Travelling in Toulouse, or with a flat that's too noisy, and a video call to squeeze in between two meetings? No point trying a packed cafe or a hotel room's wifi. The smart move: a coworking space with a booth or bookable room, accessible by the day. Here are our Toulouse addresses for taking your call in peace, and the habits that make a call go smoothly.

The Smart Move: A Coworking Space with a Booth or Room

For a successful video call in Toulouse, aim for a coworking space open by the day, with a phone booth or a room you can book by the hour. Our coworking addresses open to visiting workers (check options and rates on their websites):

  • The Social Hub, a hotel with a workspace, rue de Sébastopol.
  • HarryCow, a central coworking space, rue Sainte-Ursule.
  • Sporting Works, a coworking space on route de Launaguet.
  • La Cantine, La Mêlée's coworking space, rue d'Aubuisson.

Book, and Test the Wifi Before the Call

A call that stutters ruins your professional image. Before committing, run a speed test (Speedtest or fast.com) from your table and aim for at least 10 to 25 Mbps both up and down. Book the booth or room in advance, especially mid-morning, and arrive 15 minutes early to settle in and test your connection. A headset with a mic is still essential, even in a booth, and put the light in front of you with a neutral background.

Cafe, Hotel, Station: The False Good Ideas

In Toulouse as elsewhere, the cafe is risky for a video call: background noise and zero privacy when you're talking business. The library flat-out bans calls. A hotel room works in a pinch, but the wifi and the background are hit and miss. The coworking space remains the safest option, and often the cheapest per hour when it counts.

How Much Does It Cost

Depending on the space, you pay by the hour, half-day or day, wifi included, and meeting rooms are booked separately. Rates change often: check them on each coworking space's website before booking. For a one-hour call between two meetings, the maths is quickly done compared with a hotel room.

In a Nutshell

In Toulouse, The Social Hub, HarryCow, Sporting Works and La Cantine cover the city for quiet video calls: booth or bookable room, day pass, reliable wifi. Book ahead, test your speed, and keep your headset. More tips in our guide to where to take a video call when you're not at home.
