Top! Location, rooms and staff...
Great location, very friendly staff. Parking in the train station parking right next to the hotel with reduced rate. Nice breakfast. Art prints in the lobby and room walls. Only thing to improve was the air conditioning which is dated and sometimes very loud.

Tidy Toulon
As the name explains convenient for the station . The room was compact clean and the bathroom /shower perfectly acceptable . The price was not expensive so I was not expecting luxury . The only comment doesn't really reflect on the hotel as double glazing is good . Unfortunately vagrants ( I assume that was who they were ) seemed to like shouting about 3 am which was not good for sleep . Otherwise for a few nights stay very good The town is kept very tidy sweepers out all day long and the station area is pleasant during the day and evening .

Great Stay
We had such a great stay at this hotel. We booked it for convenience to the train station, and were pleasantly surprised at the ease to all parts of the city...and we walked!!! The front desk was so helpful to us and the room was clean and spacious. A quiet hotel even across from the train station. I would absolutely stay here again when we return for another visit!

Blast from the past with a modern feel
We loved this little hotel! Super location near train station and old town with nice room views over the station. Quirky decor and very helpful staff. Rooms are on the small side but not too smell. Comfy beds. Breakfast could use more fruit. Nice coffee machines and pastries.

Great service, great location. Small rooms.
Really good service and very helpful staff. The room was really small tho - much smaller than it had appeared on the photos. 4 small hangers and no wardrobe. Lack of space wad a real problem, but yhe stsff wete really lovely and nothing was too much trouble. It was greay to get coffee frim the dining room whenever I wanted it and I used it a lot. The breakfasr ar 11 Euros was probably a little on the pricey side, so we had breakfast outside. Great, handy locTion and a good comfy bed.I'd stay again.

Location across the street from the train station is very convenient, and the staff were helpful and friendly. But the room was very disappointing. Very small and plain, no hot water in the shower - it was barely lukewarm - and no blanket on the bed, just a sheet! Even though the weather was warm, the hotel is air conditioned (one of the reasons we chose it) and without a blanket, even a light one, I was uncomfortable. Plus both the bed and the pillow were lumpy, so not a great night's sleep all together. We were supposed to return for a second night next week before taking the train back to CDG but cancelled our reservation and booked elsewhere

Excellent stay in Toulon
This hotel is across the road from the train station which was perfect for us as we were travelling along the south coast of France. Toulon is a wonderful place and this hotel lets you see it all because you can walk everywhere. There are lots of little squares and restaurants close by, including the theatre. There was also an Irish pub nearby which we went to for a few hours. There were good transport links due to the busses to the train station, so easy to get to and from the Old Port and the beaches. The hotel seems to have been recently renovated to a high standard, and the bathroom is great with a spacious shower cubicle. Would definitely recommend, though not too accessible with a small lift.

Not recommended for people with heavy baggage
I selected this hotel, even though it was not cheap, because we had a lot of heavy baggage and it was convenient to Toulon train station. I do not recommend this hotel for anyone with heavy baggage. The hotel is old and tired and does not warrant the 3-stars it claims to be. The entrance was not so obvious - we first thought it was the entrance to a pub. A small desk at the front door serves as Reception. You then lug your baggage up some steps to a little lounge area. Thankfully there is a baggage room but I do not think it is locked, so be sure to lock your stuff. The steps do not end there. We took the elevator up and into a different part of the building. You are faced with a narrow corridor with a couple of steps up to the rooms. The room is okay.. bit small. The bathroom, nothing special. The hotel itself is accessed via a little step from the pavement and the only parking to unload is a space on the pavement between two trees and is not exactly obvious. We ended up parking in the station carpark at a whopping 2 euros per 15 minutes! I did not like that check in is late- 3pm but check out is fairly early. The personnel at the front desk are pleasant and speak English, if required. After a short wait they managed to find us a room that was ready a bit before the 3pm check-in. Personally I do not think this hotel is good value for the 70- 80 euros we paid. We should have remained at our cheaper, more comfortable hotel and used a taxi to the station.

A very nice, convenient hotel
I was very pleasantly surprised by the Grand Hotel de la Gare. I think that for the price, I was expecting less. The room was comfortable, roomy, and very clean. I didn't have all that much interaction with the hotel staff, but in my experience, everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel doesn't have a lot of frills, but if what you need is a comfortable bed and a good shower near the railway station, it's the perfect choice. I plan to stay there again when I need a room in Toulon, and I would certainly recommend the hotel to friends.

Unusual to have a room with a separate toilet room and shower room. Unfortunately the toilet room smelled awful. Otherwise, the room was good with excellent air conditioning, TV, hair dryer etc. No tea or coffee facilities in room.

Not a great neighborhood-next to an adult shop and across from the railway station-with only a public garage for parking. Adequate but not fancy. Excellent breakfast with a lovely lady keeping the dining room perfectly clean and well stocked. A good hotel for people traveling by rail or bus.

The key point about this hotel is its location - just in front of the railway station. This made it very convenient for my plans. At the same time this location is in the very centre of the downtown and is in a walking distance to everything of interest in Toulon. The room was spacious, clean and had a nice view onto the street. There was a good WiFi internet connection. The staff was helpful. Overall the value for money ratio was superb.

Good location
This hotel's strongest point is it's location, opposite the rail station and bus station. Car hire outlets are in the rail station. It is also near the main shopping and entertainment areas. I hired a "Comfort Room". That can be a euphemism for the smallest pokiest room going. It was. The cleanliness and service fully lived up to this promise.

Grand Hotel de la Gare Toulon
I chose this hotel because it was very handy for the SNCF station and reviews I had read were positive. The hotel had apparently been refurbished and the room we were given was of a reasonable size and clean. Carpets in the corridors were grubby, however, and there was a rather stale smell around the place. Our room was next to the lift and very noisy throughout the night. It was a pity that no review I read before I made my reservation had mentioned that the hotel was next door to the SexShopClub which was brightly lit and advertised its services prominently. If I had known this I would definitely not have booked the hotel.
