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.

Fascinating in a good way!

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.

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.

This hotel offers a truly unique and memorable experience, housed within a beautifully renovated ancient Faculty of Science building. Its heritage is seamlessly reflected in the contemporary decor and even the hotel's name. Our room was a comfortable size – neither overly large nor small – featuring a clever and unique transparent bathroom wall in the shower area. My personal favorite was the giant tub, easily accommodating two people for a truly relaxing bath. We particularly appreciated that all toiletries were from L'Occitane, as their delightful scents enhanced our stay, and we welcomed the perfumed Epsom salts provided for our bath soak. The complimentary spa access (available mornings and evenings without reservation) is a standout feature. The staff is exceptionally friendly and provides invaluable, personalized tips about the city, covering everything from top sightseeing spots to dining recommendations and even great "caves à vin" for tasting experiences. Beyond the rooms, the terrace, bar, and restaurant areas are beautiful and pleasant. The reception's unique hanging lights create a magical ambiance that will delight Harry Potter fans, reminding them of the Great Hall's floating candles. The only minor drawback is the location. The only minor drawback is the location. While it's a convenient 7-minute walk from the train station, the immediate area isn't the most charming and it's a bit further from the city center.

The rooms and the property are all very new. Everything is furbished using the "zoology" motif. This makes the property and the rooms very nice. The quality of the decorations and aesthetics is very high. Our room has high ceilings, great beds, really big windows and the A/C was very responsive. Everything is very very modern. Generally hotel rooms in France feel small, our room felt wonderfully spacious. The breakfast buffet (paid extra) is very nice and the staff are very attentive and serve your well. It is a 10-15 minutes Uber ride to the center of town or 30 minutes walking. Distance from Bordeaux St Jean station is 10 minutes walking. I highly recommend this hotel travelers who value the above features. If you feel that you need to be chock in the middle of the town then this is not a good option for you.

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.
