Location location location! I loved my stay at the Central Hostel. The staff were super nice and helpful and the location is truly central and very walkable. I stayed in a 8 bed mixed dorm for the first time and the blackout blinds were a gamechanger for me. Other than a microwave there's no kitchen but there're an Aldi and Carrefour nearby which is super helpful. The washrooms and the showers weren't the cleanest and it didn't feel like they were being cleaned daily but it's a hostel after all. If I'd ever go back to Bordeaux, I'll definitely stay here but would book a female dorm instead. Merciii :>

Bel hostel au cemtre de Bordeaux

Bien situé, couchette bien équipé avec rideau black-out, prises et lampe. Par contre, couloir étroit entre les deux rangées de lit, ce qui bloque la circulation dans la chambre.

Auberge de jeunesse très bien placé par rapport au centre ville et les lignes de tram. Malheureusement un peu décu par l'accueil, qui aurait du être plus cordial, et l'état des services: savons vides dans les toilettes, portes des lockers cassées, lockers non utilisables, cadenas indisponibles, ... .

The area is not safe, a lot of homeless around the hotel. Services are very limited: WiFi didn’t work, terrible smell in the lobby and bathroom, not possible to set your temperature in the room, no iron available even if you ask the front desk. The overall experience was not so good.

Agreable sejour sur Bordeaux

L'emplacement est top. J'ai mis 10 minutes env en trottinette depuis la gare. L'hotel est en plein centre et pas loin des quais pour les visites, ballades etc. L'hotel possède un super accueil avec bar et tables pour se poser et prendre un verre tranquillement. L'accueil est réalisé par une équipe jeune et dynamique et j'ai été agréablement surpris par la bienveillance de l'équipe . Malgré le fait d'être en dortoir, j'ai trouvé la chambre hyper calme (j'ai eu la chance d'avoir des convives respectueux), et tout était d'une super propreté. En gros je recommande vivement cet établissement. Le séjour était parfait.

Decent stay but lacks aktivities and cleanness

I was a bit disappointed with my stay at this hostel. The location was very good, and the room was nice with very private bunkbeds that each had its own curtain. That made you feel like you had your own little space. However, there were no activities during my stat, and there was generally not a hostel “vibe” where you felt it was natural to speak to others. The bar-area in the reception was alright, but each person just sat by themself. For me, that was quite disappointing. Furthermore, in the room, there were some very weird-looking dark spots in the ceiling that definitely looked like some kind of mould. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures, but it was definitely a bit concerning. Other than that, the room was clean and the bed felt very nice as well.

Unfortunately, the hostel does not have control of its surroundings. At the time of my stay, there were some unhoused people with dogs. And at night they would bark. ( the dogs not the people ) But in no insistence did I feel unsafe. The area is very centrical and walking distance to most attraction. Highly recommend.
