Concierge "Located just outside the historic city center in a largely commercial district, the 68-room Burdigala caters more to business types than vacationers and is uninspiring despite its four-star rating."
Fodor's "The modern exterior may be bland, but the interior of this sleek, five-star M Gallery Collection hotel dispels any risk of dullness." Full review
Lonely Planet "Its outstanding service makes it popular with visiting film stars, and even noncelebs are made to feel important here."
DK Eyewitness "At this sophisticated hotel in an elegant 18th-century building near the shopping street, rue Ste Catherine, the rooms are stylish and decorated using rich fabrics, wood and marble."
Star Service "While the latter boasts the more interesting historic location—the Burdigala is in a concrete jungle of commercialism—the Burdigala is more impressive inside, thanks to a sleek and chic renovation." Full review
Gayot "This hotel has both the advantages (business district, stores, museums) and the inconveniences (noise, traffic, etc.) of a city center location. Rooms are functional and soundproofed."
The Telegraph8.0
"The Burdigala offers a sense of spacious refuge within the city of Bordeaux, making visitors keen to return to a comfortable setting at the end of a day's exploration." Full review
Jetsetter "Plush five-star digs with an 18th-century façade and mod interiors near the center of historic Bordeaux." Full review
