Arrived at the car park and no one would answer the door. Had to walk up to reception only for them to say “oh yeah the phone was off” with no apology. The room is your most standard average hotel, pillows are less comfortable than lying on a folded piece of A4 and can’t say much for the bed itself. Hotel has a pool yes but the area around it is tiny. There was about 10 people there when we arrived and not much space, especially considering it is barely shaded from the sun at all. You can tell this property is in need of a refresh generally. Peeling paint, balconies covered in bird droppings and cobwebs, the AC may as well have been off for all it did to clean the room. Overall as enjoyable as a Novotel can be, if your idea of enjoyable is just a solid 3/10.

Bedrooms could do with cooler air conditioning and more plug sockets, but great hotel otherwise and will stay here again

Lovely stay during the May heatwave at this hotel. The hotel reception is chic and staff friendly particularly Victoria who gave us lots of advice on walks and local points of interest as well as serving drinks and sorting breakfast.
The only downside was the air conditioning that couldn’t cope with the 35 degree days but the fresh pool overlooking the Japanese gardens was just what was needed after mornings sightseeing.
A lovely stay for a great price and thank you Victoria and all of the rest of the staff for making our stay special.

Considering everything, I would rate my stay at the Novotel, Toulouse a very satisfying one. The staff were very accommodating and incredibly friendly ( kudos to Kevin, Luca and Ryan ).The room was spacious,spotless, and comfortable and crisp bed sheets too!The metro is very accessible from this location-just 2 stops to the city center. Only minor issues were the pillows being too small and the quality of some of the furnishings was a bit chintzy to my liking-but that's a personal preference🙏♥️👍

Not the best experience

Our room did not have a desk or chair; just a bed and a single couch. I guess they did not have them because the room was too small. I know that other rooms had desks and chairs. All the rooms were booked so we were out of luck to change rooms. When I asked for a small portable desk and chair so that we can do some work in the room (we had to do confidential online meetings) , we were told that this was not possible. While I was kindly discussing our options with one receptionist, another one came and acted all weird. She was rather rude. So I gave up discussing our options as it was no use. We ended up staying there, but it was not a good experience. On top of this, the restaurant was not at all accommodating for dietary restrictions. This is not surprising in France, as they don’t understand the concept of dietary restrictions in most places outside Paris, but I was expecting at least some effort. Nothing was offered. Breakfast was also rather poor. In the land of cheese, they had only one type that was not particularly good. We ended up skipping the breakfast even though we paid for it as part of the room cost. Perhaps others had better experience with this hotel, but we thought we made a mistake. We chose it because it was close to the convention center, but we should have stayed near the center of the city where all the action takes place. This location is rather far to the good restaurants, etc. Overall, we did not have a great experience.

The hotel does need a concierge to assist visitors with questions about the area and with helping set up activities.
Our room was overly warm even with the AC turn down to the coldest it would go. We had to ask for a fan. The bathroom sink stopper would not stay in the open position and the water did not drain well. Just washing your hands could cause an overflow.

The hotel has a lot of potential (next to a very nice park and close to the city centre), but very outdated. Just some of many specific issues we experienced:
- very small rooms (especially if travelling with small kids)
- not clean + not cleaning rooms properly
- quite outdated interior
- very hot, no AC
- beds, pillows, sheets all need a refresh
- employees should be much friendlier. They are not rude, but need to learn basics: hello, good day, yes of course, goodbye etc
- the whole hotel needs a renovation

As expected for a Novotel hotel, clean, well-organized, restaurant, pool, service, and personnel. Our only concern was the exterior appearance of the property from the front. Upon arrival from the airport, it does not look very inviting. Overgrown weeds, and a dirty appearance, we were not sure if it was the right place until we saw the Novotel hotel signs. This REALLY needs to be worked on.

The inside of this hotel is what you would expect from a Novotel, for the most part. Our room wasn't very big, but it was totally fine. Staff were friendly. However, the immediate vicinity of the hotel appears to be falling into some disrepair. We weren't sure where to park, and ended up parking in a public lot below the hotel. The next morning we found the window of our car broken and some items stolen - not a fun way to end a vacation. In the morning, we noticed a sign in the elevator warning guests not to park there, but we hadn't see it the] night before because we arrived late and were tired. Also, no one mentioned specific hotel parking when we arrived. If you stay here, just be warned to avoid the public parking lot.

The pool was quiet and sometimes we had it to ourselves, we opted to have dinner at the hotel one lunch and this was a fantastic buffet. The brunch was also delicious on the weekend. The staff were so helpful and let us have a late check out as our flight had been delayed until 23:00. Definitely would come back, great location to get to the main streets of Toulouse too.

Excellent customer service let down by facilities

We had a 2 night stay at Novotel Toulouse. The room we were given looked tired and dated. The A.C. wasn't working properly which was a concern due to hot weather. When raised concerns with staff they attended to it promptly and changed our room. The whole building needs an upgrade and seems to have various issues. Location is good close to The Capitole. The staff from house keeping to front office were excellent, very helpful and friendly. They really try to and do make up for the cons of the hotel. The pool was good for the kids but again in need of a good clean and an upgrade I think. Breakfast was good and had a good choice. Overall a very pleasent stay.

Typical Novotel

Fine hotel, breakfast was very basic though. Hardly any selection - I'm baffled by a previous reviewer saying 'best buffet breakfast ever'. I chose this hotel simply as it had a pool, the pool is right next to the restaurant though so not very private when sun baking. The hotel itself is 15 minute walk from Toulouse centre, so not hugely central if that's important. My room at 4pm one day still hadn't had house keeping through, and when they finally came at 5pm, they didn't replenish soaps etc, which was frustrating. Also, the shower leaked - the bathrooms were rather dated. All in all, a perfectly fine hotel and the staff were lovely but probably more a 3 star, than 4 star property.

Not the best that I have stayed in Toulouse area

The room could have done with a make over but it was ok. Checked in freshened up and noticed that the sink waste was leaking. So went down to reception. I was expecting that I would be offered another room as the hotel was not busy. Instead girl from reception took me back up to my room to see the problem. I showed her the water dripping onto the floor under the sink. She said that as I was staying one night that it would be ok. As an after thought she said that I could move rooms if I really wanted to. Guess the look on my face gave her the prompt to offer a room change. I did decide to change rooms as I did not want to wash my feet and clean my teeth at the same time. Free WiFi performance was dire but you can pay to upgrade. This is France so no English TV channels. A few restaurants close by the hotel but don't forget that most don't open until 8pm. Found a great little bar with a happy hour and 15 types of burgers so eat here as we were hungry and it was 6:30pm. I will not stay here again as the price was good but it did not feel comfortable.

Nice Hotel.Close to Park and most cool things.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They will answer all questions you have. It is a very secured building. If you come back after hours you will have to use a buzzer for a hotel staff to let you in.

Overall I'd say the room was clean and comfortable. It was very easy to walk to most attractions. Hotel is located about 20 mins walk to the City Center/Capital were some of the shopping happens. You can take a bus there as well but the walk is pretty cool and you can stop for a beer or coffee on the way.

There is also a grocery store(carefour) about 5mins walk from the hotel...And a Japanese style park literally behind the hotel.

My only negative thing is that it is hard to find if it is your first time in toulouse and you're using public transportation from the airport. The bus will stop at the Campas Caffarely stop but you may need to walk 5 mins to the hotel-you can just ask somebody how to get there...but once you find where it is. it is actually not that bad.

So I'll recommend for the staff, room, location & maybe price(depending on how you book it)

Still waiting for iron and board

This hotel caters to business people coming to Toulouse, but amazingly it doesn't provide an iron nor an ironing board in the room. That's not usually a problem in most hotels since you can ask for one and they'll bring it to your room. I asked as soon as I arrived and several times after as I needed it badly to be presentable for a meeting the next day. It never arrived, and the staff was remarkably unhelpful aside from telling me none were available. It's not a huge deal, but on a business trip this is a fairly important amenity. This annoyance aside, this hotel serves its purpose, it's starting to show its age but it is functional and comfortable enough.

Good location, but close to all amenities.

Good location out of the centre of the town, but only 15 minutes walk.
close to metro.
Pool area rather small, but good for dip on a hot day.
Rather attracts families with children at this time of year.

Extremely disappointing

We booked an executive room with a balcony, but the balcony was unusable due to it being covered in pigeon excrement. It was impossible to sit on the balcony due to the number of pigeons landing on the floor, walls, and table.

Pigeons were walking around inside the hotel around the breakfast tables whilst people were eating.

There were only 5 sunloungers around the pool and the proximity to the dining room (tables two feet away from the pool and having to walk through the dining room to get to the pool) made it very off-putting to actually use it.

Finally - having to check out at 6.30am due to an early flight was a challenge for the staff who had been working for 11 hours. They could not adequately work the computer system and could find no reference to the hotel being paid through Expedia. I had to then pay the full amount for the 3 night stay again, and go through the arduous task of contacting Expedia's offshore call centre to resolve on arriving home.

Stay elsewhere.

We were expecting a nice 4 star hotel, as has been the case with previous Novotel hotels we have stayed at. Initially we were put in a room where there were pigeons roosting directly outside. We asked for another room. We expected the hotel to overlook the park, as is seen in the expedia photos, but instead we overlooked the front of the hotel with a dreadful piece of modern art / disguise for the underground car park which is not maintained (overgrown weeds, etc.) We were also not happy with having to pay 9 Euro to park our car in their car park, when their spaces are not big enough for a family size car. Their free WiFi doesn't work. There are only 2 tv channels in English. The AC didn't work properly. The only reason it is a 4 star is because it has a pool. It is not central, despite the address. Their ONLY saving grace is that the staff were pleasant. We were only there for 2 nights so didn't kick up a stink. Would I recommend this hotel (or Toulouse) to friends? No.

Wonderful, helpful and friendly staff

A central location with nearby park. Rooms are a bit jaded but perfectly clean. Staff are amazingly helpful - one even brought in a hairdryer from home (the one in the room had failed).

Tea and coffee supplies in room and a fridge.

10 minutes leisurely stroll to the Capitol.

Novotel Toulouse

A really well located hotel- about ten minutes walk from the city centre- and a comfortable place for a short stay or stopover, with excellent staff support. I tried to communicate in French and they were very patient and understanding- and they all spoke very good English.
