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.

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.

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.

Lovely hotel and staff but a little disappointed

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.

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.

Really stylish hotel, with a beautiful terrace restaurant, friendly staff, close to lots of good restaurants and an easy walk to the centre of Bordeaux. I think they may have taken the minimalist theme a bit far but this was fine for us for the few days we were there (nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom, no door to the shower which made it quite cold, and the floors were very slippery)

Cool, quirky hotel. The building and decor was great. Comfortable, good sized room. Breakfast was good. Didn’t eat there. We wanted to eat at the smaller bar/restaurant but it was closed. It is slightly out if the centre, about a 20 minute walk. Good team and bus connections and close to the station.
