it's a good spot and it was quiet. it's a 5-minute walk to the tram station and a 15- 20 minutes ride to the center. La Cité du Vin and other museums are within walking distance. Les Halles Bacalan is next door if you are hungry. The hostel also got pizzas and sandwiches. everyone at the reception desk was really friendly and helpful. I would stay here again next time I visit Bordeaux.
