Très bel hôtel j'ai hâte d'y retourner
Ma chambre était grande propre bien équipée.
On m'a accueillie au beau milieu de la nuit suite au retard de mon train le personnel est vraiment gentil. Le resto au rooftop est très bien et la vue est magnifique. Cependant j'ai entendu des propos très désobligeants de la part du 'manager" du resto envers les employées fémines. Ça m'a beaucoup dérangée, je ne suis plus retournée au restaurant pour le reste de mon séjour.

Of the four hotels we stayed during our holiday in France, this one was the absolute best! I highly recommend this LGBTQ friendly property. It is so much fun and the rooftop bar is a must! The rooms are super spacious (I know… this is a hotel in Bordeaux!) and the bed so comfortable. The mirrors and bed all light up to making it extra cool!

Cute hotel! Lovely bar and fun decor. Wouldn’t stay there again because the area it is in is a bit sketchy (the street specifically) and the only view options are 2 buildings straight across from you on both sides .

A nice place. Right in the middle of the best walkable area of the city. Desk open 24 hours for check-in is a plus. Good friendly rooftop bar.
