Hotel ibis budget Toulouse Centre Gare (Toulouse, France)

Many guests spoke highly of the customer service, describing members of staff as welcoming, obliging and friendly with good local knowledge.

This hotel's location beside the picturesque Canal du Midi World Heritage Site was a hit with travellers as there were dining options plus train and metro stations nearby and it was an easy walk to the heart of the historic city centre. Moreover, there was quick and easy access to the Toulouse ring road for getting to area attractions, beauty spots and the Spanish border. Motorists welcomed the convenient free parking and proximity of fuel stations.

The usually affordable rates were attractive to budget-conscious travellers, who often remarked that this hotel offered fair value for money with its modernized, clean, cleverly-designed and comfortable rooms that were fine for a shorter stay. There was also praise for the way some rooms enjoyed lovely city views, especially on the upper floors.

When fully occupied, some of the rooms were a bit cramped, according to several reviewers. Furthermore, the layout and design wasn't to all guests' liking. A few critics felt their rooms could have been more thoroughly cleaned to remove dust. Moreover, noise from connecting rooms and corridors was sometimes audible and caused a nuisance for several light sleepers, who blamed thin walls for their plight.

Many diners were keen on the convenient, affordable and plentiful self-service breakfast option. However, when the hotel was busy the dining room was prone to becoming chaotic.

The free Wi-Fi was a bonus for visitors. Nevertheless, some critics claimed the network speeds were sluggish at times or that the signal was spotty in places.
