Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, and the staff provided excellent service. The location was perfect for exploring the old town, although it could get crowded at times. The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious freshly made sandwiches. Overall, a great value for the price.
The hotel offers stunning views over Carcassone and comfortable rooms with sofa beds, but the air conditioning could be improved. The service is impeccable with attentive staff offering room service and pet amenities. The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from Carcassone old town and the castle. Dining options are limited, serving only packaged products. Overall, the facilities are modern with visible attention to cleanliness, yet the value for money could be more competitive.
The hotel offers stunning views over Carcassonne, comfortable sofa beds, and efficient air conditioning. The location is just near the old town and the Citadel, with a beautiful garden setting and extremely helpful staff to assist with your visits. The dining experience includes some good cheese, providing an authentic taste of the region.
