Great stay with quality service
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.

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.

We had issues with the WiFi which really negatively impacted our stay, as I was working and had to go to a cooking space nearby to have reliable internet.
Otherwise great food and design of the space. If not for the WiFi, I’d rate 5 stars.

The hotel is overall nice - nice building and service. However, it is not disclosed during the booking that they charge extra €25 for using their SPA and you’ll have to book in advance. Also the showeroom in the room is transparent so if you’re travelling with you friend, it’s a bit embarrassing

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)

This property was misrepresented in the Expedia description. It was a 35 to 40 minute walk to get anywhere. We like to walk but the street we walked on left a little to be desired. Also with weather being what it was we wanted to take a cab to dinner but were quoted 50 euros just to get there. The restaurant is nice but the menu is very limited and there are not many places that I would recommend near there. Rooms were laid out funny with a bathtub and the shower, sink, etc, right in the middle of the room. Way too expensive for the quality of the hotel and particularly the location.

An excellent one-of-its-kind choice
Spacious and eclectically laid-out room in a former university lab building. Excellent food options. Extremely child friendly. Close to the train station but farther from the center of town.

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.
