I stayed for a night when I couldn’t face another evening staying out in a hotel near the airport. It was excellent and specially for the price (I paid €110 or so). Good bar/breakfast, warm and switched-on welcome, good room with excellent soundproofing from the outside, first rate shower. A couple of things that I assume won’t happen again, or are fixable - I did ask for a quiet room but I was right over the main hotel door so was woken early. Bit late to change by that time. And they didn’t deal well with a 9am rush for breakfast - no hot food left and the replay of the buffet a bit thin for your €20 because it wasn’t replenished quickly. But would I stay again? Yes.

Chic contemporary hotel with the best location in town! Step out and you're immediately immersed in the exciting sights, sounds and tastes of Toulouse. Step inside and you're in a peaceful and serene sanctuary! Check-in was a pleasant surprise, I got an upgrade along with a complimentary l´Occitane hand cream! The room was super spacious. The interior design evokes dreamy vibes, reminiscent of its legendary past, accentuated by wonderful soft lighting. The amenities include a Nespresso machine, complimentary water and l´Occitane products. Staff is very friendly and always smile. This was my first stay at this wonderful hotel, but definitely not my last one. A bientot!

We stayed here for a night before we flew out of Toulouse Airport. This is a lovely hotel - the staff are very friendly and efficient and helpful. The location can't be beaten. When we checked in we were told we had been upgraded. It was a very hot day and as soon as we stepped into our room it was a lovely cool quiet oasis in the middle of the busy city. The room was really large, light and airy with a beautiful bathroom and L'Occitane toiletries. We slept really well as it was so quiet and the room was so dark overnight. We didn't eat breakfast here as we had a very early flight, but the breakfast room did look really lovely. Would recommend to anyone looking for a stay in Toulouse.

Located right in the center of Toulouse where all the action is. Room was very quiet with great insulation from the street sounds below. AC works well. Our room had ample closet spaces and a nice long seating area along the entire wall that is lit up from underneath where you can place lots of your things (so convenient). What I did not like: the bathroom! It was small, and the shower (with tub) has a half-glass panel that is useless - no place to put your things. When you shower water goes all over the place!! You have to hold the shower head and aim it against the wall to try and not get water all over the floor, so it renders one hand useless. Also.... get this.... it is designed to mimic an airplane in the sense that the bathroom sink is tiny (just like an airplane sink), AND there is another standing sink (small bowl) in the room, which is also useless. WHY? The last thing I want is to leave a cramped airplane only to settle down in a hotel with the same cramped bathroom and tiny sinks with no counter space! We did not pay for breakfast, but we could see that it was an elaborate spread - so it's probably worth considering. The front desk was helpful, but not overly friendly. Oh.... here's something strange.... all the hallways on the floors are painted stark BLACK! You heard me.. everything is black, so it's very dark and bizarre, so not pleasant to walk through. AND... I asked to go to their lobby bathroom, and finding it was like going through a haunted house (no kidding). You go through some doors in lobby, and because they use motion-lighting, it's very dark at first and then you go down a staircase that opens to other doors and then through another set of doors, and everything is BLACK and dark - it was truly scary! Again... WHY? Even my husband found it scary. Overall, it was a comfortable bed and a quiet place in the heart of the action in Toulouse. …

My daughter (14) and I stayed at Le Grand Balcon for one night during a tour of France, we loved it. The location is excellent, right near the centre. Staff were attentive and the room was beautiful. A beautifully decorated hotel, designer touches but nothing to make it pretentious. I will definitely be back, next time I'll bring my husband.
