“expensive and awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2006

The front of house staff were welcoming , but there the luxury ended. The hotel is an unashamed money making venture, The room was in serious need of a makeover, and the restaurant was poorly run and had even run out of Margaux wines! I wanted a swim after my long drive, and was charged 30euros for the privilege. The leisure centre consisted of a postage stamp pool with some wave makers up one side, and a waft of aromatherapy. If I had wanted to use it the following morning before departing, I would have had to spend a further 30 euros.
For a hotel of this alleged class, everything was extra, from the extortionate rates for internet access to use of hotel bicycles.
I would advise anyone visiting the vineyardsof Bordeaux to make a wide detour of this undesirable property.

“Loved it all!”

We had a wonderful stay here after "trying" to stay in the centre of Bordeaux! Having spent 1 night in that awful place we desperately looked to check in elsewhere, Relais de Margaux was the best decision we ever made!

Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, rooms were fantastic and comfortable, pool and grounds well maintained and adequate. As for the dining experience, WOW! Food and wines were outstanding.

You DO need a car unless you are into walking, but this is not a fault of the hotel. The area itself is packed full with fantastic chateaux to explore and taste wines. We would go back to this hotel, and the Medoc area again.
