What a place! Stopped in on a whim, and were thrilled to find ourselves in excellent hands. Great facilities, surprisingly great breakfast, and very comfortable facilities. Great food recommendations from super friendly staff. And all at a VERY reasonable price.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a 5min walk to the medieval city. The staff were friendly and spoke good English. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The facilities in the hotel were also good.
We stayed with our 5 year old and we all really enjoyed it.

Staff are lovely. Great position for the old cite and airport shuttle. Breakfast is ok, but not worth 15 euros. Pool is a welcome break after hot days
Limited snacks poolside, rooms were clean , not keep on the words on the wall around the tv made it feel like a hostel, no cakes available to have with a coffee

A perfect place to stay in Carcassonne
Loved this hotel. Really clean and comfortable, and the location is great. Both for the citadel and the restaurants and shops further along Rue Trivalle. The pool and seating area were a welcome place to relax and cool off. The staff were all friendly and welcoming (and spoke good English if, like me, your French isn't the best!) Secure parking an added bonus too.

Modern hotel Steps away from castle. The outside swimming pool is lovely. Very good air conditioning.
We are family of three with teenager and the room was very small. We stayed for one night only on our way to south.

The property was ok, I arrived at the hotel to find it closed. No notice of this from the hotel. I call the hotel, and am informed I have been "upgraded" to a different hotel, Montmercy. This hotel was older and the facilties were interesting to say the least. Wifi was horrible, about 6 inches between the front of the toilet and the sink. I would not have chosen this hotel

When we arrived at this hotel we were told that our reservation had been changed to another hotel further up the town. We had booked a large room with a double and a twin for extra space and comfort. When we arrived at the 2nd hotel we were sent to an annexe across the road from the main part of the hotel. Here we found that the room was a standard double. When I rang reception I was told that this was an upgrade. I informed her that we had booked a large double originally. She was then miraculously able to find such a room quite close to the original room she put us in. We had been traveling since 9 p.m. the previous evening without sleep so this was not the check in we expected
