air Conditioning was not working and we were bitten alive by Mosquito's. If you are looking for cheap and cheerful this is it, But next time I would pay a bit more. Mal

I stayed 1 night on the journey to Spain and the staff were delightful. The room was extremely clean and comfortable with a great shower and plenty of hot water. The room was small but perfect for what I required. For the price this is a great hotel for a short stop over.

budget holiday!
We stayed for 6 nights and had no problems at all with the hotel. Friendly receptionist when we arrived, who spoke english as well which was a bonus. The room was clean, and they were quick to sort any problems quickly (the body wash dispenser in the shower wasn't working) the area, was quiet and overall we had a good stay.

Cheap & small, BUT, well located and SUPER CLEAN
It's a cheap hotel by the highway, for sure, BUT a very nice, super clean (room, toilet/shower, towels bed linen) small breakfast buffet at 6,5€ pp, for that price you cant ask more. Rooms are small, like sleep in your motorhome/trailer, we expend like 7 hours there travelling from Madrid to Paris... nothing wrong.
