A few of us are going to Toulouse later this season and i'm trying to find the best area of the city to book a hotel. Something central seems best but for those that have been there in the past, it would be great to get some ideas. I could PM Jean but, then again...............

I don't regularly stay in a hotel in Toulouse anymore, because it is easier for me to drive there and back from Carcassonne. However my memory from the old days, when I lived in Paris, is that Hotel ibis Styles Toulouse Centre Gare is the most economical and convenient for visitors, especially those from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The bus will take you there from Toulouse's airport. The train station and metro is just across the street.

The power of the Internet, eh? Even from Chorley you can Google "toulouse hotels"

Walking distance of both the Central Station and The Melting Pot (which is the main pub of choice for most RL Supporters.)

The hotel blurb says:
"The hotel is 1 km from Matabiau SNCF railway station,"
Well I can tell you from much personal experience that the Toulouse Ibis I recommended -- Toulouse Centre Gare -- is right opposite (100 metres) from the Matabiau SNCF railway station and the metro. Of course the Ibis is more expensive, but you pay for the convenience.

Went in 98 with England for the football, can't remember much to be honest but there's a big square in the centre with plenty of bars. Seem to recall quite a few RU bars, nice City though.

That's nearer to De Danu rather than the Melting Pot, although still not particularly far.
If you're visiting for a few days at a nice time of year then I'd recommend the Novotel Compans Caffarelli which is about a 25 minute walk from the Melting Pot, is a very nice, modern hotel set within Japanese gardens and even has an outdoor swimming pool.
If you want cheap and cheerful then I'd recommend Toulouse Ibis Centre which is at the side of Jean d'Arc bus station which is served by buses from the airport and is also where you need to catch the bus to Blagnac for going to the stadium. 5 minutes walk from the Melting Pot.
(As you may have guessed, the Melting Pot is the centre of the rugby league universe in Toulouse and has a ton of scarves and flags from UK RL clubs all over the ceiling and walls)

We stayed at the Novotel Compans Caffarelli which was excellent. Easy for transport to/from the airport and also to the ground. Set in a park just of the main drag with a couple of pubs on. There is an English guy who gets in the Metling pot who acts as an unofficial liaison officer. The Broncos also stayed here.
