Hotels near Darwin Ecosystem, Bordeaux

Everything—location, facilités and staff. Comfortable beds, lovely bathroom with a great shower. And the staff go out of your way to help, like getting me decaf pods and some milk for the Nespresso machine, and a blanket and sheet for the bed, instead of a down coverlet, which is too warm for us.

It was the cleanest and best maintained hotel I’ve ever seen and I stayed in many hotels around the world. This place smells amazing! Also the location is perfect.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the whole hotel and the quality of it, the food was excellent as is the wine card. Good beds and silent air-conditioning. Clean! Nice swimming pool. As one expects from a 5-star hotel and better.

I liked everything about the property.. the interior design, food, and most importantly the staff everyone is amazing, kind, and very helpful

We stayed at this hotel two years ago and returned this year with friends who also enjoyed their stay. Top quality and super friendly, professional and helpful staff

We recently stayed at the Hotel Cardinal for 5 nights in February 2025. Our stay was excellent, a 10 out of 10. There are so many positives to say about the Hotel Cardinal. First, the location is so good, right behind the Cathedrale St-Andre. But don't worry, the sound of the bells from the tower on the other side don't really bother you. The hotel is steps away from the historic L'Hotel de ville, and a 2 minute walk from the Musee des Beaux Arts. It is very easy to walk from the hotel to many other beautiful and historic sights, and shopping. The tram lines also stop by the cathedrale. The hotel itself, like so much of the old city center, is a very old building that is beautifully restored on the inside. Our sleeping room was a very good size, with a small kitchen, which came in handy. The room was super clean and quiet and intimate. I believe there are only 10 rooms in the Hotel Cardinal. Each room has a name, not a number. The staff is truly extraordinary. In our experience Axel and Bastien were also ready to help us with anything we needed: extra towels, directions to anywhere we wanted to go, arranging a taxi, even getting toast for my wife when she wasn't feeling well. Things you might want to know: Ask the hotel to call a taxi if you need one. We used a taxi to go to the train station (20 Euros) so we didn't have to change tram lines with our bags. If you take an uber, you should know that ubers are not allowed on the small street in front of the hotel, but taxis are allowed. The hotel has a breakfast for extra cost, which we did not have. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but that doesn't matter because there are so many other places just steps away from the front door. Summary: My wife and I highly recommend the Hotel Cardinal for many reasons, its location, its beautiful condition with very good sized rooms, The hotel is very small and quiet and charming. The staff is superior, always with such excellent attention paid.
