The Hôtel Majestic is small in what it offers and large in what it is near. It stands at 2 Rue de Condé, in the middle of central Bordeaux, between the Grand Théâtre and the Place des Quinconces, and the walking times are remarkable: two minutes to the Rue Sainte-Catherine and to the Grand Théâtre, three minutes to the Place de la Bourse and the Place des Quinconces, and eight to the Place Saint-Pierre. The Quinconces tram stop is two minutes away. Guests rate it 9.8 out of 10 from more than four hundred reviews, and they praise the location, the staff and the cleanliness. Rooms come in seven types, from Standard, Superior and Deluxe doubles to a two-bedroom Family Room, a Superior Triple, a Junior Suite and a Suite. They have private bathrooms with showers, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, wardrobes and electric kettles, and the hotel has free WiFi, air conditioning, heating, an elevator and a 24-hour front desk. A buffet breakfast is available for a fee. It is pet friendly and Green Key certified. For wine-minded visitors, the Bar à Vin du CIVB and the Maison du Vin de Bordeaux are close by.
Location and getting around
Nearly everything in the historic centre is within ten minutes’ walk. The Grand Théâtre and the Rue Sainte-Catherine are two minutes away, the river is a short stroll, and the tram network is on the doorstep. The airport is about twenty-eight minutes by car, and Bordeaux-Benauge station five minutes by car. Nearby restaurants include casual places and a wine bar within a few minutes’ walk, which makes planning dinners simple.
Rooms and facilities
There is no on-site restaurant, gym, pool or parking, so this is a hotel for sleeping and starting the day, not for spending it. The extras are practical: free newspapers, luggage storage, bicycle parking, a water dispenser and laundry and dry-cleaning services. Check-in is from 3:00 in the afternoon, with late check-in available during limited hours, and check-out is at 11:00. Some rates offer free cancellation.
Who it suits
Couples and independent travellers who want the best location in the city and care about service, plus small families who take the two-bedroom Family Room.
Good to know
Because there is no parking, drivers should arrange a garage in advance. Breakfast is optional, and the area has plenty of cafés and bakeries. The central location means some street noise at weekends, so ask for a quieter room on a higher floor. For a high score, a great address and personal service at a reasonable price, it is one of the strongest central choices in Bordeaux.
Service is the thread that runs through the reviews of this hotel, and the scores reflect it. With no restaurant or gym to run, the team is free to concentrate on rooms, breakfast and local advice, which suits guests who like personal advice on where to eat and which wines to try. If you are planning a stay around the Maison du Vin and the wine bars nearby, you could hardly be better placed, and the quick walk to the Quinconces tram stop adds flexibility for day trips.
