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.

Such a unique hotel in the old Faculty of Sciences building for Zoology and Geology. We had a comfort room which had a gorgeous free-standing bath in the room itself and a powerful shower and separate basin area (this is glass screened and so you should be comfortable with your room buddy!) There's lovely little nods to its history with animals on the curtains and different flora / fauna on the tiling. Separate bathroom. The spa on the basement level has a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna which you can make use of between 8am and 11am and 8pm and 10pm without booking. Comfy robes and slippers were provided in the room. WiFI is good and work space in the room was handy for our day working. It's well-situated a short walk from the St Jean station and ~10 mins the other direction into the main town (really enjoyed nearby Marche des Capuchins for breakfast/lunch options). We didn't have the breakfast in the hotel itself as preferred to explore. Really friendly staff and we paid €40 for a 4pm check-out on our last day.

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.

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)
