Obviously one's experience of a hotel depends largely on the room allocation. Perhaps because we booked months in advance, and for a four-night stay, our room was very pleasant. Although the furniture and fittings indicated that the hotel has seen better days, the room was spacious, clean and quite comfortable. As a bonus, it also had a balcony overlooking the... more

My wife and I booked a room for one night at the Hotel de la Presse for a transition between our stay in Paris and a week long cycling trip through the Bordeaux region run by BackRoads. We didn't expect a luxury hotel, but did have a reasonable expectation of a clean room in a "good" location within the city.... more

This is the second time I stayed in this hotel. Last year for 5 days, this year for 12 - I used it as a base and travelled around SW France on the trains. My reason for staying for a long stretch was to minimise the difficulty of finding hotel as the Rugby World Cup going on. It is a... more

We stayed here for three nights following the rugby world cup and were happy enough with our choice. As other reviewers have noted, the rooms are really very small indeed, but they do the job if you're looking for a place to crash - they're not the kind of rooms where you would 'hang out' exactly. On the plus side... more

We ended up booking this place cos nothing else was free (rugby and the vinexpo on in bordeaux that weekend). It was much better than expected, but I don't think I would have fancied staying there for much longer than one night. The reception, corridors and rooms are all a bit small and cramped, and our window (at least) opened... more

I found this hotel on tripadvisor and then went to their website. The place looked charming! It wasn't! The rooms smelled funny, there was construction going on all day right next to the building, the hotel was strange to navigate, rooms really small, etc. We ended up leaving and going to Hotel Burgdalia which we liked a lot better. We... more

My boyfriend and I spent a night there at the beginning of July, on our way to Dordogne. We wanted a central hotel, close to the monuments, theatre and shops, and convenient to get to from the airport and train station. This was defintely it, and I have no regrets to that respect. The hotel is also clean, and although... more

The Hotel de la Presse was the kind of hotel where you walk into the room and say, "Oh, well... this will be fine." After reading some positive reviews regarding room size, we were surprised at how small our room was. There was enough room to walk around the bed, and that was about it. The bed itself was quite... more

Spent a week here and felt that it was very good value for money (we paid approx 700 Euros for a spacious double room including breakfast). Although the room was dark, it was extremely clean and comfortably furnished and fairly quiet-especially given its location in a busy area. The staff were very friendly and helpful although we were initially confused... more
