this hotel seems recently updated and the interiors and rooms are really nice in this hotel class. Rooms look nice and are well-equipped and clean (and quiet). The exteriors could use a bit of paint to make it look more friendly and less like a dead building in a dead zone. The exterior might dissuade people to stay there, while it is really a nice, modern hotel on the edge of Bordeaux that I will remember next time I'm in the area.

We stayed in Novotel Bordeaux Lac for 5 days and had a lovely time! Our room was comfortable and clean, the food at the hotel restaurant was very nice, the staff kind and helpful and our 9 year old son also enjoyed the games room which had an XBox and a bar football. Highly recommended!

Not as expected
Booked an Executive room which was meant to have a queen bed, we had a double bed and the room was very poor the bathroom was grubby the water drained too slowly when showering so ended up with a bath half full of water when showering. Not a very good experience. The downstairs check in area was very good though very clean and modern which made the room feel more of a let down.

The property is very nice, suitable for travellers with a car. There's a convenient tram line to town center next door. Breakfast is fantastic. Staff is polite, english speaking and accomodating. All systems work well -- A/C, water pressure, sink draining. Comfortable beds. Rooms size is adequate. Excellent choice for staying in Bordeaux with good value for the money.
