Reviews from visitors:
This hotel is beautiful - the staff were friendly and warm, the room was perfect. I would stay here again in an instant, it was a great experience in a great part of the city. 5 stars!
The rooms really are nice, I enjoyed that aspect of my stay here. Nice showers, and good use of space. Beds are quite comfortable but not exactly as much as you would expect. The restaurant is fine, I ate there once and didn’t go back. The main trouble in both the restaurant and the hotel is the staff. I get that expectations will differ greatly between the us and Europe. But this is billed as a 5 star hotel. I had to change rooms after the first 2 nights (I stayed 4) and because the person in the room hadn’t checked out, the man at the front desk lectured me about basic facts for a full five minutes. In the end I left my luggage and wandered around aimlessly for a few hours, as I would have if I was staying in a hostel. When it came time to check out, the woman who works the front desk during the day locked me out of my room exactly at 11 am. That’s check out time she said. When I proceeded to explain what I saw as an inconsistency, she rolled her eyes and again, a lecture. I do want to say that the woman who works the night shift at the front desk was extremely helpful, sympathetic and kind. I feel bad leaving a less than stellar review bc she was so very good at her job - but this was not a good experience overall.
VILLA DU TAUR – PERFECT ESCAPE IN TOULOUSE HISTORIC CENTER
Toulouse is all too often overlooked, but it’s one of France’s most historic and fascinating cities. Toulouse is a wonderful destination that hides many surprises. The city hosts a rich architectural heritage and a unique modest character. Its magical pink brick stone buildings is the source of its romantic nickname “la ville rose” and you don’t need to stroll long to understand. Toulouse is filled with surprises, from monuments to quaint small private dooryard, it’s like every time you turn a corner there’s a cute little street to discover.
The other advantage is that, even if the city is the 4th largest in France with 400 000 residents, the city center is quite small. You can reach any important sight-seeing spot within minutes as long as your lodging is well-situated, like Villa de Taur. It’s a few steps away from the iconic Saint-Sernin Basilica, the Capitole place, the Pont-Neuf and everything else. After all, the best way to enjoy Toulouse is by foot.
VILLA DU TAUR
With its Boutique hotel character and modern design, Villa du Taur offers bright rooms decorated with custom-made furniture and colourful pops of modern art, graphic prints & street art inspired pieces. With its 17 specially designed rooms, it’s a chic and modern address that opened its doors after major renovations in April 2016. They’ve decided to keep the iconic pink brick outside, for a complete Toulousain experience.
The art is truly at the center stage of the hotel, with local artists such as RESO and MONDÉ as well as international artists and works to discover featured in the restaurant Sixty-Two.
Very nice hotel, great service. Our set menue in the restaurant was just genius! The best meal we had throughout our whole one-week trip around this part of France.
Actually less than OK. We discovered our sheets had been washed and dried with some paper towels, leaving them thinly caked. No apologies. No amenities unless asked for.
