The receptionists - a lady and a gentleman - couldn’t be more helpful when my partner was unwell. They were so caring with a professional manner. We can’t thank them enough, and recommend the hotel to anyone who would like to spend a quality time in Bordeaux.

We had issues with the WiFi which really negatively impacted our stay, as I was working and had to go to a cooking space nearby to have reliable internet. Otherwise great food and design of the space. If not for the WiFi, I’d rate 5 stars.

The hotel is overall nice - nice building and service. However, it is not disclosed during the booking that they charge extra €25 for using their SPA and you’ll have to book in advance. Also the showeroom in the room is transparent so if you’re travelling with you friend, it’s a bit embarrassing

Really stylish hotel, with a beautiful terrace restaurant, friendly staff, close to lots of good restaurants and an easy walk to the centre of Bordeaux. I think they may have taken the minimalist theme a bit far but this was fine for us for the few days we were there (nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom, no door to the shower which made it quite cold, and the floors were very slippery)

Only problem is the shower area which has transparent glass around it, and so you can easily be seen by people looking into the room from outside. Also not great when you have your daughter and son staying together in one room as we had. A bit of a design flaw.

Spacious and eclectically laid-out room in a former university lab building. Excellent food options. Extremely child friendly. Close to the train station but farther from the center of town.

For a 4 star accommodation I expected so much more , help with the luggage upon entrance would be helpful and a thorough introduction of the services and amenities by the FO staff , I went in the room and didnt know how to find the room numbers til i looked down and saw on the floor , they didnt tell how to contact the FO for any questions, let alone a briefing on how to turn on the lights. Tired from a trip , i would have expected a 4 star to be easy to settle in . Location is also a bit unsafe for its price , staff at the restaurant was good and the food as well.

Really nice hotel, friendly staff. We were travelling by train hotel really close to station, About 30 minute walk to city centre, although not an issue for us as we like to walk and see the city and there is plenty to see whilst walking, if you don’t want to walk excellent tram service 2 streets over. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay here. The décor is brilliant being converted from a former university zoology building. Breakfast is buffet style with a great selection. We had one meal in the restaurant also which was extremely good. Our room did not have a balcony but there was a shared terrace just outside our door which we sat and ate breakfast on a couple of mornings. The staff speak good English and were happy to help with any questions we had. There is a fixed rate taxi service to the airport if booked through reception which was handy with a 7am flight back!

I loved my stay at the hotel. Super friendly staff, I felt really well taken care of and the property itself is unique. This might be one of the best places I have stayed. Some of the fasciitis’s were a new experience to me and it’s definitely worth trying it out. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to try out the spa but the ambiance of the hotel is so serene it almost feels like a spa :)

We absolutely loved the whole vibe of this hotel. The check in staff were so lovely and kind! Unfortunately, we had a little mouse visitor on our balcony when we first arrived and when we were moved to another room, that one was not clean (dirty boot prints in the shower, the robes and towels were in disarray, and a smell like someone recently used the toilet). The third room was perfect until we found that the robes and slippers we’d been told to use for the spa had large dark brown rust marks on them. Aside from the lengthy and difficult check in, the hotel was great! Not a terribly far walk from anything and again the ladies at the front desk in the day were excellent.

We only spent one night here (wish it could've been longer). We opted for a deluxe room and really enjoyed it. Lovely balcony, bath in the room, beautiful decor... what more could a person want? The service was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. If ever we return to Bordeaux, this will be the place we stay.

This is a boutique hotel set up for people who like visiting the spa and tranquil music playing throughout the hotel. It is situated near a park and a local Bordeaux neighborhood. The food offered is French, being one is in France one should accommodate the custom not themselves. The food is lunch with vegetarian options from 12-2:30 and then dinner and you can get small plates in the bar. The bar is open and serves food and light snacks all day. Those on this review thread who said they could not get their “sandwiches” are better off staying at the Marriott. The music in the bar goes perfectly well with the high end boutique culture the hotel is opting for.

Hotel looks great and the rooms are comfortable as well as spacious. Sadly the aircon broke in the middle of the night sending the temperature up beyond tolerable so we had to change rooms at 2am. There was no one on reception when we complained for 20 minutes so the stay was very much marred by this. Otherwise the hotel would have been great.

Initial great impression. Friendly welcome and drink at bar while we waited for the room. Room impressive with quirky decor and decent shower. Had a hanging rail for shirts but nothing for dresses but I managed to improvise using a coat stand. Nice big comfortable bed. Room overlooked the garden area and it was quite noisy at times (music playing in the morning/afternoon) so we had to keep the window shut. We planned to sit in the garden but it seems this is the restaurant. Lunch was from a limited menu. We wanted something light like a baguette but this was not available and the options were expensive. Location is on the edge of the main town with longish walks to get anywhere. We thought staff were a bit mercurial. One night there clear tension with glasses being slammed around & felt a bit uncomfortable. Overall conclusion, nice property, comfortable stay. We didn’t use the spa so may have missed out on the wow factor.

Enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Zoologie as the design, furnishings and garden spaces are excellent. The hotel is very well located close to the station, the surrounding area is vibrant but not within the main tourist area and some caution is advisable. Check in was excellent and room presented well. The negatives are there is no fridge in the room and during our stay water was not provided. The quality of the bar drinks are excellent but service can be slow and the price expensive for a 4 star offer. The spa is not free access and the information on this confusing. Overall though very good hotel and experience which with minor improvements to service standard could be easily improved.

I'm a frequent traveler and I have to say this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in around the world. The experience is carefully curated from the moment you arrive at the front desk. All of the staff is superb and highlight several points of service. The property is beautiful and well suited for a getaway. You'll actually find it difficult to leave because it is do comfortable and the food is excellent. I cannot wait to return in the future.
