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.

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.

We booked expecting a higher end boutique based on the cost. The hotel does not live up to expectations and is not a good value. I’ll offer the highlights: our room was located next to a public bathroom. Walls are thin if you understand me. There is a public courtyard that looks directly into our room. No privacy. The extra bed for my daughter was an old pull out couch. The mattress was one you would never sleep on at home. One final comical highlight…the door doesn’t lock when closed. The front desk showed us a magic trick to hold the handle and key in a certain way to get the door to lock. I never figured it out….my daughter got the hang of it eventually. Safe to say….not a good value.

Wonderful boutique hotel!

Charming converted hotel. Great service. Breakfast is served in your suite which is really convenient and adds a touch of luxury to the service. Its a boutique hotel so possesses a charm not found in chain hotels.
