Repeatedly described as excellent/perfect/ideal for exploring Toulouse, close to center and station, walking distance to attractions — a clear strong point.

Cons:

Super odd smell in the room and the windows didn't open so we had to tough it out. I think it might have been the smell of the drain in the bathroom. Luckily we were only there one night so we only had to deal with it for a few hours and kept the bathroom door shut.

Very convenient base to explore this lovely city
Pros:

Great location, room quite spacious, very clean. Patron was very helpful.

Cons:

Other guests should note that you will need to use the stairs - a rather lovely spiral staircase, not too steep. We like to sleep with some fresh air, so there was occasional street noise and a mosquito.

On était très content, c’était un séjour très agréable. Merci beaucoup et à la prochaine fois.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut und ausreichend, und wurde vom Chef serviert. Die Lage war perfekt, direkt im Herzen von Toulouse. Gleich um die Ecke befindet sich die Bushaltestelle zum Flughafen und andere Richtungen.

Cons:

Für uns war alles perfekt. Wenn jemand gehbehindert ist, sollte man sich im Vorfeld erkundigen, da es kein Fahrstuhl gibt.
