Great hotel, even though not that centric. Nice design and thematic. Staff very helpful. Nice bar and restaurant. Has a sauna/steam room and jacuzzinin the spa area. Would choose it again
Absolutely loved my room, it was spacious and had a huge tub (my main reason for choosing it) and balcony! I also loved the eclectic interior design scheme. The staff were really lovely and welcoming. Furthermore, I loved how convenient the transport links were, especially as you can get a tram directly to the airport! It only gets 4 stars as the WiFi was only working for 1 out of the 3 days I stayed there and I couldn’t use my Roku, but the winter Olympics were on and I enjoyed watching that. I would stay here again and I would recommend!
We stayed for three nights and found the staff and hotel excellent. Service at the front desk was second to none. Very helpful with directions and suggestions for restaurants and activities around Bordeaux.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Fantastic stay! Very close to the train station (8 min walk) but not so close it's noisy. Walking distance to capucin market (5 min walk) and city center (10-15 min walk). The room was already ready when I arrived early so they let me do an early check-in, which was great to freshen up before enjoying the city. The room was spacious, clean, well-decorated, and had all the needed amenities. Hotel staff was super friendly. I will definitely come back.
A well located hotel, only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Lovely staff. More interesting than the usual chain hotels. Funky rooms with comfortable beds. Would stay again.
Trendy hotel. Good air on during heatwave. Bus stop outside, station a little down the road but away from centre. Early check in is good value. Good bakery next door for breakfast
What a gorgeous and unique hotel! Decor is amazing , great ambiance and vibe to the entire property. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and quiet. Staff is exceptional and made our stay a memorable one. Would highly recommend !
This is such a beautiful and unique property only a short tram ride from the centre of Bordeaux, but close to the train station and local shops (Spar and Boulangeries, etc).
The staff member on during the day at the front desk was amazing! Helpful, so welcoming, and made our stay.
The staff overall was so kind and we enjoyed our time in Bordeaux so much as a result.
Excellent location just not far from train station. Close to shops, restaurants and children's play areas. Had lunch in hotel restaurant and was excellent choice served by friendly gentlemen.
Fascinating and a little quirky, but in a good way. A former Natural History University building, remodelled with many references to its history. Well placed for the station and city transport and close to the Capucine Market - a must-see on your tour.
The rooms in the zoologie wing were massive as they were in the old historical building. It had bare brick walls, tall ceilings and large windows. The toilet had a quirky cistern and even though the shower room was a huge glass cubicle it didn't take up any unnecessary space. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. The bar area was large due to being in the same wing as our bedroom. Lots of light flooded the room. It had comfy colourful furniture which we used whilst waiting for our room to be ready. The location was close to the train station but not too far to the sightseeing areas of Bordeaux.
Really nice hotel, friendly staff. We were travelling by train hotel really close to station, About 30 minute walk to city centre, although not an issue for us as we like to walk and see the city and there is plenty to see whilst walking, if you don’t want to walk excellent tram service 2 streets over. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely hotel but wasn’t a fan of the location as didn’t feel particularly safe at night. One of the hotel restaurants wasn’t open so we had to eat at the expensive one instead! Breakfast was nice but again expensive for what is provided and surprised this wasn’t included in the price anyway. Generally a lovely hotel and staff were so friendly but not sure we’d stay again.
The receptionists - a lady and a gentleman - couldn’t be more helpful when my partner was unwell. They were so caring with a professional manner. We can’t thank them enough, and recommend the hotel to anyone who would like to spend a quality time in Bordeaux.
