Great stay on the edge of Bordeaux - but one likely requires a car to get here. There is lots of parking outside and it is close to the Autobahn for easy accessibility. Getting into Bordeaux is fairly simple, as there is a regular (every 30 mins) bus that will take you to the main bridge over the river to get into the city's old town. The location itself is very nice, a very nice old chateau and a lot of open space on the grounds. Rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds, a large clean bathroom, and everything else you might except - towels, extra blankets, a kettle, etc.
Breakfast was really good with typical French fare (baguettes, cheese, marmelade, etc.). Staff are nice and helpful and speak good English.
Overall, for the relatively low price, its definitely a place I can recommend for a weekend (or longer) stay in Bordeaux.
Set in Floirac and with Stone Bridge reachable within 3.3 km, SAMANKE lOUNGE offers a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

The hosts mother was excellent! She met us and showed us all in the apartment and explained the bus system. Great apartment with all you need. Was in excellent location for us as had an appointment at Floirac hospital and only bus ride in Bordeaux. Nice quiet location, perfect fit what we wanted.

Like many of the reviewers, we stayed here for one night to attend a concert in the Arena. There are not many hotels and apartments in the newly developing area around the Arena. It looked complicated to travel to the location by public transport although we are very familiar with the city of Bordeaux and always stay closer to the city centre. This accommodation is an easy and safe ten minute stroll to the Arena. Our overall impression was that the apartment is OK for a one night stay, and very reasonably priced. We agree with most of the comments made by other guests, where their small concerns should be related to the price and location of their stay.
The owner was charming when he phoned to give us the door code number - he speaks good English too. If I were he, I would spend half a day at the property doing little improvements to promote the review rating to an 8/9 level. Specifically, install a couple of hooks on a wall for coats and clothing (there is nowhere to put these), install the smoke alarm properly, add a bottle opener to the kitchen utensils, replace the door knob on the bathroom door, leave a note that the bathroom light switch hides behind the sliding door, have a bedside lamp to soften the atmosphere from the single bare centre lamp, and write an instruction for the WiFi and TV operation. All that would cost very little, improve the rating and I guess he could easily increase the night's price by €10 and have even happier customers.
I have another comment about parking the car - see below
Floirac is an empty town. If you would like to visit Bordeaux it is perfect, since it is easy to take the car there. In 15-20 minutes you are in the centre of Bordeaux! In Floirac there are no stores, no cafes, no restaurants,... But you can find a beautiful hotel in Floirac that is cheaper than staying in Bordeaux centre itself. We stayed in Chateaux La Cheze, which was beautiful.

The rooms in the main building are good although you do need a torch to read as the lighting is abismal with black walls.Very good bathroom The rooms in the stable block are spacious but again the lighting is abismal with a black wall and if it is hot you cannot open the windows as it is on the ground floor. The air conditioning did not work when we stayed there the night of 10th June The food in the restaurant was excellent however there is no food available at the weekends.
It was an ideal position when needing a nights rest when travelling further
The greeting from staff when we entered the hotel was warm and friendly, and explanations of what was nearby including food were very helpful. The room though compact had everything you could want - the bed and pillow were comfortable and everything was clean. Didn't hear any noise overnight, even though we were by a very busy road. The breakfast food was fresh, with lots of choice, sweet and savoury available. So pleased we found this hotel, perfect for a stop over on the way to the Pyrenees, and will definitely be back!
One of the best hotels i have stayed in in our travels,lovely authentic rooms and grounds to relax in.Wonderful very helpful staff who go out of there way to help especially Eugene who we interacted with the most.Our group all have said the same and will advise friends and family to stay if they come to Bordeaux.
Convenience for Bordeaux. Spacious grounds and grand building. The restaurant looked good, and should have probably eaten there! We really appreciated the free parking after discovering how hard it is to park in Bordeaux with a roof box. Top tip - get a taxi into Bordeaux from the hotel - don't drive!
The hosts mother was excellent! She met us and showed us all in the apartment and explained the bus system. Great apartment with all you need. Was in excellent location for us as had an appointment at Floirac hospital and only bus ride in Bordeaux. Nice quiet location, perfect fit what we wanted.
Great hotel. Very warm throughout the hotel which we found excellent. Lovely grounds. The majority of the staff were excellent. Good secure parking within the grounds of the hotel.
Staff were really lovely, especially Jessica.
Breakfast was lovely and they decked out the hotel for the Rugby World Cup and set up a large screen for fans to watch games.
We were looking for a tidy, well-priced hotel to spend one night on our way to the North, close to the highway. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, not noisy.
Room was clean, comfortable and was excellant for our one night stay. Parking was easy and staff incredibly helpful. Hotel location brillant for the arena
