Great location, friendly staff and comfortable.

Really great location for the hotel, we arrived at night so wasn’t the easiest to find straight away. Easy to get to everywhere either on tram or walking, great food locally. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful, we were unsure whether the hotel had a restaurant as we were never told about it asked so maybe they didn’t. However we forgot our plug converters and the staff were able to lend us two plugs which was excellent. The room was lovely, not a great view out of the window, looking directly at another wall but it was nice. The only thing we thought was that the bed was made for us but not changed, we understand for the environment bedding but not be changed everyday however staying 5 days for the cost we paid the bedding should have been changed, especially the pillows. Having said that we would stay again at the hotel and we would highly recommend it for location, friendliness of staff and comfort.

Freezing room with unproper heating system. Front desk was supposed to be staffed until 7pm, nobody there after 2 pm. Calls to the number provided and messages to the whatsapp contact provided by the property were never answered. You need to have the basics covered if you want to be a hotel, let alone a "boutique" hotel. Avoid like the plague.

Charming and very comfortable, our room had a balcony, a fantastic shower, and wonderful bedding and pillows. The only note is that the exposed beams and sloping ceiling could pose a challenge for the extra tall.

The hotel exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend. Staff went above and beyond in every way. The room aesthetic was beautiful, comfortable bed, great shower and towels, convenient kitchenette area. Only drawback was there is no onsite parking. Parking garage located about 5 min walk.

We did like the hotel, but our room had a bad small that lasted the duration of our stay (2 days) and seemed to be only in our room (not in the corridor) it seemed like a sewage smell or mouse trap. It was unfortunate as the hotel, staff and location were great otherwise.

This is a special property. High end boutique, personalized concierge service 24/7. Quiet property that is an oasis after walking around Bordeaux with lots of people in the streets. Rooms and suites are modernized and everything works. Really comfortable beds - I slept like a baby. Centrally located for easy access to transportation or walking to all the sights. The only suggestion I would have is for the hotel to put in a common area where one can relax outdoors with a bottle of wine. Otherwise, everything was great. I highly recommend this hotel.

Good location, well styled, friendly staff

Staff were accommodating, although the local knowledge lacked when we were advised to leave the city centre for our restaurant reservations (it was actually a 10min walk from the hotel). The bathroom was small, and requires some maintenance particularly around the shower seals. The room we were allocated had no option for privacy when setting up for breakfast which was an uncomfortable ‘dance’ between us and the staff. The room itself is well styled, clean, and with aircon. The hotel is well located.
