Whoo Bordeaux Bacalan - Hostel

I had stayed two nights at Bacalan Hostel. I was on my city escape and booked shortly before my arrival to Bordeaux. I was impressed by the facilities which had been offered to us. The Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast had a wide range of foods and drinks. The Cafe was well stocked. Also, the gym was well equipped in case of free time to do. The hostel was clean with enough space in the common area lounges. There is no any fridge to keep your food in the common area. If you need to get to the rail station or airport you have to plan enough time , because one of the bridges to the marina Bordeaux may be lifted and you need to divert the route through another one. The hostel is very close to three important points at Bacalan to see: 1. The City of Vin - 18 museums, 2.The Hales of Bacalan - where there are over 20 stalls of cooked foods and many tables to sit and have lunch or dinner. 3. Galerie D' Art and the Garden of Les Vivres De L'art ( Le domaine du possible) just across the tram lane.

Modern hostel, has all you might expect from a hostel. Also lockers with a code (included in the reservation) for you bags. the room on the 5th floor was rather quiet with closed windows. It was also climatized. The ground floor is a big common area. The location (close to cité du vin in bobostan) is not that incredible but it is good connected with the tram line.

I recently stayed at Whoo Hostel in Bordeaux during a work trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the friendly and professional staff, who made check-in a breeze. The facilities at this hostel are top-notch, providing everything a traveler could need, whether you're here for business or leisure. There's a laundry room and an ironing board, good wifi, air conditioning on the ground floor (it was 41 degrees in Bordeaux during my stay !) The atmosphere at Whoo Hostel is truly unique – a great balance of vibrant energy and relaxed comfort. The communal areas are beautifully designed, offering enough space to work in the coworking room, unwind on the sofas, and socialize on the terrace. The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, which was essential for my work needs, and I found the workspace to be both comfortable and conducive to productivity. My dorm was spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail in every aspect of the hostel, from the cozy bedding to the thoughtful amenities provided - like the little shelf to put your phone and glasses beside the bed. The location is also fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and all the main attractions of Bordeaux. I hopped on a tram from St Jean train station and was at the hostel in no time. One of the highlights of my stay was the social atmosphere. Even though I was traveling for work, I felt a strong sense of community among the guests, and the hostel's events made it easy to connect with fellow travelers. It's clear that the team at Whoo Hostel has put a lot of effort into creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. They spend time getting to know each and every guest, joking, laughing, listening. They're really great fun.

Super atmosphere, bar, food court, work stations, free luggage storage. I didn't realize till I get there but since they also provide private accommodation (dormitory like) for student semesters around, pretty much whole facility designed and maintained based on that. Which means super attentive staff, clean facilities, geeking/studying fellows. Genuinely lovely atmosphere. Bed are comfortable, has curtains and one power and one USB-A socket. Easy check-in and out, highly secured. There are even cupboards with 4-digit keylock which its code is printed on your keycard. All in all deserves its money! Merci!

I stayed for 4 days and had a great stay. The room, bathrooms, and common area downstairs were always cleaned and the staff was friendly. There isn’t a kitchen but they do have a microwave and utensils you can use so at least you can heat up some food. The location was also nice and despite there being a bar right outside, it was always pretty quiet in the room. The hostel is in a good location near the tram, cité du vin, and many other places
