Hôtel La Chartreuse

Hôtel La Chartreuse is a one-star budget hotel at 4 bis Boulevard de Bonrepos in Toulouse, in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. It lies on the boulevard beside the Canal du Midi, near the Toulouse-Matabiau railway station, so it is a few minutes on foot from the station and from the canal towpath. The station offers TGV, regional and intercity trains, metro line A and the airport shuttle, which makes the area practical for arrivals and departures at any hour. The Place du Capitole and the old town are around fifteen to twenty minutes on foot or a short metro ride away. As a one-star property, the hotel offers a very basic level of accommodation aimed at the lowest end of the price scale. Rooms are listed as Single and Double, and Wifi is the listed amenity; air conditioning is not listed, so summer visitors should check about fans or cooling. Rates generally fall between about EUR 55 and 110 per night. Breakfast, where offered, is the main on-site meal, and the surrounding station district has bakeries, brasseries and cafes, with more choice toward Jeanne d'Arc and the Capitole for traditional Toulouse dishes such as cassoulet. The service character is simple, suited to backpackers, solo travellers, rail passengers on short stays and budget visitors who value location over facilities. The telephone number is +33 5 61 62 93 39 and the website is chartreusehotel.com. Facilities are modest, so guests with specific needs, such as a lift, private parking or full-service breakfast, should confirm details before arrival. The canal path nearby is pleasant for a morning walk, and train excursions to Albi, Carcassonne and Montauban start at the station a few minutes away.
