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!

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.

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).
