Hotel 2-star in Bourges

Presentation

At B&B HOTEL Bourges 2, you will almost always arrive by car. The A71 exit is two minutes away, the building is easy to spot in the ZAC de l'Echangeur, just a few steps from its neighbor, B&B HOTEL Bourges 1, and the parking lot is gated and free. There is even a charging station for electric cars. Turn off the engine—your stopover begins.

The front desk is open in the morning until noon, then again from 5 p.m. Outside these hours, a self-service kiosk provides room access at any time. If you are driving late, you will not have to deal with anyone to get your key.

The hotel has 46 rooms spread over several floors, with no elevator. If you have a large suitcase, you will therefore need to carry it up the stairs. If stairs are an issue, it is best to mention this when booking and request a ground-floor room, as the property does not offer rooms adapted for guests with reduced mobility. In return, you get a small-scale hotel where you always see the same familiar faces at the front desk.

When you open the door to your room, you will find the consistency that defines the brand. A B&B by Bultex mattress, a thick comforter, and firm pillows. The air conditioning can be adjusted from the room, which makes all the difference in July. On the flat-screen TV, Canal+ is on for a game or an evening movie, and the Wi-Fi is reliable.

Families book the rooms for four, with some of the beds on a mezzanine level. Children climb up there without needing to be asked twice.

In the bathroom, the shower head provides plenty of water pressure, but the shower tray is not level with the floor, so you need to step over it. On the ground floor, a microwave is available for guests who have brought back takeout. Dogs are welcome for €6 per night, provided they are kept on a leash, but they are not allowed in the breakfast room.

From the early morning, the sweet and savory buffet is set out. Toast station, yogurts and cheeses, warm pastries from the heated station, fruit juice, and unlimited hot drinks. Expect to pay €9.50 per adult and €4.50 for children up to 10 years old. Those who need to get moving before leaving can use the partner fitness center next door, available free of charge upon request at the front desk.

To get to the city, you will need to drive again. The historic center is about 7 km away, and buses serve the area poorly. A 15-minute drive is enough to reach Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the Jacques-Cœur Palace, and the half-timbered streets, and you can find your parking space again when you return. The golf course is ten minutes away in the other direction.

On weekends, the buffet opens at 7:30 a.m., and the small dining room fills up quickly around 9 a.m. Come down a little earlier: there are plenty of seats, and the coffee has just been brewed.
