La Petite Auberge de St-Sernin

No-frills but friendly, secure and great value, this backpacker-filled hostel offers boxy dorm rooms of four, six and eight beds. The decor's plain – tiled floors, bare walls – but there's a garden for barbecues, and you're only a minute's walk from the Basilique St-Sernin. Some rooms have air-con; ask when you book.
