Hôtel de Brienne

Stayed for my Wife's 30th birthday and had an amazing time at Hotel de Brienne. Slept really well and junior suite was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was also very enjoyable, plenty of choice and all regularly topped up. Would definitely return!

The hotel is well positioned, a 15 minute walk to the centre and close to a number of nice bars and restaurants. We had booked a junior suite, located on the top floor overlooking the city and the Basilique Saint-Sernin. The hotel is listed as possessing four stars, however in its current condition, it just about manages three. Upon arriving at our room, we noticed only one glass on the desk beneath the TV. We soon located the other one which was on the balcony, full of cigaret ends and a liquid of some kind. It smelt really bad and we called reception who eventually, after being chased a second time, sent someone to deal with it. Cleanliness really was an issue with cobwebs along the ceiling of the loo, which is located separately from the shower room, the latter smelling heavily of damp due to poor ventilation. The balcony safety rail was hanging off and the plaster on the balcony wall was falling away. The room layout also left something to be desired with the TV mounted on the wall in such a way that it was not visible from the bed. This hotel has seen better days and despite a cool, quirky interior on the ground floor, it falls short on multiple counts. We would not stay here again.

Good hotel. 15 mins walking from main attractions. No baby changing table

A very trendy boutique hotel with some strange decorative touches. Our junior suite was spacious and we particularly enjoyed the little terrace. The desk staff actually look up if you "Bonjour" them, otherwise there is no interaction. There is a huge dining room that didn't seem to get used unless you cough up €15 for breakfast. None of the common areas seemed very welcoming and were always empty. The location is mostly residential. There seemed to be quite a few restaurants around, but they were never open and we actually had to go to McDonald's for coffee. There were lots of subway and bus stops as well as a very convenient bus to the airport a couple of blocks away.
