Hôtel du Théâtre

Bordeaux


Just off the main shopping strip on a pedestrian street, two-star rooms here are a potpourri of styles: some are entirely classic while others are sun-burst Mediterranean colours. Breakfast costs €8 per person or, better still, head to a cafe on neighbouring place de la Comédie.
