I arrived to Bordeaux yesterday afternoon and checked into the hostel closer to 7. I was a bit hesitant about staying at a hostel but I was so surprised at how homey it felt and how clean it was. Even the bathrooms are squeaky clean. Breakfast is served 7:30-10:30 however from 11-4 no one can be in their rooms because sheets are changed and cleaning is done. There is a tv next to the cafeteria and vending machines if you get thirsty at night. Be aware that there are no towels or soap/shampoo provided so bring/buy your own. read more
