DIRECTIONS
Please note that the hotel is not in the city centre of Toulouse itself and you will have to take some form of transport to reach us. Do not book at my hotel expecting to be able to walk into town and then give me poor feedback with regard to location as I feel that this is totally unjustified and unfair. The No 15 bus, going to FONDEYRE, runs every 20 minutes from Place Jeanne D'arc to the hotel, (marked Glaciere on the bus stop, which is right near the end of the line), and costs 1,40 euros. It runs from 06:20 a.m. until 20:00 p.m. Look to get off just after La Poste on RHS (Not to be confused with the first La Poste Office at Barriere de Paris, on your LHS just before the roundabout with traffic lights on it) and by a garage-Imagin Auto, with yellow and red flags. Turn left and then immediately right and you'll see the hotel facing you. You will see Glaciere on the sign in the bus to let you know it is the stop to get off. You can use the same ticket you purchased for the Metro, on the bus, provided it's within 1 1/4 hours of the time you bought your ticket.
Please note that unfortunately the 15 bus doesn't run on a sunday so you will have to take the metro to La Vache and then take the No 59 at the bus terminus to Glaciere, you will see an esso petrol station then a minute later, red and yellow flags near the bus stop. It is 3 minute ride to Glaciere. They are at 7am, 8am, 930am, 1055am,1230,1355,1455,1640,1800,
and 1900
Dont forget it will be probably quicker to take the metro from Barriere de Paris to get into town. The first metro starts at about 05:20 from La Vache, till around 00:15 in midweek and around 01:00 friday and saturday from Jean Jaures.
For those arriving at the train station (Gare Matabiau) take one stop on Line A of the metro to Jean Jaures and then take line B to Barriere de Paris, walk to Ave Etats Unis you will see the Midas garage. The last bus leaves Jeanne D'arc at 20:00 so ensure you get to Barriere de Paris by 20:45 to take the last bus. After that time continue on the metro to La Vache and when you come up turn back towards the bus terminus to Rue Muratet and then you will see the Police Station on the right, by the lights. Go straight over passing a school on either side, to the next lights, you will see a peugeot garage in front of you. Go right and then go over the roundabout (citroen garage on the corner) and carry straight on past esso garage and then walk to the right of the underpass. Carry on till you get just pass La Poste, go right to impasse des etats unis and the hotel is 100 metres on the left. If you have heavy luggage, ask for a carte de cabine at the railway station c.7euros. Then get on the Metro to La Vache and then ring 0561209000 or 0534250250 for a taxi to impasse des etats unis from there.
There is also another bus which is the N5 which runs from the railway station at 21:45/22:45/23:45 or just along from Place Jeanne D'arc on Boulevard de Strasbourg at 21:55/22:55/23:55 but that will only get you as far as Barriere de Paris. From there it is a 20 minute walk. From La Vache it is around 15 minutes. I suggest that you take the metro if you can. If not get as near to us as possible and then order a taxi as they are not cheap..
Taxis to and from the hotel to the centre of Toulouse are between 15 and 20 Euros but it is advisable to ask them before you take one. After 21:00 they are more expensive.
Please give me feedback as to whether the directions were good or not, as otherwise I am unable to correct them.

The reception is unmanned, at certain times, over Saturday and Sunday. Please let us know your time of arrival at the hotel. As a last resort we can leave your key in your room.
