Advantages: location location location Disadvantages: not cheap for drinks etc from the bar.
...with suggestions of what to see in the short time I was in town and also looked up the details of a rugby match I wanted to go to as well (I know I said a romantic weekend but you can't go to Toulouse when Stade Toulousain are playing at Home and miss the match).
I booked a deluxe double room and it cost 153 Euros per night for the room bed and breakfast. At check in I was upgraded to a club room (I am a priority club gold member) which enabled me to use the club lounge on the fifth floor. This opened at 6.00pm for free of charge aperitifs and some nibbles. The room was very big for a city centre hotel and had a king size bed.

That Christmas, my husband and I went to visit and we crammed as many wonderful places into our week holiday as possible. One place in particular was fascinating. This place was le city de l’espace, Toulouse. (Space City for anyone not up on the French lingo!) It was a relatively new attraction when we visited – less than a year since first opening. It was a huge place with outdoor and indoor attractions.
As it was the middle of winter (and even the south of France has a winter!) we decided to get the outdoor bit over and done with first as it was very cold and windy although the sky was clear and blue and the sun was shining. There was plenty to see and do...
