Came to Toulouse for teachings with Dalai Lama and chose this hotel for its proximity to the Zenith. Three other friends stayed at the same time and we each had our own apartment, consisting of bedroom, sitting/dining room, kitchen and bathroom. I also had a balcony looking out on trees, other friends overlooked the pool and the Hippodrome race course. The carpets were a bit grubby, but otherwise it was very clean. Kitchen well equipped and staff provided anything we asked for eg a corkscrew and a frying pan. Nice swimming pool open until 9pm. Convenient for access to town centre by bus, tram and metro. Staff very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here. (It is on the flight path to the airport and lots of planes passing over late afternoon/early evening in particular but not late at night.)

This is one of the most repulsive places that I have ever stayed in (short of a youth hostel when I was a kid!). The building itself is pretty filthy (tomato ketchup in the elevator, and stayed there for our entire stay!) but the apartment is a real horror-show! It smells bad (probably as it hasn't been redecorated or properly cleaned for a while, and has smoking clientele before us) and the furniture is worn and old. The carpets are full of cigarette burns and are dirty. Most disgusting was the bathroom/toilet which had walls covered in filth (even some blood stains!) and the floor had dust in the corners. Even the toilet seat was cracked and pinched your derriere whenever you sat down!

Worse of all, we had some even tickets stolen from our room (we were attending talks by the Dalai Lama and these were for those talks) and when I reported this to the reception, they were totally in denial and were disinterested. Luckily we got some replacement tickets but not until we underwent a lot of stress knowing that we had been burgled!

We had the largest and most expensive apartment and paid upfront 275 Euros for 3 nights. But we cleared out after 2 days and went to the Grand Hotel de L'Opera instead as we needed to recover from this nightmare! C'etait un cauchemar!!

To begin, this place is not a hotel as most expect. Instead, it appears to cater to long stay residents who are working, studying or training nearby---It's the sort of place I would have enjoyed residing in while at university, but not on holiday. The check in staff were nice and helpful, but beyond that, its pretty rough going. First, the place needs a thorough clean---everywhere is grubby including the dining room (school cafeteria) and the parking lot. The hostel is located DIRECTLY under the flight path for Toulouse airport, so if you're a light sleeper, forget it. The place is basically a pre-fab structure furnished with very cheap hostel furniture and fittings. Its rough and ready--and thank goodness I got a good rate for my 2 night stay...one euro extra and I would have been very very very disappointed instead of simply very disappointed.

Provided a 'value' stopover for taking in the Airbus Factory Tour the next morning. Not exactly handy to the Airbus facility as I had thought though staff were helpful albeit busy. Apartment was comfortable for our family of four. Free wi-fi is a bonus. But pack your only provisions as there is not much shooping/restaurants at walking distance.
