My family and I had an excellent stay at this hotel. The rooms were small but very clean and efficiently designed. The bathroom was large, modern, and comfortable. The viewpoint up at the terrace for all guests was spectacular. We did not have any complaints. If we were staying for more than one or two nights though, we would have found our family room to be a bit small, which is not unusual in France. We were just glad the family room had a separate bedroom for the kids. Elderly guests should note that the hotel does not have an elevator. I hauled two midsize suitcases up three flights of stairs with my wife egging me on saying “You look like Rambo, good job honey!” As you can imagine, I look like John Belushi and the walk up was not fun. We only stayed for one night, which is the norm for tourists in this area, and ended up using our suitcases for just one change of clothes, our toothbrushes, and some face creams. If we were doing this all over again, we would have just stuffed our backpack with what we actually needed and left the two suitcases in the trunk of our rental car. Parking is complicated but efficient. You have to drive to the free parking lot, which is a few hundred meters away from the hotel, then walk to the hotel for a few minutes to notify them that you have arrived. The hotel will instruct you to remove the barrier at the entry to the street and drive up. Then, you can drop off your suitcases and family, and if you are not used to parking in tight European spaces like us, the hotel will park your car for you. The cost of private hotel parking was reasonable compared to the rest of France. It is extremely efficient and convenient, and in exchange you get to stay in a historical area that is blocked off to cars. We were extremely appreciative of the hospitality of the hotel, especially the fact that the manager personally parked our car. We thought it would be a bit insulting to tip the man in cash for such valet parking services, and instead we decided to buy two bottles of wine and a bunch of cheeses next door. The specialty foods store next door belongs to the hotel and has wines, cheeses, and pates local to the Carcassonne area. All in all, we were very happy with our stay. Pro tip: Do not stress out if you cannot capture a decent photo of the entirety of the castle walls while visiting the historical site. The hotel terrace has a perfect view of the entire citadel. Watch your head twice, not once, when walking through the doors that lead to the panoramic terrace.

The location is slightly remote, but is closer to Carrefour's integrated business centre. Surprisingly, the hotel room is equipped with an electromagnetic cooker and some kitchen utensils, you can make a simple meal yourself. Free parking, very convenient for self-driving tour.

Hotel location is a short distance from the castle, breakfast is standard, the room is OK, but the price of the hotel in the peak season has also risen.

A basic apartment not too far (10-15 mins.) to walk to the Medieval city of Carcasonne. Clean and comfortable accommodation with a small kitchen with fridge! Could even have cooked but avoided that. Apartment clean and decent bathroom, but two bedside lights would be good. Also could have done with a safe. Breakfast was good and the staff very helpful. No bar or food options in evening, but no problem as plenty of eateries in walking distance and supermarkets not too far away. Smoke alarm beeped at 5am one morning then every 30 secs. till we reported it at breakfast time - then it was sorted. Although reception not manned 24hrs - an emergency number provided - the site was secure and had a large car park. A small indoor pool and steam room was available daily up till 8pm and we enjoyed a quick dip one evening. Not luxury but we enjoyed our stay, the location and the friendly staff.

Where do we start with this one, to the warm welcome when we arrived from André. Then upgraded to a higher grade room and they are just magnificent. Free standing bath, very modern, air con that actually works how it should. Electric curtains, excellent Wi-Fi, fridge. It really is one of the best hotels we stayed at, added to this the fact that it has only 10 bedrooms and you are in for a special time. The pool area is gorgeous and most days it was like our private pool. I couldn’t praise this hotel enough but the add on the restaurant which is top, top class. This has everything. It is a bit of a walk in town 15 minutes but taxis and public transport is a nightmare in general in Carcassonne. Overall, superb break you will not be disappointed.

Strange doesn’t cover it. Rather akin to an American Motel, this two storey ‘block’ looks rather uninviting. Despite the strange decor (rough walls and speckled Formica shelves and wardrobe), the hotel is very welcoming. Food choice poor ie none. Breakfast basic but adequate. Bed rather like a put-u-up but, oddly, comfortable.
