The neighborhood is ok, but one night the cafe next door played very loud music until late in the night and it was difficult to sleep.

Easy communication. George was very kind and helpful, and gave us many tips to make the most out of our stay. The room was beautiful and clean and the breakfast was great.

A lovely room, that was beautifully done. It had everything you needed. Lovely comfortable bed, coffee machine, spacious room. Really good location too. It was very easy to get to the centre and nice bars 10 minutes walk away. Georges was very welcoming and gave us really helpful information about Bordeaux. I would definitely recommend this place.

We loved everything

Everything.....Georges was fun, friendly, helpful, attentive to our every need. The accommodation was exceptional...decor was out of this world behind a facade of unexceptional streetscape. The breakfast was a banquet of fresh and delicious foods.

The noise from the street was a little loud from street-side room on this Saturday night (eh oui, Bordeaux won the rugby match)! It felt safe to walk with others through the neighborhood at night.

Great location to the center of town, beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, very nice shower & bath. Exceptionally gracious host who gave us a very warm welcome with wonderful suggestions for sight-seeing & restaurants.

A mini-fridge in the room would be nice…

The property is hidden behind a door that does not reveal anything about it, but when you enter, it’s a beautifully restored and tastefully decorated interior; a nice hideaway. Location is in a funky part of Bordeaux - low rent, so culturally diverse, lots of university students, self-serve automatic laundries, and more barber shops and hair salons than you can shake a stick at - but fun, interesting, and easy walking distance from the train station, main market (des Capucins), lively Place de la Victoire with its bars and students, and the start of rue St. Catherine, and beyond. Breakfast is great, brought to your room, so you can eat at your own little table in solitude. Ingredients all first rate. In-room coffee maker makes great coffee.

No complaints

Charming, 300 year old guest house, beautifully decorated, safe, pristinely clean, close to the city’s largest market (a must see), and a mile from city center and the water. Georges, the host, was gracious, available, and gave us an excellent itinerary of what to see and do in the city.

The bed was a bit hard but otherwise, everything was wonderful.

Great hotel, great host, very central location. We enjoyed our 4 nights there and we were able to walk everywhere as well as being close to the streetcar stop.

Super clean and well decorated, very private as well. Georges is the best host you can have. We felt completely at home, he knows the area and the city like no one else. Thank you for the warm welcome and pleasant stay. In case you wonder, the area is safe and parking your car won’t be a problem

Very comfortable room, clean and quiet. Georges was very helpful. Other reviews mentioned the location. Although not in a lively part of town, I felt very safe. 15 minute walk to train station.

Georges is a wonderful and helpful host and assisted us with luggage, taxi, sight seeing, and restaurants. His home is beautiful, quiet, clean, and relaxing. Although it was only for one night in transit to Paris, I wish we could have stayed longer. Everything is of the highest quality and Georges was a very professional, knowledgeable, and super friendly host.

It might have undermined the glorious ambience of my room, but I would have welcomed a small fridge.

The rooms were decorated with an amazing amount of flair and style. They were enormous compared to many places in which I have stayed. What made our stay even more enjoyable was our host, George, who was so charming and helpful that we really wanted to stay longer. We were not able to enjoy the famous breakfast as I had an early flight, but this gives us an excellent reason to return. I recommend La Parenthèses des Capucins unreservedly.

Slightly 'edgy' part of town but not intimidating.

Georges was a great host and very accommodating. Room was spacious and well equipped. Lovely powerful shower. Market close by, and centre ville walkable.
