Nice Hotel and Ideal Location
Very nice stay here. It's ideally located for the medieval city as well as restaurants on the way into Carcassonne itself. The staff were very friendly and the room was serviced daily. Our room was small but well equipped. Would have chosen a bigger room if we had known and if one was available. We had a great time at this location and the medieval city is astonishing, but expect to find a lot of tourists. For a good visit, get up early and head up there just before dawn - you will have the whole place to yourself to walk around and take photos.

The hotel is modern and clean with spacious rooms. It is within walking distance of a nature preserve with a lagoon and abundant birds. A popular beach is also right at hand.

We spent one night to explore the old city fortress and enjoyed our stay. It was a 5 minute walk to the main gate and there are several restaurants easily accessible in or outside the main gate. We appreciated having a secured parking spot, and although the room was small, it was clean, functional, and had a great view of the walled city. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a very good stay.

Breakfast was excellent and served on a looking out over the old Cite of Carcassonne.
Room clean and comfortable excellent value for money.

Perfect roadtrip stop and sleep
Perfect roadtrip stop next to the castle and restaurants. I mean, its almost in front of it. Nice parking, friendly service, there is breakfast in the hotel which i recommend because breakfast places in France are not common. Clean room, nice hot shower and bed is ok.

Comfortable hotel a short walk from the old town
Very reasonably priced, clean hotel. Friendly staff, with 24 hour reception. It is very conveniently located in sight of and less than 5 minutes walk from the old city walls. There is good free car parking but it can be full. The room was well furnished and very comfortable, if quite small, but with an excellent en suite shower room. As with most French hotels, there is no kettle or tea-making facilities but a cheap and good coffee machine is in the lobby. The free WiFi works but is irritating as it forces frequent re-login and fouled up my browser to the point of being unusable. The solution is to keep one browser open for the WifFi connection and use another to access web pages!

Excellent hotel - highly recommended
All staff were extremely welcoming. The whole hotel is absolutely spotless. Rooms slightly small, but big enough for two. Breakfast excellent. Five minutes' walk from the old city. Great views from some bedrooms and from the breakfast room. Nothing negative to say about this hotel. Would definitely stay again. Excellent value - cannot recommend highly enough. The only reason they are a two star is because of the size of the bedrooms.

Nice basic hotel, good location, great value
Spent three nights here, would happily stay again.
It's well located on the doorstep of the citadel.
The rooms aren't huge but perfectly adequate.
well appointed, quiet and most importantly spotlessly clean.
Modern bathroom with great shower.
Your normal selection of continental breakfast items. The breads and croissants were all lovely and fresh.
There isn't a lift, but quite frankly unless you have mobility problems you don't need one as it only has a ground and first floor. two very short flights of stairs and that's it.
Good value for money.

Ideal for visiting the fortress of Carcassonne
If you want to stay close to the fortress of Carcassonne then this is the place! Located just a block or two from the main gates you really can't go wrong with this very affordable, clean and well-located option.
