Welcomotel Castres

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : This Greet hotel, a novel concept from the Accord group, opened just this summer. Located in Sax, 4 km out of Castres, it is a good stopover on the road to Toulouse. No need to go to downtown Castres; there is a restaurant across the street, and the hotel has its own bar/lounge, a TV room plus a small terrace. Friendly manager/receptionist. Positive for the environment: lounge and rooms are decorated in part using recycled materials. Rooms contain huge flatscreen TV, airco, good bedding and sufficient lighting. Excellent WiFi. Modern bathroom with walk-in shower. Quiet (our room was at the back of the hotel). Spacious parking area.
  : Rooms are somewhat small. It is difficult to maneuver around the beds without hitting the TV from the wall. Also hard to watch TV, as it was not easy to sit down at sufficient distance. Bathroom could be improved by the addition of a shelf underneath the basin. As it was, we had to put our toiletries bags etc. on the floor. Refilling of the toilet tank after flushing was quite noisy (just as in the neighbours' room..).
