Mercure Bordeaux Centre Gare Atlantic

The hotel is right across the road from the train station and tram/bus stops. I had a nice stay except for two things. First, the tap/shower water was too hot. A hotel staff showed me how to adjust the water temperature and said it was like this all in France. I of course disagree. I had stayed in two ibis hotels in Paris and Nantes just before checking in this Mercure. I had stayed in countless hotels throughout my 30 years of travels in Europe and had never encountered this "scalding water" issue. In any case, the solution was to let the water run an exceptionally long time till the very hot water ran out. Then I could adjust the temperature. I come from a place where people treasure fresh water and find this unacceptable. As the hotel take international guests, perhaps there should be notices/instructions in the bathroom on how to deal with this "scalding water" issue. Second, the coffee provided in the room was below expectation. A 4-star hotel should do better than that. I was glad about the kettle in the room, though.

TGVが泊まるボルドーの駅の目の前で、アクセスが良いです。深夜のチェックインにも対応いただき、接客も丁寧でした。ただ、英語は苦手なスタッフさんが多いのか、コミュニケーションに少し苦労しました。

酒店位置很好，就在火車站對面，坐有軌電車去市中心也很方便。
