Louvre Hotels Group has opened HOSHO Bordeaux Centre Victoire, bringing its hybrid hotel-hostel brand to Bordeaux as it prepares to expand HOSHO to around ten properties across France within the next two years.
Located 600 metres from Place de la Victoire, the new property offers 80 beds across 16 rooms, combining shared accommodation with private booking options and communal spaces aimed at solo travellers, groups and guests staying for longer periods.
It becomes the second HOSHO location in France and strengthens Louvre Hotels Group’s presence in Bordeaux.
HOSHO Combines Hostel and Budget Hotel Features
HOSHO is positioned between a traditional hostel and a budget hotel, combining shared accommodation and social spaces with hotel-style facilities and a greater emphasis on privacy.
Across the brand, shared rooms typically accommodate between four and eight guests, with options to reserve rooms privately.
Properties also offer female-only shared accommodation, secure luggage lockers and beds designed to provide additional privacy within dormitory-style rooms.
Digital check-in and check-out systems are available depending on the location.
Louvre Hotels Group says the concept is intended to respond to demand for flexible and affordable urban accommodation without sacrificing basic comfort and security.
