Very clean hotel and convenient to the train station. It is a short walk to the city center and lots of places to eat nearby. There were some homeless congregating out front across the street but I did not find it an unsafe area to stay. The bathroom was clean and fairly spacious - it actually has a bidet along with a separate little room for the toilet. It had a hair dryer. There was an air conditioner and TV that worked. The room had separate beds. A bit more expensive room in the back looked out over a nice courtyard area. The room facing the canal also faces the road - with the window open it is loud but when the double panes are closed it is very quiet. The breakfast room was nice but I did not get breakfast when I was there. The staff was very friendly. There was a working elevator (lift). I made reservations at booking.com - no problems.

Hotel D'Orsay is located directly opposite the main railway station so is very handy if you dont know the area. Although there are a few restaurants etc around the hotel it is about 5 or 10 minutes walk into the main part of Toulouse and there are hotels that are more convenient for the attractions. Reception staff were helpful and very pleasant. The room was on the small side but clean. Stopped two nights in a double room costing 112 euros, 56 per night. It seemed that this was the standard cost rising as the season kicks in. There are no real facilities in the place, ie a bar or lounge but that wasnt an issue for us; but might be for others. Breakfast is an additional 7 euros per person and we had it one day. It was hardly worth it; no help yourself, just one roll and one croissant on a tray with jams etc but no cheese or meats. Located in the same block as the hotel is a sex shop..see photo and there were a few others at the road on the side of the hotel into town. If this offends you then there are several other roads into Toulouse that dont have these establishments. Overall this is a basic hotel not more than 2 star. Beware of the pricing arrangements; the prices vary according to room; one says overlooking garden and the other is overlooking canal. We opted for the later but the hotel was across a busy road...see photo

What a little gem! OK so it just another two star city hotel when you come across it on the internet. The rooms are simple but are spotlessly clean and tidy. The staff are the real joy of this hotel. They are so helpful and friendly. The level of service is what I'd hope for if I stayed in a 5 star hotel. For the traveller on a budget this hotel must represent the best value in Toulouse. Its location is excellent for the city centre, railway and bus stations. It is also easy to access the hotel from the airport by use of the airport bus service. I give this hotel my highest recommendation

We stayed at the Hotel D'Orsay for 4 nights in August. The rooms we found very cramped and the bathroom facilities lacking with onlly a hand held shower and a seperate toilet imediately next door to the bedroom.The air conditioning however was very effective.The Hotel boasts a garden but unfortunately there is no seating area in the garden which is a shame as it would have been nice to be able to actually enjoy the space and perhaps even have your breakfast outdoors. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was adequate but after 4 monings of a croissant and a plain breadroll it did become a little monotonous. .The location was a good 10 minute walk to the centre. If you turned left immediately out of the hotel and walked to the centre this was rather a shabby road with many tramps and rather seedy looking cafes at first but the scenery improves as you continue on.. This however is the better route into and out of town at night time. We made the mistake of returning to the hotel from the opposite direction and had to pass by a couple of prositutes and transvestites who although did not threaten us, I think people would children or older couples may find a little intimidating.
