Verified review

8/10 Very good

On the positive side, the boutique vibe is fantastic—it feels exclusive and peaceful, and the location in Bordeaux is spot-on for walking everywhere. The staff were also super sweet and helpful throughout our stay. However, the room left a bit to be desired. We booked the Tolstoy Suite which has a beautiful terrace overlooking the pool in the courtyard , but it was blocked off and completely unusable, which was a huge letdown. Also, for a 5-star luxury hotel charging top-tier rates, simple amenities like conditioner in the shower were missing. Great location and lovely team, but a few details fell short for what we paid.

2/10 Poor

Room wasn't ready at check in, room looked nothing like pics: super low ceiling (that you could touch), mold in bathroom (no fan or window). Couldn't open curtains unless you wanted everyone from pool to see right in. Heard people at pool late into the night and then woken up each night at 6am by the roller bags going by and laundry room next to us. Gym had broken eleptical that if you tried to go on, you'd hit your head on ceiling. Then they closed the gym for a meeting, hotel guests aren't a priority. Tried to change rooms, said I'd be happy to pay for an upgrade. After a couple messages and calls we gave up. Finally talked to a manager who was very nice and said we'd get a night refunded. At checkout they didn't know how to do it, I haven't gotten anything. Stayed in 6 other hotels on this tour trip, all were wonderful. This was so disappointing all around.
