My girlfriend booked this hotel - she did well...!! This is a small boutique hotel in a great location. Reception was quick and efficient. Our room was a little on the small side, but it was beautifully light and airy. It had everything we needed, including a balcony too. We weren't in the room for long, and thanks to the... More

Firstly the exterior, the location of the Le Grand Balcon Hotel is fantastic, just 30 yards from the Place Du Capital with a view from one side straight into the main square. The building itself is impressive; a lovely looking listed building with wrought iron Juliet balconies around the windows. When you enter the lobby, there is certainly a wow... More

This is a very tastefully renovated and decorated hotel (2008), done with respect for its aviation history. Right on a corner of the Place Capitole, offering very comfortable and luxurious rooms. For just a little more money you get more space, and rooms on the inner courtyard are quiet. A warning for those arriving by car. The catastrophic car policy... More

We arrived at the hotel after a 7 day tour through the lovely French countryside, where we stayed at wonderful 5 star chateaux and inns. This hotel, although it has the 5 stars, is a big disappointment in comparison. It is a very average, modern hotel. On the plus side, it is well located and convenient. The bed is comfortable....

The room (422) was tastefully decorated and the lighting is sophisticated. It's at the back of the hotel. Even with open the windows it's quiet. Good bed quality. The free WiFi worked flawlessly. The 3D television with iPhone dock is great. I appreciated the complementary Nespresso coffee in the room. The breakfast (18€) was very good. Good variety, delicious bread,... More

On our arrival the service was professional and welcoming. The room was perfectly clean, loved the details from the toiletries to the coffee machine. We had requested a quiet room and were allocated a room at the back of the hotel which was perfect. The linen and towels were lovely quality. We can't comment on breakfast as we ate out.... More

What a unique hotel, like sleeping in a cloud! The aeronautical theme has a historical basis as Aeropostale pioneer pilot St. Exupery was a long time guest. But the guest room decor and calmness take the theme into the clouds. Pure white, puffy bed linens with grey fluffy pillows mirror the cloud motif on the ceiling. Quotes by St, Exupery... More

My girlfriend and I arrived in Toulouse after a five hour drive from Barcelona. The building itself is impressive to look at from the Place du Capitole (basically slap-bang in the centre of town), with its grand balcon stretching around the outside. Once into the smart-looking reception, the staff were courteous and helpful. We were tired and wanted a recommendation... More

We really enjoyed our stay at this chic, stylish hotel. There was a real 'wow' factor when we first saw our room - a beautiful piece of interior design that is arty, modern and spacious. The links to the hotel's aviation past were also nicely and tastefully incorporated into the decor. My only slight criticism is that the lovely bathroom... More
