Appart Hôtel Mer & Golf City Bordeaux Bruges 

We chose this Hotel mainly because 4 adults wanted to stay together and it has a pool, which seems rare enough in Bordeaux. It's a little outside the city but easily accessible by tram (€1.45 per person on the 10-journey ticket), Uber (€15), or just walking (about 2.5k to Bassins De Lumiere & 5k to Place de La Bourse). The city and outskirts are extremely cycle friendly with cycle lanes everywhere and its around a 10min cycle to the city centre. The hotel itself is a decent 3 star apartment-style hotel, and I would definitely stay here again even though it's let down by some small things. The positives are that its great value, the room was spacious with a nice balcony, the staff were nice, the pool seemed new and everywhere was very clean. There is a supermarket just at the entrance to the property which was very handy. We paid €10 extra for a lake view and its absolutely worth it, the other side looks out on a carpark, so pay the extra if they have availability. The lake view (and over the swimming pool) gave a completely different feel to the holiday than a car park view would have. The air-con was very good and the main bed was comfy. The sofa bed was very squeeky and there was something sharp cut off the end of the base which actually drew blood from three of us on our calves at different times as we walked by the bed. A simple fix with some tape (or grinding off) which should be carried out asap! (Room A304). There is a small kitchenette which was handy as well as a kettle and coffee maker and a fridge. There was also a dishwasher, but we didn't use it as it was mouldy inside. This seemed out of character with the cleanliness of the complex in general. A few times we had to go looking for more towels, toilet rolls and body wash for the shower. There was also a large brown water stain on the ceiling of the bedroom. There was no washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets, no draining board area and no tea towels. None of these things seem difficult to fix and shouldn't be letting down what is otherwise a good place to stay. Overall if a good value break with a pool in Bordeaux is what you need it's a good option.
