Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were very comfortable, and the views across the garden and ramparts were fantastic. I especially loved the frieze on the walls and the immense bathroom. The hotel offers all the facilities expected in a 4-star place, and the far-reaching views added to the experience.
Staying at this hotel felt like a godsend, with all the expected home comforts provided. The room, located in the 14th Century wing, offered a view to the Basilica and was generous in size, especially with a very spacious bathroom. While the location was truly in the heart of Carcassonne, the tight dead-end at the bottom of the hill added a peaceful charm, away from the tourist hassle outside.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were outstanding with lovely countryside views and comfortable bedding, but could be noisy in the morning due to nearby workers. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff and convenient transfers. The location was fantastic for exploring the old city and nearby areas, though a bit tricky to find at first. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a delicious and diverse buffet. Overall, a great hotel with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is an amazing spot in the middle of the medieval fortification, with old-world charm and excellent staff. The rooms were really spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with a huge, comfortable bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. The service was very helpful and discreet, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the old walled city, offering a unique experience. The dining options were good, with a variety of items to choose from. The facilities need a bit more attention, especially the pool area while providing a good overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were absolutely lovely, with an amazingly comfortable and large bed that was a massive luxury after camping for a few days. My room was large and very comfortable, overlooking the forecourt of the basilica. It even had a mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities. I was delighted to have an upgrade to a room with a large decked terrace, complete with sun loungers and a table and chairs offering stunning views across the new town. The service was top-notch with excellent attention to detail; they even offered to turn down my bed in the afternoon. The location was perfect for exploring Carcassonne, right in the center but still close enough to walk down into the town. Although parking was a bit of a hassle, the large courtyard terrace area more than made up for it. The dining experience was outstanding, with a vast array of delicious breakfast options. Overall, my stay was truly memorable with exceptional service and amenities.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with lovely views of the street, including a fabulous full-size bathtub. The location is impressive, with a historic charm and close proximity to key attractions. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff. However, the dining experience, while rich, may lack some variety, and there are minor inconveniences with street noise outside.
The hotel offers nice rooms with very comfortable king-sized beds and friendly, helpful staff. However, there was an issue with rubbish collection at 6 am in the mornings.
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were spacious with large bathrooms, great beds, and stunning views of Carcassonne. The service was exceptional, from the guided tour to the car transfer option. The location within the medieval fortress was magical, offering a quiet retreat within walking distance of charming restaurants. However, the dining experience in a cramped setting was a bit underwhelming.
I had a lovely view of the garden and a private terrace in my beautifully decorated room. However, the air conditioning seemed a little tired. The room overlooked the garden and swimming pool, which I heard from other guests was perhaps the better side to be on, but it was quite small and old.
