Hôtel Le Père Léon

Everything; location is amazing; walking distance to all main attractions; no need to spend money on transport. Young ladies at the reception desk were very helpful, friendly, polite and professional. The hotel's location is on the main road, which is very convenient for female solo travellers returning back to the room later in the evening. No noise from the street was heard in the room. Next to the hotel is a supermarket and lots of take away restaurants. Breakfast is a continental buffet, but i found it very good for €10 which you pay additionally. For me, this hotel could easily be a 4-star hotel. Metro is in front of the hotel; 3 stops to the train station. Or 2 stops to the station where a shuttle bus goes to the airport (1/2 to airport by shuttle). Otherwise, a taxi ordered from the hotel to the airport is €38; no need for it at all. Next to the hotel is a brassery; they have cassoulet; very tasty, traditional meal, huge portions; 2 people can easily share it. Overall, clean, comfortable, safe hotel, with very convenient location.

It is a bit pricey, but for the above benefits; it is definitely worth it.

The location is excellent if you enjoy being in the middle of everything! The sound proofing in the rooms is very good so you can't hear a thing from the busy streetlife or traffic outside. Very comfortable beds and good lighting in the room. At least, the corner room has a bathroom separated with opal glass walls in the room (no sound proof, for example) - this was ok for us, being an established couple, but might be disturbing for other types of companies. The city is beautiful full with many cultural interests even in walking distance and going around with citybikes is cheap, easy and wonderful - especially along Canal du midi. All kinds of shopping just steps away from your door! The hotel staff is lovely and warmest thanks to them all for bearing up with us practising our skills in French! Breakfast is served in a small room which felt a bit cramped at busy times but is so well-organised it didn't bother. Breakfast included a few options of yogurt, fresh fruit salad and whole fruit, boiled eggs and of course tasty, fresh baguette in addition to the normal continental breakfast. Also, a nice variety of tea is offered and home baked cake or pie. Warmest regards to the lovely 'breakfast lady'! We'll be coming back!

The only negative aspect of the location are the gloomy people outside; they have camped themselves right in front of the hotel with big dogs. Nothing happened to us but sometimes it all felt a bit threatening.

The staff and location were great. Very helpful and accomodating to questions and needs. It was close to underground and everything we needed. Convenience store was handy. A nice walk to the river and either sides of the town hall.

The room was small. The bathroom configuration with the door opening out onto bedroom was awkward. There was not enough desk/ shelf space to put belongings. The noise from the laneway downstairs was such that we had to close the window night and morning for a peaceful sleep.

The bedroom and bathroom were a good size with a double-size shower (although no bidet, which is common in French hotels and different to Italy where we live ). the reception staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was excellent, with an underground Metro stop right outside and just a very short walk to the river and the main square ( Capitole ). A late night supermarket and McDonalds were also right next door. ( But see below also for this. )

Because of the late night McDonalds and supermarket some people might not be comfortable with the kind of " night-life " that can sometimes be associated with this, but this is a minor issue in the overall positive nature of the hotel and it's location and we would certainly return to this hotel in the future.

The single room was small yet well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and a bathroom. Everything seemed to be clean. I also liked that the room had a small electric kettle for making tea and coffee, although I would have enjoyed a greater variety of teas (no green tea was on offer), and personally would appreciate a nice big mug rather than single-use cardboard cups. Although my room was facing the street, it was quiet, and I did not hear much noise from other rooms either. The staff was always very friendly and nice, making me feel welcomed.

Very centrally located to reach any area in town, clean, simple and somewhat on the smaller side but great for a couple of nights. Polite staff.

Being so central means that it is not fully quiet, especially in summer when the young Toulousains spend the night drinking on the Garonne. Also, get ready to be waken up by the street cleaning in the early morning.

Convenient location for exploring the city. Room clean and functional. Nice to be able to open the window (even on 5th floor). Some english speaking tv channels. Check out at 12 useful. Receptionists friendly and helpful. Starbucks opposite to grab a tea and coffee first thing in morning.

Bathroom not fully separate from bedroom. Bar attached to the hotel closed early. People milling around the Metro entrance opposite the hotel a little intimidating.

When I entered the room for the first time, I had a very pleasant surprise. A room not very big, but well arranged to make you feel relaxed, minimalist but chic furniture, a spacious bathroom where everything seemed recently renovated. Two things were exceptional: the very pleasantly cool atmosphere in the room (it was 35-36 degrees outside) and the fact that there was no street noise, the room facing the main street. Everything very clean. The breakfast was very good. The staff at the reception was very kind, I received a lot of suggestions for visiting the city and not only that. Thanks to the entire staff.

The rooms and bathroom were more spacious than expected. They seem to have been recently renovated. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom contained a large tub for soaking, if desired. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was very close to the Capitole, as well as to many other sights of interest, particularly the Carmes market area. The staff quickly responded to all messages, and was able to change our rooms upon late request, and to keep our rooms together, also per request. Paid parking was available just a short distance away. We will certainly stay there again.

It was difficult to drop off our suitcases as there is no where to stop a car near the front of the hotel; however the parking was not far away.

The hotel is situated in a busy square with a metro station and buses but nonetheless was extremely quiet. The room was a bit small but that is often the case with city hotels. The bathroom was more than adequate for three of us sharing the room.

Each bed had a long pillow and a square pillow. The long one was a bit hard. An electric kettle was provided but the choice of tea or coffee was very limited. However there is a Monoprix next door and we were soon able to purchase milk and we had English tea bags with us. (This criticism only applies as we are English and like our traditional cup of tea!)
