The staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us a map and directions to use the tram. We enjoyed the bar/lounge. The bartender was exceptional and was entertaining to watch him create the cocktails. He had such pride in creating the perfect cocktails. We would stay there again just to have him create a drink for us. We also appreciated the Central location of the hotel

Cute boutique hotel in excellent location for sightseeing. Uber driver struggled to find location at arrival as it was on a small side street from pedestrian plaza and we ended up being dropped off and had to find hotel ourselves, but hotel called taxi for us on departure and they were able to pick up at the front door. Room was small but clean. Air conditioning in room kept up with the 100+ degree heatwave which was a big relief. Appreciated the breakfast option. Has a small elevator to assist with getting luggage to upper floors. Would recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful historic building in the heart of Bordeaux. We had been traveling for 24 hours and were exhausted when we arrived. The lovely young lady at check-in upgraded our room! The room was spotless and the bed so comfortable. We just stayed overnight before our river cruise and will be staying again at the end of the cruise. We look forward to another stay. I highly recommend this property.
