Located in an industrial zone, quiet at night. Room was of a decent size, clean and comfortable.

Dear Justine, thank you for leaving a comment, but we think this comment was not meant for us! Our reception is always open and we don't text instructions as the staff is physically available 24/7... :)

Lovely Stay

Posted 16 Jul 2018
Considering cost it’s very good value for money. The local area isn’t bustling but like a lot of local towns in this area it is to be expected. We stayed as part of a wedding party hired a car and found it very convenient. Staff are very accommodating and friendly, food and drinks are reasonable and there’s a lovely choice for breakfast. Rooms are clean, typical amenities but we had a studio which seemed to come with a complete kitchen which was unexpected but great. Don’t expect 5* luxury but for its standing it exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend and return again.

Lots of better choices in the Toulouse area

Posted 17 Aug 2016 on Hotels
Extremely odd location for a hotel, buried in a very strange industrial park and difficult to find.

Dear William, we are sorry to know that you did not like the hotel location. The hotel is located in a vast shopping and business area. Nonetheless, we hope that you liked the hotel itself and we would be glad to welcome you again!

Great rate, OK location, slow WiFi.

Posted 21 Aug 2015 on Hotels
Reasonable hotel but with a great rate. Restrictive and slow WiFi. Firstly, the hotel was really difficult to find. It is part of an out of town industrial estate on the outskirts of Toulouse and not immediately obvious from the road. The location was fine for our purposes but others should take note. The hotel was clean if a little worn. One slight issue was there is a particularly pervasive smell of cigarettes. The biggest issue was the WiFi. They have their own filtering services that tries to break secure/encrypted connections to websites like google. This means that your browser reports that someone is trying to hack your connections and also means that apps such as google maps, gmail and play store do not work. Additionally, if you try to use an alternative search engine such as bing, the hotel filtering service tells you that you are potentially accessing an illegal site. Even if you navigate around these issues the WiFi is very slow.

Wonderful!

Posted 21 May 2015
Pros: The staff and the room
Cons: Nothing I can think of
Location: Not much in the immediate area.
We were booking blind when we reserved our room here, and when we arrived we were more than pleasantly surprised, The room was very spacious, well decorated, and the bathroom was wonderful. Everything about this place is great, and I really enjoyed our stay. I only wish I could have stayed longer! The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Good Stopover when driving from UK to Spain

Posted 7 Aug 2013 on Hotels
A very nice, functional hotel and very good for a stopover which is half way from mid Kent en route to Alicante. It was very clean but we could not find air conditioning? However, it was not too hot in the room but would have benefited with aircon. Seemed to be plenty of places to eat locally. Would have been hard to find without a Sat Nav! WiFi was very good in the room. We are staying here again on our way back in 2 weeks.
