A delightful stay. Highly recommend.

Exceeded all expectations. The hotel was inside the city gates of Carcassonne. Updated and comfortable. Nice, quite garden in the back where you could escape the crowds. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff was friendly, especially the staff stationed for the breakfast buffet. Where to park was a bit confusing and the GPS tried to take us through the city gates (obviously, not possible). Would highly recommend the experience and the hotel.

This was a beautiful hotel in a stunning place. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the shared areas excellent. The only fault is our room felt a bit tired for a 4 star hotel.

Great property! We arrived very late and the hotel manager/staff was more than accommodating to get us from our uber to the hotel. Breakfast in the morning is a bit light but traditional. We had one issue where I showered the first day and was caught in the shower with both an empty large bottle of shampoo and body wash. My husband went to housekeeping and was able to recover it but inconvenient to wait that long and easily avoidable. All minor in the scheme of things. We would recommend this hotel!

Transport of luggage (and us) to and from the secure parking outside the City walls was excellent and well organised. Well worth the money. Hotel staff were all friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble.
