Great stay with quality service

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’d love to come back! :)

We had an amazing stay at zoologie!! The room was tidy and clean, atmosphere modern and charming with historic stone walls, super tall ceilings and a gorgeous zoologie decor. The renovation of the room is nice and the bathroom is really well integrated in the design. About the amenities, unfortunately the gym was not accessible due to renovation. This would have been nice to know before booking. However, the bar and restaurant as well as common area was really nice. What we really loved, was the heartwarming care and helpfulness of the staff. Already at the check-in, the staff member helped guide around the city and took care of our belongings while we went out (we arrived before check in was possible). It was my girlfriend’s birthday and when we came back to the hotel and got our room, as we entered, there was a small gift and most thoughtful of all, a handwritten birthday card, by Jules. This kind of attention and care for guests, is rarely found anymore, and it meant the world to my girlfriend. So thanks for a really nice stay, a memorable place and first and foremost the best, most kind, attention I’ve experienced in years. Thanks again. Best wishes from Denmark :)

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)

The rooms and the property are all very new. Everything is furbished using the "zoology" motif. This makes the property and the rooms very nice. The quality of the decorations and aesthetics is very high. Our room has high ceilings, great beds, really big windows and the A/C was very responsive. Everything is very very modern. Generally hotel rooms in France feel small, our room felt wonderfully spacious. The breakfast buffet (paid extra) is very nice and the staff are very attentive and serve your well. It is a 10-15 minutes Uber ride to the center of town or 30 minutes walking. Distance from Bordeaux St Jean station is 10 minutes walking. I highly recommend this hotel travelers who value the above features. If you feel that you need to be chock in the middle of the town then this is not a good option for you.

The rooms and the overall facility had a sense of spaciousness that is not often experienced in a large urban hotel. You just felt relaxed the moment you entered.

Fantastic converted building

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!

Nice hotel, shame about the aircon

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.

Peccato per alcuni dettagli

Hotel molto bello con soluzioni di design moderne, semplici ma di elevato gusto. Non centralissimo rispetto al centro della città ma con una camminata di 20 minuti si raggiunge facilmente il centro della città. Peccato per la colazione che potrebbe e dovrebbe essere più ricca e con un servizio più accogliente. Chiusura del servizio alle 10,00 (troppo presto) e alle 9,58 già toglievano tutto. Infine una particolare nota stonata sul servizio di pulizia della camera: 1 solo flaconcino di gel doccia per 2 persona e per 3 gg; il primo giorno ho trovato una ragnatela in un angolo e la sera nello stesso angolo ho ritrovato una mia maglietta!!! L'ultimo giorno non sono stati cambiati gli asciugamani e mancava il tappetino. Insomma un peccato per un albergo molto particolare e davvero molto bello e nuovo.

Trendy hotel. Good air on during heatwave. Bus stop outside, station a little down the road but away from centre. Early check in is good value. Good bakery next door for breakfast

Lovely hotel and staff but a little disappointed

Lovely hotel but wasn’t a fan of the location as didn’t feel particularly safe at night. One of the hotel restaurants wasn’t open so we had to eat at the expensive one instead! Breakfast was nice but again expensive for what is provided and surprised this wasn’t included in the price anyway. Generally a lovely hotel and staff were so friendly but not sure we’d stay again.

Das erste Zimmer war nicht richtig gereinigt. Uns wurde dann ein anderes Zimmer angeboten welches etwas sauberer war. Jedoch war auch hier der Auflageteppich sehr dreckig. (Staub, Haare) Wenn man nicht die Vorhänge zieht, sieht ein anderer Teil des Hotel einem von nahe ins Zimmer, inkl. Glasdusche. Wenn man die Vorhänge zieht wirkt dann das ganze Zimmer sehr düster. Das Bett war dafür bequem, aber mit dem besagten Vorhang kann man das Zimmer nicht vollständig Verdunkeln. Spa für Hotelgäste nur zu Randzeiten nutzbar ohne eine separate kostenpflichtige Buchung einer Behandlung zu tätigen. Das Hotel hätte viel Potential, der Versuch der Themensetzung ansich gelungen.

Fascinating in a good way!

Fascinating and a little quirky, but in a good way. A former Natural History University building, remodelled with many references to its history. Well placed for the station and city transport and close to the Capucine Market - a must-see on your tour.
