Aparthotel Adagio Access Bordeaux Rodesse

Although this facility could do with updating it offers an excellent nest for a few days. The staff are friendly and helpful. My studio had a very comfortable bed, good bathroom and well equipped kitchenette. There was a good table for dining whilst watching the television. The building is a short walk to Meriadeck shopping centre which has a big Auchan with lots of perishables available. Also within walking distance are the Musee Beaux Arts which has a fab free garden and the shopping and people watching pleasures of Rue St Catherine. The tram is about 6 minutes walk away. This was my third time staying there and all have been fine especially staff and cleanliness of studio.

I have just checked out of Adiago Access today after a 4 night stay with my girlfriend. Overall the room was tidy and the bed was cosy. The shower was a good pressure and good temperatures however, it was quite small and the bathtub clogged up with water whilst showering. In terms of staff, they were helpful, however they didn’t approach you if you didn’t approach them. We had to ask for extra toilet roll. Also note that unless your stay is longer than 8 nights, you will not get an extra towel, or your room will not be cleaned. A major downfall of the hotel was the pool. On arrival, we were told that no men’s shorts were allowed in the pool, only speedos. We were not aware of this through the apartments advertisements online. The owner / manager of the pool was quite rude also. All in all, this was a fine hotel to stay at, however don’t expect too much!

Three stars is perhaps a little unfair, but four would be too generous. Our room was fine and clean, though was starting to show a little age. The bed was comfy and the kitchenette was well-equipped; there are three branches of Carrefour City within a five-minute walk. There was a little traffic noise from outside but it wasn't significant, and earplugs are provided. The bathroom, while spacious, had an odd half-bathtub that was slightly awkward and would be inaccessible for those with mobility issues. I can't say if that applies to all rooms. The hotel is a bit away from the main tourist areas but it's only 5 minutes to the tram stop at Palais de Justice and the surroundings are residential. Note that the reception is not 24-hour. It closes at 21:00 during the week (there is a code to unlock the front door) and at 16:00 on weekends. There's a contact number, but you may wish to plan accordingly.
