Stay in a guest house in Bordeaux, with Guillaume
Five rooms in an old Bordeaux townhouse on rue Séraphin, right in the centre, between Mériadeck, Saint-Seurin and the Chartreuse. The house has been renovated since 2022 and I welcome you there in person.

The essentials
A guest house means a handful of rooms rather than a hotel, and a host rather than a reception desk. In central Bordeaux, each of my five rooms has a private bathroom and homemade breakfast is included. Trams A and F are a 3-minute walk away, and check-in is from 3 pm.
A charming guest house in Bordeaux, run by a local
I spent nearly twenty years in industry, in Spain, Brazil and then the United States, where I sold French wine. Everywhere I went, what stayed with me were the shared tables and the warm welcomes. Coming back to Bordeaux felt only natural: my ancestor Victor Rich was the architect of the Monument aux Girondins.
With Pauline and our twins Raphaël and Lucas, we took over this old Bordeaux townhouse and renovated it in 2022, keeping the original wooden floors, the Bordeaux staircase and the high ceilings. If you are looking for a charming guest house in Bordeaux, this is the mix I offer: the soul of a period home and the comfort of a hotel (memory-foam bedding, individual air conditioning, electric blackout roller shutters, fast Wi-Fi).
I speak English and Spanish, which reassures many travellers coming from abroad.

Five guest rooms in Bordeaux, from 18 to 25 m²
The price of a night in a guest house depends mostly on the room. La Grande is the most spacious, from €140 a night for two. La Mansardée sits under the roof, with three skylights and a sitting area, but I would not recommend it for guests taller than 1.85 m. La Discrète has a period fireplace and a sofa corner, La Belle looks out over the rooftops, and La Lumineuse has a window right in the bathroom.
| Room | Category | Floor | Bedding |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Grande | Deluxe, 25 m² | 1st floor | King-size 180 or 2 single beds |
| La Belle | Deluxe, 25 m² | 2nd floor | King-size 180 or 2 single beds |
| La Lumineuse | Superior, 18 m² | 2nd floor | King-size 180 or 2 single beds |
| La Discrète | Superior, 18 m² | 2nd floor | Queen-size 160, fixed |
| La Mansardée | Comfort, 25 m² | 3rd floor | King-size 180 or 2 single beds |
A guest house in central Bordeaux, close to trams A and F
Rue Séraphin is very quiet, even though the Regional Council and Mériadeck are close by. My guests stay in the Saint-Bruno, Mériadeck, Hôtel de Région, Saint-Seurin and Chartreuse area. Place Gambetta is a 7-minute walk away, and the Miroir d’eau about 25 minutes on foot.
Many of my travellers are passing through the Bordeaux area: Mérignac and its airport, Le Bouscat, Talence, Pessac, Bègles. Couples on a weekend away, families, groups of friends, cyclists and business travellers all find a room that suits them, and I am always glad to share my favourite addresses for the day.
Prices, access, luggage: booking a guest house in Bordeaux
How much does a night in a Bordeaux guest house cost?
A night with me starts at €140 for two people in La Grande, the most spacious room. Homemade breakfast is included and every room has its own private bathroom. The best rate is guaranteed when you book direct, with flexible cancellation terms.
How do I get to the house from Saint-Jean station or the airport?
Tram F stops near the house: allow 20 to 25 minutes from Saint-Jean station and 25 to 30 minutes from the airport. The Saint-Bruno Hôtel de Région stop is a 3-minute walk from rue Séraphin. I do not offer an airport shuttle.
Can I park near the guest house?
I have no private car park. Guests park in the neighbouring streets, and I will tell you what to expect before you come. Many travellers prefer to leave the car and take the tram, 3 minutes away on foot. For bikes, a private Accueil Vélo garage is just a few steps away.
What time should I arrive, and what about my luggage?
Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is by 11 am, and you can do both on your own if you like, thanks to the secure entry system. If you arrive early, you can drop your bags before 3 pm. Luggage storage is free on the day of arrival and the day of departure.
