JOST Hôtel Bordeaux Centre Gare Saint Jean

Unique concept - record player in room was fun. Great views if you enjoy train spotting !nice atmosphere and staff worked very hard to be positive and make you feel welcome.rooftop area was great - views and peaceful except for the pool party- lots happening.

Nicely designed, new and clean

I slept in a dorm for a very low price but it felt more like a luxurious hotel! Nice sheets and pillows, lots of privacy in the cabins, a shelf with electric sockets, even a bedlamp with soft light (like everything has been thought of). The room had amazing windows from floor to ceiling, the bathroom was huge (even rain shower and normal shower), the toilet was separate from it (which is great). Rooftop terrace with swimming pool was amazing (I considered facilities like this out of my price range so I felt very lucky). You are not pressured to keep ordering there at all, you just walk up to the bar if you want something. The view was amazing, friendly staff. So basically positive about everything.

This hotel is only about 10 minutes walk from.the station. The check in was easy , via tablets, but very friendly staff on hand to help with any problems. Rooms are compact and bijou - made less boxy with a clever use of mirrors and shelving adorned with books, CDs and great pieces of contemporary art. Lovely shower with powerful water supply. The view of the train lines not great but to be expected by location. On each floor there's a kitchen pod - fresh filtered water, choice of cordials, tea , coffee and jars if sweets, nuts and oretzeks - nice touch . Also has a cupboard with iron and ironing board. There's a restaurant , where I didn't eat an evening meal but had a great buffet breakfast. This is done in the same style as the rooms but with addition of stylish added plants. The piéce de resistance is the rooftop pool ! Not huge but big enough for a nice swim with great views of the city around you. There's a bar there too but only open on certain days. Opposite the hotel is a market food hall that was buzzing with activity - great choice of beers and drinks. Everyone that served me there, and back in the hotel, were so friendly and helpful . There's a lovely feeling about the whole area and will definitely return. Great value for money.

Really nice family room, with funky bunk beds for the kids. Comfortable double bed. Nice decor. Clean. Great corner room with big windows. Great to have the toilet separated from the shower. Loved the rooftop swimming pool and really enjoyed dinner and DJ on the rooftop restaurant bar on Saturday night.
