I contacted Aparthotel Adagio Bordeaux Center Gambetta right away on October 19 at 20:38 and asked to not charge us for the first two nights.

This hotel has decided to charge 35 euros extra to have your room cleaned if your stay is for less than eight nights!!!

but the reception staff only explained the cleaning charges upon my requesting it.

There were extra charges of €12 for breakfast and €8 for cleaning which given the price could have been included, is the only downside.

(Here's the thing: I've worked retail, so I know how easy it is to do a credit card refund; you literally just press a different

They charge extra for cleaning & new towels.

If you are coming in on the train go to the transport office - (just ask someone at the station where it is) and get a 7 day travel card €9.80 if over 60 or around €13 if under which enables travel on all public transport.

When we checked our stay of 4 days at the reception, we were told that the hotel policy was not to clean the rooms at all or change the towels if you stay from 4 to 7 days, only for extra charge.

We got a card that we used  in the elevator and to open the door of the appartment.

Access is secure, in the sense that you use your bedroom card to enter the elevator (there's no stairs to go up to the rooms) and also to enter the hotel at night, so only clients can access.

They only downside is that if you want your room cleaned, they do charge you extra for it (perhaps this differs if you stay for a certain amount of time) and was the same if you wanted to change towels.

There was more bureaucracy than the other places we stayed at and there always seemed to be a line of guests with issues (our card keys didn't work more than  day at a time, for example).

although for us there was an extra charge for room cleaning.

but we would be very reticent to pay what other providers were charging now that we' ve had the opportunity to read through the advertising lines so to speak!

Cleaning would have cost €23 extra on our 4 night stay, and towels had a minumum extra charge

Arriving to the hotel we were told that the room we ordered is not suitable and we were forced to replace it with another room for a descent extra charge.

The bathroom fan for some reason had a piece of card covering it so the bathroom was completely steamed up for hours after.

but we only needed the car for a short period, so we put up with the charge for the convenience of not having to find car-parking space or lug heavy bags too far.

When we returned some hours later all our belongings had been relocated to an even bigger and better room at no extra charge, for which we were extremely grateful.

They charged me I paid cash, then they charged my credit card, then I tried to cancel my inward bound reservation and couldnt they said they would call me to refund my card they didnt and they charged me again for the room I cancelled, I AM FURIOUS and cant speak to anyone there

My major complaint that only one towel was provided per person and you had to pay extra to have them changed or your room cleaned.

The small kitchenette with plates and cutlery was useful (they provide cleaning products as well).

The concept is different so you should know that there is no housekeeping every day.

Rooms not cleaned unless cleaning fee of €8 is paid.

Be aware no housekeeping for stays of less than 7 days if that is important to you.

If you stay for less than seven days, the hotel does not offer housekeeping (except at an extra cost), this means no fresh towels, no change of sheets and not even removal of garbage, you must take it out yourself.

You have to pay for daily cleaning at around 6-8 euro per day if you want the room cleaning

There’s no cleaning (unless you pay for it) if staying less than 7 nights, and linens or towels will not be replaced.

The kitchen drawers also needed to be cleaned better since it had an unpleasant smell.

The only downside is that room cleaning (incuding replacement towels) is not included in the room price,

Something to be aware of before you book :

You will have to $18/day  for housekeeping and $3 per day to change your towels  towel .

Depending on the number of nights you are staying, you may or may not have a cleaning service included.

The stay was perfect, all staff were friendly, everything was clean in the room.

Hotel Gambetta is in an ideal location, the staff were extremely helpful, breakfast was good, and the room very clean.

Overall good location and nice clean rooms

Room was very clean with ample space, nice personel and for the price a very nice breakfast!

The rooms are clean and spacious, if a little sparse.

The location of the property was great, the room was very clean and comfortable.

Our room was very clean and always well made.

Rooms are not serviced and if you need extra towels, that would be 2 euro extra.

Can you believe that - in this time of Covid 19 they don’t give you fresh towels (extra 2 euro 50 for tiny towel) or clean the room unless you are staying for eight days or more.!!!!

You have to pay extra for extra towels and cleaning the room.

I use a rolled up bath towel to lie on rather than use the pillow provided.

Each guest gets one bath and one face towel.

They wouldn't even provide an extra towel when asked.

The only issue we had was that for our length of stay ( 4 nights )we didn't have housekeeping, and when we asked for clean towels we were told we would have to pay extra.

In fact they did not carge us for towel changes during our 4 night stay.

The towels were  pretty well used and the housekeeping was not so great.

Don't hang your towels out on the balcony.

What I wasn't aware of was that as I had booked for 6 days, housekeeping would come as an extra - 25 euros a day, as would a change of towels for 5 euros.

This also meant I had no towels in the room.

Both room and hallway were dark, could use more overhead lights.

Only window looked out on neighbouring room window, so quite dark.

When first approaching this gem late at night, in a small, dark road, my wife and I were not so sure we made a good choice.

Being lower down there was less natural light and so the room was a little dark during the day.

We booked a superior room and it was very small and dark.

The rooms were dark and insufficiently lighted.

We asked to change room as we found the first floor quite dark and it was no problem to the team who were able to help.

The room is painted in dark grays, has minimal lighting, and looks out on an air shaft.

Good location, clean rooms and sheets, cleaning every day, silent.

Excellent breakfast.

Lovely, clean rooms & the breakfast is substantial .

This is a boutique hotel in a great location (just center of everything), nice clean rooms, amazing staff that work 24 hours a day to help and make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Compensated by clean room, that looks like if was refurbished relatively recently, fresh bedding and towels, nice toiletries, AC and very friendly staff.

Nothing to say about the tiny room because we didn’t stay long.

My only surprise was the very small rooms.

but our room was tiny--they provide robes and a bottle of water.

but we found the standard room quite small - unfortunately the luxury rooms were all booked out.

Downsides were, not very convenient if you are travelling by car - need to drop luggage and block the street, then park car in very tight public car park which is not exactly next door.

My single room was well-apponted, yet a bit tight and caused me to hesitate in awarding the 5 star rating.

however that there are no eggs offered at Breakfast and that single room is a bit of a tight room .

Car Parking locally is tight , beware of local car parks if you have a larger than average car.

There's an elevator(tiny like most in Europe) and a sweet old school spiral staircase(which we took down).

The receptionist explained that we had to take the tiny elevator to the fourth floor, then ascend a small stair case.

I believe it was room 206 which was right across from the elevator and even had a double entry door to cut down on hall noise so it was very quiet.

There is even a little old fashioned lift to get your bags to your room. Quaint.

We were initially concerned because it is directly in front of the elevator.

tiny lift, dark corridors and tiny tiny bedroom . .

3 star hotel with a lot of historical French charm, tiny manual elevators, large brass keys and ancient French style bathroom.

The trams are constructed that the gap between the platform is only an inch and is level, so no problem having to lift your luggage.

We had Room 307 right opposite the lifts, which we thought might be a problem with noise.

One can use the wide staircase or the elevator.

The hotel has a small elevator, and a pretty spiral staircase.

To reach the apartment, you need to take the elevator to level 4, then climb up a tiny spiral staircase (if you have heavy luggage, I don't recommend it).

The hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious.

Rooms were very clean, modern and extremely comfortable.

Extremely clean rooms, good service, helpful staff, quiet street unless sights directly to the Opera and all the landmarks and restaurants around.

The rooms were very small which was a bit of a problem with all of our luggage.

Very good hotel,great location ,staff very good and breakfast excellent .If you want to stay in Bordeaux not for a lot of money this is the place for you.Parking is very Covent 10euros a day.The rooms were very clean as was shower and toilet

We woke up with the face and the whole body with bite scars.

Really only used the hotel as a base and for showering and sleeping

The level of noise meant we got almost zero sleep, not a great start to a holiday.

Suspect the sleeping area is no more than 9 ft by 9 ft. We sort of stacked the small furniture to have room to open our luggage.

A place to sleep in, rather than to spend the day.

It’s a pretty basic spot to get some sleep.

It’s 33 degrees in France at the moment and this hotel expects their customers to sleep on plastic.

The shower/ toilet door also doubles up to form an extra door between the sleeping area and the corridor.

After quick check in and payment, we took the elevator to our quiet 4th floor room and went to sleep until check out at Noon.

As a couple, both our bodies were itching after the first night of sleeping on the bed.

To say we got a bad nights sleep is an understatement,

Staff was really nice and helpful. The only problem we had was that the room was full of mosquitoes so we didn't managed to sleep that well even after killing couple of them :)

but no top sheet which did make it rather hot for sleeping.

No views, but who cares, I'm just there to sleep.

It is stuffy, cramped and so noisy that it is impossible to sleep.

For a 3-star Budget Hotel we did not expect to pay such high tariffs for the room! The room was tiny and we made a complaint re: the staff leaving the aircon on ALL DAY @20degC (which meant a FREEZING reception when we returned at the end of the day) - and despite their hotel policy of conserving resources, they kept removing our towels every day and replacing them - EVEN THOUGH we kept them hung up (to say: PLEASE keep them here!)

We would recommend such a small room only for a short stay.

The room was like a small closet with the bed taking up most of the space.

I've marked the hotel down slightly because of the very small rooms,

The room was small (but you expect this for a city centre location),

Towels are rather small and the bathroom, well, was very small.

No real complaints except only gave bath towels and a couple days only gave 1 towel when we were there as a couple.

The bedding and towels were changed halfway through our 4 night stay.

Bed was ok, 2 bath towels only (2 of us), no hand towels or wash cloths, no shower curtain, no art on the walls, one hard plastic school chair in room., soap was large container attached to the wall, no shampoo, etc.

The lady continued to argue with me, telling me it was because I had a DND sign on, this was very poor to expierence and I was pretty shocked, I had to end the ongoing disagreement and say 'anyway, I still require towels'.

but said that we could have another towel - we just had to ask.

but we only received one towel each, no hand towel and they were not changed daily.

In all, even the towels were not clean and we felt the cleanness and hygiene standards were compromised.

The room was very small, there were poor quality towels and we had to ask for one more towel as they only gave us one and then no hand towels.

The rooms are immaculate and have all the amenities needed for our travel.

The room was clean if a little pokey and the view from our window was a wall.

Breakfast was good,  clean room ,but the bed was to hard , a bit softer bed would do the thing.

The rooms had small double beds and not even space to swing a cat.

While the twin room we had was small it was beautifully decorated and very comfortable,

we arrived at Saturday night, the room was very small

As expected, rooms were on the small side,

Our friends had a normal room and it was tiny.

I agree with some of the reviews that the room was a bit small,

We were given a very small room where the bed took up the majority of it, looking out on a wall.
