Great location, ok rooms, disappointing restaurant
Hotel location and general atmosphere was great! Room was also pretty good size and comfortable. But the fact that the hotel offers on small tapas plates or jars of food is strange. The breakfast was also very limited for a 4 star hotel. It was just 2 pieces of cheese, a piece of ham and then pastries and one boiled egg. I would expect more and the fact that you can’t really have a real dinner is annoying especially when you want to just chill at the hotel. They siggested we can order Uber eats but would have to eat in our room…..although they also agreed that the restaurant does not serve real dinner.

Outstanding location, amenities and service. Carcassone is amazing, but it’s busy with tourists so we were VERY glad we didn’t stay in the walled city itself. This is a close as you can get and still have a quiet, refined place to crash after wandering around the amazing historic location. Taxi service is spotty at best from the train station so have the hotel reserve one to pick you up if taking the train. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a great trip and loved the hotel. The pool area and bar are fantastic. The staff were great and the hotel dog is beautiful. The only thing that let it down slightly was the finishing touches in the rooms. Of the four drawers on the dressing table in our room, 3 of the handles were broken- a check on these kind of things would elevate the score. We would come back and the placement of the hotel is great and gives you such quick access to the history of Carcassonne.

Beautiful hotel within a few mins walk to medieval Carcassonne - best location ever. Lovely room, not sure we liked the glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom (Room 2), family room. Even with the blind down, it was somewhat see through. A/C was good but v loud!!
