Hôtel Le Cousture

Hôtel Le Cousture is a two-star budget hotel at 40 Boulevard Lazare Carnot in the Wilson and Jean-Jaurès district of Toulouse, in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. It is about 500 metres from the city centre, standing on a tree-lined boulevard between Place Wilson and the Allées Jean-Jaurès, close to the Jean-Jaurès interchange of metro lines A and B. Walking from the hotel to the Place du Capitole takes only a few minutes, and the Place Wilson cafes and restaurants are close at hand. The Grand Rond garden and the Canal du Midi are within a pleasant walk, and the Matabiau railway station is reachable by metro or on foot. This location puts the hotel in a convenient position between the old town and the transport links, which is its principal strength. The property offers Single and Double rooms, with Wifi as the listed amenity; air conditioning is not listed, so visitors in summer should check with the hotel. Rates generally range from about EUR 55 to 110 per night, a budget level that is well below the nearby three-star properties. Breakfast is the typical on-site meal, and the many cafes, bistros and brasseries around Place Wilson and Boulevard Lazare Carnot provide lunch and dinner, with Toulouse cassoulet and duck dishes on offer. The service character is modest and practical, suitable for budget travellers, solo visitors, students, short stays and couples. The boulevard is busy during the day but quieter in the evening than the central squares. The telephone number is +33 5 34 40 29 00 and the website is lecousture.com. The Boulevard Lazare Carnot area is also near the Grand Rond and the Jardin des Plantes, offering green space for a morning walk before sightseeing.
