While the room being on the smaller side is understandable, especially considering European room sizes often differ from those in other parts of the world, after a six-night consecutive stay here, I feel I'm in a good position to comment.
Firstly, the breakfast was absolutely awful, even by French standards. It was the exact same spread every single day, with not even a fried egg offered. It became unbearable after just two days!
Secondly, only two small bottles of complimentary bottled water were provided on the first day. After that, any additional water had to be purchased from a self-service machine on the ground floor. Absolutely ridiculous!
Thirdly, the housekeeping staff spoke no English and were incredibly rude. A powder compact that I had intended to return was thrown out during cleaning! They even discarded empty bottles I had saved! And my clothes, which I had carefully sorted, were 'neatly' folded together, which was just unbelievable!
Fourthly, and most disappointingly, was the so-called 'city center' location. Beyond a convenient bus stop directly outside, walking to the old town involved traversing a stretch of abandoned land, a trek that made you question your decision, taking over ten minutes just to reach the outskirts. As for being 'riverside,' while some rooms *might* offer a glimpse of the Garonne River if positioned well, the constant noise from the road traffic was incredibly disruptive. All in all, this was an extremely, extremely, extremely poor choice!
