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

Estáncia agradable

La bañera debería tener pasamanos y un tapete antiderrapante extremadamente peligroso. Bañarse en esas tinas, deberían hacer algo al respecto y evitarían muchos accidentes.

Amazing setting. Very disappointed with room. We paid for Superior Double and out in a Classic room. The photos of our classic room was shown on several websites as a Classic. When I queried this they said it was a superior room. That the photos of our room was mistakes. Within minutes our room photo disappeared completely from the websites. Everything else about hotel was lovely. But our room very disappointing. Very dusty, had problem with flushing toilet and when windy the ceiling tiles in bathroom were lifting and clanging. I asked for a refund on room but not given. Allowed us free parking. Did offer to put us in a superior room but we only had one more day so too much hassle.

Hotel wonderfully situated. Room had enough space. Bathroom was large. We chose to add breakfast which had a lot of options: eggs, bacon, cold meats and cheeses, breads, pastries, cereal, yogurt, fruit and juices. The staff overall were very friendly and helpful, however I booked the deluxe room and when i got into the room it looked like the pictures of the cheaper classic room. My room description had a bathtub and we had no bathtub. The pictures of the deluxe room also had an outside sitting area and we only had a juliet balcony. I asked the front staff and they said it was about the size of the room not the amenities. I didnt see another room so i don't know if i was lied to but the pictures of my room look like the classic room.

This was the perfect place to stay if you were visiting Carcassone!! it was located right within the walled city, and definitely had an old world feeling. It was clean and wonderful and the staff was great. The breakfast was delicious and the location was superb. The only thing that I didn’t think was that great was the air-conditioning in the room. It was a little too warm for me and felt stuffy. However, I did open the window, but there are no screens in the windows

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.
