Arnaud Bernard Hotel, Toulouse

Advantages: A place to share with friends.
Disadvantages: None.

...the cheapest way of visiting this area. What is good about the area is that it is so near to so many attractions, although my week in Toulouse was barely enough time to discover all the history that the city had to offer. What makes a holiday in this region is the proximity to the mountains making a day in the ambience of mountain air and scenery a real possibility and within easy reach. Hotels are available at as little at £12 a night and I would anticipate that a person would need between £15-£20 a day to have a really good time and to be exceedingly well fed. As for shops, I was amazed to see that there are the same big chains that you find in Paris, and that they are every bit as good.

I can highly recommend it as European destination for a short (or long) break.... Read review

BMI fly in to Toulouse from Manchester so two hours after boarding the plane we had just a twenty minute (20 Euro) taxi drive from Toulouse Blagnac airport to get to the hotel. I booked using the www.ichotelsgroup.com website which is a very easy way of finding the best hotel anywhere in the world within the group (Holiday Inn, Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza). So I had read that the location for this hotel was on Place Capitole in the centre of the old town of Toulouse. What a result. We didn't hire a car because we just wanted to stay in the city centre and do the café / museum / cathedral / restaurant chill out weekend and from this hotel just a short walk to all the above was possible. One of Toulouse's best known... Read review
