I love the Staycity brand! I stayed at two of their properties in Dublin and Staycity Bordeaux provided a similar boutique experience. However, I will say that likely because the hotel is situated in old buildings, there seemed to be no lift, at least in my building, and I found myself contending with far more stairs than I expected. My room was one flight up, which was fine, but then my accommodation turned out to be a duplex, which I found inconvenient, especially overnight, as the bathroom was on the first floor and the bedroom was on the second floor. Nonetheless, the accommodations were spacious and efficient and the bed could not have been more comfortable. The staff was cordial and helpful and spoke multiple languages, which put guests at ease. The Saint-Michel neighborhood where the hotel is located possesses its own charm, with lively squares containing bars and restaurants about a 5-minute walk away. The hotel is also convenient to the city centre without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The nearest tram stop is about a 5-7 minute walk from the hotel and a much more affordable option than a taxi if you are coming from Gare Saint Jean. The immediate area by the hotel can get a bit deserted after dark, but I did not feel unsafe, and the hotel requires a room key/code for entry at night. I'd gladly stay here again if they have rooms that are not duplexes!
