Mercure Hotels in Toulouse

The hotel is centrally located just off the Jardin Pierre Goudouli which in convenient to the Jean Jaures metro stop and also the Aero Bus Stop. Le Capitole is less than a few minutes stroll away as are many restaurants, shops and supermarkets. The Aero bus was 8euro or an Uber was 22euro. The hotel is very attractive from the outside and indeed this continues to the plush furnishings of the lobby and reception area. The is a quaint bar area to convene in but is staffed by reception. The welcome was pleasant and efficient. Time was taken to explain the surrounding area with a map provided. However wrong information was presented regarding complimentary breakfast on the weekend days due to my status, which the person at check out did not agree with. The room was a privilege room which comes with it a certain expectation and standard. The room was well sized with a comfortable bed and range of pillows to suit your needed. There was a functional chair and desk along with a complimentary mini bar and Nespresso machine. Robe and slippers were also provided. The furnishings were acceptable but on the verge of showing wear and tear with a musty smell which filled the room. The window of the room was small and disproportionate stuck in the corner of the room with a view to a fire escape and internal residential courtyard. The open WiFi was of good strength with an average of 40mbs. The bathroom was disappointing regarding its age, toilet flush and over bath shower. The breakfast was a very pleasant affair in the 1st floor breakfast room. It was tastefully decorated and had a pleasing array of food from hot offerings to continental. It was well staffed and stocked. Overall this is a pleasant hotel at a good price point, but missing the little elements of refinement one might expect from a 4 star Mercure.

I loved the rooms here - spacious, comfy and nice (adored the close up mirror in the bathroom too!) with the TV in front of the bed and perfect Ethernet port location! I loved how fast the internet was, although I could not get to connect my PS5 to the internet via wireless nor Ethernet which was the worst part (hence not 5/5). The last reason of why it’s 4/5 is there being no headboard on the bed!! I banged my head a lot against the wall and only gave 2 pillows - give more to compensate!

Das Hotel Mercure Centre Saint-Georges (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem gleich nebenan liegenden Mercure Wilson Capitole) liegt sehr praktisch zentral, einigermaßen ruhig gelegen in Gehdistanz (ca. 5 Minuten) zur Metro-Station Capitole oder Jean-Jaures. Das Hotel ist soweit gut renoviert und modern gestaltet. Mein Zimmer war sehr klein, jedoch pragmatisch und zufriedenstellend ausgestattet (Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank, Safe, Shampoo- und Seifenspender mit hochwertigen Produkten, etc.) Besonders positiv: freundliches Personal, umfangreiches (trotzdem verbesserungsfähiges) Frühstücksbuffet, v.a. jedoch folgender Service: für jeden Tag, an dem man auf den Reinigungsservice verzichtet, erhält man Tags darauf einen Gutschein über EUR 5.-, den man an der Hotelbar einlösen kann. Das finde ich super. Der Barkeeper an der Bar macht sensationelle Cocktails! Für verbesserungswürdig halte ich die technische Wartung der Einrichtung (z.B. undichte Fenster, Pfeifgeräusche bei Wind), den Verzicht auf das umweltverschmutzende Nespresso-Kapselsystem beim Frühstücksbuffet, dafür hätte ich sehr gerne etwas Gemüse und mehr frisches Obst vorgefunden (es gab insbesondere sehr viel Wurstwaren, jedoch nur wenig Käseauswahl und lediglich ein paar Salatblätter, die nicht mehr frisch ausgesehen haben). Ganz besonders störend empfand ich die übertriebene Verdampfung von Duftstoffen in der Hotellobby und -bar!

We had appointments at the Oncopole in Toulouse and booked at the Mecure Toulouse Sud. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the Oncolpole. We arrived late morning much too early to check in but were offered a coffee in the lounge. After our appt we came back and our room was available an hour before official check-in. The lobby, lounge and breakfast area are immaculate. We reserved a room that had bathrobes, slippers and a Nepresso machine. The room was well appointed, a large shower and plenty of counter space. There is a bar and breakfast area but no restaurant, so if you don’t have a car you’ll need to take a taxi to eat on the weekend. There is a restaurant right next door but it’s closed Friday night, and all of Saturday and Sunday. The buffet breakfast was quite good with a selection of meats, cheeses, eggs, fruit and various bread & pastries. There are coffee machines and a lovely selection of bespoke teas with teapots. There is a selection of mini meals available for lunch or dinner if you’d rather not leave the hotel. The staff went out of their way to make you feel special from Wafa who assisted with breakfast to the gal at the front desk who offered us water for our drive home. The hotel is also located a 3 minute walk from the téléphérique a cable car that links to Rangueil Hospital and Paul Sabatier university campus. There is very good bus service available right outside the hotel grounds. Although a bit away from the center of Toulouse it is definitely a very good choice for being south of the city.
