Hotels near Mérignac Airport - BOD, Bordeaux

Good hotel for one night during our travel to Portugal. Very Pet friendly and the Staf is very helpful. There is a very good restaurant next-door but closed on Sundays. The staf pointed another eating place closeby that was good,

Take time to explore the out of the way neighbourhoods in Bordeaux. There is lots to see. Say Bonjour and Merci to everyone. They do. LRT service is excellent. Go to Meriadeck Mall for groceries and Galeries Lafayette on Rue Saint Catherine. Rue Saint Catherine is a pedestrian walkway on the A line LRT. Go down to the riverfront. Drink the wine. Make an effort to speak French. Merignac is a suburb of Bordeaux. My comments apply to Bordeaux.

A superb modern hotel finished to the highest standard, the staff were all very helpful and kind. The beds and pillows are so comfy and we plan to return as we enjoyed our stay very much. Perfect location for the airport and they offer a free shuttle service but it stops at 15:00 but also ideal for exploring Bordeaux as you can get the tram from right outside the arrivals lounge of the airport. Drinks and food both very expensive, chef has delusions of grandeur, his menu and the way it was written put us of eating there, all foams and weird concoctions!

I stayed over in Mérignac because of early flight out. I wish I could stay longer. Definitely should explore the area. The people are super friendly and helpful. Surprisingly clean around the airport area and smoke addicts don't enjoy more comforts than non-smokers. I felt an effort is made that non-smokers are not exposed to second hand smoking as it usually is the case. Thank you

The BandB was centrally situated from the Chateaux area of Medoc. Only an hour's drive to the picturesque areas of Arcachon, cap Ferret and Dune du Pilat and just 12 minutes to downtown Bordeaux. We drove to areas an hour or more away and used Uber to and from downtown Bordeaux. We really enjoyed the wonderful Italian food from Palatino. We enjoyed a tour to the quaint town of Saint Emelion as well as Chateaux Tour Baldoz. Using the very informative Tourist Office we took an informative boat tour on the Garonne river as well as a mini train ride around the city. The Cite du Vin was so informative.

For my situation, I needed car park and pets allowed, I wanted to go to the ocean which I did one day and it was amazing - I was too hot and tired to go another day due to no AC in room, outside temp 34 degrees. The area was nice, but I prefer countryside , for my requirements and budget there were no hotels in the countryside for the dates I needed - it all depends on peoples' individual circumstances, for some it is just one night stop over for the airport , I had several requirements , and would have liked another day at the sea. The immediate grounds of the hotel were nice with trees and grass area I could take my dog there first thing in morning and at night.
