I chose Central Hostel first and foremost for the location, which was truly great. Just by that alone I think it was worth the price. The staff was also superfriendly. The accomodation was a little claustrophobic as you sleep in wooden "tubes", but the bed very comfortable. The cleanliness was overall okay, but the bathrooms and showers could use some renovation. No kitchen but there was a microwave in the bar and they could store stuff in the fridge there for you. So, all in all priceworthy!

Staff were lovely and friendly. Lady at the desk asked me about my travels and was really helpful when I went to my room and found someone sleeping in my bed. Issue was resolved and I was given a new bed. Compared to the other hostels I stayed at staff here were very friendly and I would definitely stay there again.

La ubicación es perfecta y las habitaciones son bastante limpias. Sin embargo, el no tener cocina y que la gente del exterior pueda entrar al hostal cuando quiera hace que se pierda la esencia de un hostal de toda la vida. Si viajas solo, para mi personalmente no es el lugar idóneo, sobre todo porque la gente va a su bola y no parecía muy dispuesta a conocer gente.

Multiple issues with water (showers, sinks, toilets) being broken, but otherwise a great stay. Room was comfortable, but be aware that walking areas are tight. Nice space in bed and storage.

PROS: - The location is brilliant, right in the heart of the city. - Breakfast was satisfactory. - Quiet. - Big bed with privacy curtain. - Wi-fi. CONS: - Anyone could access the upper floors of the hostel, which made me doubt its security for a bit. - There was an overall smell of sewage in the building, which was not very present. - Bathrooms could do with a makeover and a more regular cleaning schedule.

Overall, I enjoyed this hostel in terms of location and staff. Valentin was wonderful and super helpful upon checkin. The security at this location is not good though, as homeless people were welcome to sleep in the lobby. Important to note that the age demographic for this hostel is pretty old. Everyone in our room was over 50 years old so if you are looking for a younger atmosphere you won't find it here. Would be nice to be in a room with people our age.

Merci à la bienveillance et professionnalisme de Lucas et Maria La brésilienne. Vous avez été très généreux et à l’écoute de nos plaintes et demandes. Le manager n’est pas vraiment dans l’écoute. Et l’autre femme qui venir me parler dans la chambre me prenais de haut, mais pour qui tu te prends ? Parler avec respect aux clients c’est la base. Même si je m’étais disputé avec ma collègue de chambre, cette manière de parler avec arrogance et hautaine qu’elle était, ...

Right in the centre, but didn’t feel safe in terms of the people hanging around outside. Staff were really lovely and helpful!! Bathrooms were grossss and smell like pee and the whole place smelt bad idk if they have an issue with pipes or something at the moment but it was bad. Comfy and clean bedrooms!

Hostel tres bien situé au centre ville de Bordeaux. La chambre double au 4eme étage est magnifique avec des très jolies vues sur la cathédrale. Personnel très amable. Attention juste à la sécurité au niveau de la place car souvent des sans abris parfois malintentionnées

Another excellent stay at Central! The beds are super comfortable and private with decent lockers. No complaints whatsoever. Staff and atmosphere were on point. Definitely would recommend! Excellent value for money considering the location.

This was a great spot for a couple of nights in Bordeaux! It was walkable to a number of areas and easy to find. My only recommendation is that the bathroom and showers get a deep clean and the lighting fixed. On the floor where I stayed, only 1 of the 2 shower rooms had lights that stayed on and even then it was just 1 small light on the other side of the room from the shower head. But the bed was comfortable and storage for luggage was spacious.
