Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, central location secure car parking Disadvantages: Not far from fire station and police HQ, the sirens!
...Anyone who has stayed in a IBIS will know they use the same format throughout, this IBIS is no exception. The car park is around the back and underground, I have been there many times and never found it to be full.
Outside and to the left is the newly opened electric tram system serving the whole of the city.
The reception are is a bit dated, but arguably so are all hotels in France. The reception staff speak numerous languages and seemed happy to converse in English. Check in was fast and efficent.
The hotel is over about 11 floors and all floors are served by one of three lifts so waiting times are kept to a minimum. Each floor is based around a square doughnut, the quiet rooms with no view are on the inside, the view and the sirens are on the outside. Last year they fitted triple glazing and unless your a very light...

Advantages: culture and wine Disadvantages: some places are dirty
...At the gates of the greatest vintages of the world, at some
miles of the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux put a point of honor to
develop its exceptional architectural and cultural heritage. Such
point that it was indicated " Town of Art " by the ministry for the
Culture in 1978. This reward, perfectly justified, makes it possible
to guess the extent of the monuments, museums, rooms of art or places
which make the pride of the capital of Aquitaine. During my many
voyages, I was brought to discover in-depth this city, and eager to
share my knowledge with the ciao users, I propose one to you strolls "
virtual " of Bordeaux. In a slapping of finger, I send to you on the
great place of the Quincunxes which dominates the quays of Bordeaux.
Such your guide, I open the gates of Bordeaux to you (I yes hope for
that I did not forget...

Advantages: Beautiful, lots going on, many shops Disadvantages: Lots of graffiti
...I vistied Bordeuax in the summer for the Bristol-Bordeaux exchange. This consisted of me going to Bordeaux for two weeks trying to improve my French. It worked!
there is a lot of great features in Bordeaux. the airoport was the first thing i saw. It was very clean and ran on time.
I then was on the road where you see all the vine yards and big houses. the only bad thing was the amount of grafiti. this was probably becasue i was driving through a bad suburb.
The shops in Bordeaux are very good with a huge selection of shops. The main shopping street is about 1km long (well so i was told.) they had all the good English shops which were a little cheaper. Those of you who know how much Quicksilver costs will be suprised that you could buy shirts for 5euro about 3-4 pounds. Then they had my favourite shop which i think should...
