Hotel was a little tricky to find but once found and we checked in the room is very small. I booked for 4 adults (queen bed and a pull out sofa) - if i knew the sofa was right at the ground i would have booked a separate room. I had to ask staff 3 times for the extra 2 pillows as the sofa bed had nothing. When you enter the room you walk into the kitchenette. Small bar fridge was handy. Laundry was good but coin operated and was down a set of stairs. Breakfast was nice.

This hotel is not for everyone. The hotel occuplies part of a huge former industrial building in a neighborhood with not much else. It is far from the center of town, but not more than about a 15-minute ride on the excellent nearby tram. A little hard to find without a map app. Nothing to walk to, except a couple of small bar-type cafes with interesting features (one had a climbing wall; the other actual water surfing). The hotel bustles with young people and a very good front desk staff. Kind of fun, once we got used to the uniqueness of the experience.

The room was adequate, but very small and not particularly well lit. There was the advertised kitchenette (a small fridge and two-burner stove), but not really suitable for real cooking and no nearby market. The bathroom was small, but fine, with nice shower pressure. No room cleaning or towel changes, so not particularly suited for a long stay.

Altogether, we're happy we decided to continue with our 3-day reservation to stay there, but would probably not choose the experience, if we come to Bordeaux again.
