Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel La Zoologie offers a unique experience with its cool design and charming zoology theme, a detail that many guests appreciate. The location is convenient, being close to the train station and Marché des Capucins, though some have noted the immediate surrounding area may not be the nicest. Guests often enjoy the spacious rooms, some featuring a deep soaking tub, and find the bar's cocktails fantastic; a few have mentioned the breakfast could be better stocked at times. The central garden provides a lush oasis for relaxation.

the building was beautifully refurbished, keeping some of the period style. my room was spacious, with a freestanding bath. the location offered proximity to transport options.
The soap dish in my shower had fallen off and wasn't replaced. Water pressure made filling the huge bathtub difficult.
