Very old building rooms are typically french, a quite hotel but right in the middle of the citadel so you do get some street noise at times. A lovely 3 night stay

Best location, beautiful hotel. The staff were very friendly. Great to have the check out late, so you can explore the area further. I would love to be back!

This hotel was very fun in that it was located within the walls of Carcasonne. The many tourists disappeared in the evening and the town became quiet and beautiful!

Well situated and atmospheric. Friendly staff. Our room was at the front and in the future would be good if room selection and prices showed room location to enable more informed choices.

Our room was in the annexe across the street from the main hotel. This was not mentioned on Expedia and certainly detracted from our enjoyment not feeling the ambience of what is a good hotel. The room was clean but the description’Superior’ is deceptive for what I consider to be a very average room. The hotel was clean in a good position inside the walls and the breakfast was good. The Hôtel restaurant next door was also very good.

The superior room was days, dusty, cob webs, musty and one solitary old bottle warm musty water as the sole item in the non working minibar. Minimal bathroom accessories and no where near the normal 4 star standard and baseline charges that were charged
Stayed 1 night in May 2025

10/10

From the free shuttle car service to the hotel, to the warm and professional service from the staff - this hotel is top notch. My room, number 36, did smell very strongly of fresh paint and the radiator in the bathroom had an extremely rusty pipe. The bed was very comfortable, no other windows looked in on my room, which I really liked. Breakfast was great, good choices. The hotel kindly stored my case whilst I explored the city more after checking out, I really appreciated this. I would definitely stay again.
