studio cocoon BORDEAUX Chartrons/ Jardin Public

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “studio cocoon” in the name, I was expecting something tiny and cramped. But this little place on Rue Saint-Hubert actually lives up to its cozy promise in the best way possible. You’re right in the heart of Chartrons, which honestly might be my favorite part of Bordeaux now. It’s got that perfect mix of residential calm and urban convenience that’s hard to find.

The studio itself is smartly designed – I mean, they’ve clearly thought about how real people actually use a space. Everything has its place without feeling sterile or overly designed. What really won me over was stepping outside in the morning. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Jardin Public, and I found myself grabbing coffee and heading there almost every day. The park’s got this lovely old-school French garden vibe, perfect for morning runs or just sitting with a book. And here’s something the guidebooks don’t tell you – the Saturday morning market along the Chartrons waterfront is incredible. Fresh oysters, local cheeses, that whole scene. You’ll stumble onto it just by wandering toward the river.

The neighborhood’s got character too. Rue Saint-Hubert itself is quiet enough that you won’t deal with street noise (always a concern in city centers), but you’re still walking distance to the antique shops and wine bars that make Chartrons special. Actually, there’s this little wine bar called Le Flacon that’s maybe three blocks away – locals hang out there, not tourists, and they know their Bordeaux wines obviously. The tram’s right there too if you want to head into the main city center, though honestly I found myself staying in the area more than I expected. Oh, and parking – if you’re driving, there are spots on the street, but like anywhere in Bordeaux, you’ll want to get there early or be prepared to circle a bit.

What struck me most was how the place manages to feel both intimate and functional. You know those places that look great in photos but then you realize there’s nowhere to put your suitcase? Not an issue here. The 9.1 rating makes sense – it’s not trying to be a luxury hotel, but it absolutely nails what it is trying to be. Perfect for couples or solo travelers who want to feel like they’re living in Bordeaux rather than just visiting it.

Reviews

• Everything was cozy and comfortable and we would definitely stay again. The ceilings are low but the host does point th – Josephine from Canada – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  The host was responsive and helpful. There is a guest book with lots of helpful information. It is within walking distance to the waterfront, public gardens, and other tourist sites worth seeing, The host gave us an address for a grocery store nearby and there are a few nice restaurants. Comfortable bed and pillows. The deliciously fresh croissants and fruit for breakfast were appreciated. There were little treats to welcome you like a dish of fruity candy and dark chocolate, single serving-size cake and brownie, water, juice, and milk in the fridge.
  
  What could be improved: We could not get the dishwasher started but we didn’t mind washing our dishes by hand as there was soap, sponge, and dish towel provided. There was a heatwave in Bordeaux during our stay so the air conditioner worked overtime and on day three started to leak and had to be turned off in order to defrost the ice buildup. Just glad it was the last day because it would have been a sauna without it.

• Short weekend in Bordeaux!! – Mister from Spain – 14 April 2025 (9/10)

  The host is super nice, good English speaker, the flat is really close to the centre and easy to reach even by car. Calm area no noises. Everything was clean and comfortable, the bed included, it has all necessary for a few days. Really convenient garage for the car in the same street, important to save a place in advance. Just be careful if u rent and u r tall (plus 180cm), because the ceiling is not high, it is a bit uncomfortable but it was nice anyway.

  The cleanest and cutest home I ever stayed till now! Little but perfectly set up with everything you could need, good quality and new kitchen's appliances, bathroom spacious and well organized and mattress not too soft, the perfetc medium hardness to be comfotable for the back.
  I love the church's bell which appears from the window on the roof! Position is perfect to reach the city centre walking or by tram, and Chartrons district, where it's located, is so charming.

• Best apartment ever! – Zala from Slovenia – 15 September 2023 (10/10)

  We liked absolutely everything about the property! Incredible host, amazing apartment, and great location. Everything was very clean and well maintained, the street and building are so charming! There was also a tray of goods we could help ourselves to (e.g. coffee, biscuits…), which even further showed how thoughtful the host is.
