Incredibly friendly welcome, and great organisation at The Cite Espace hotel. The location was amazing, with some free parking on site, and so close to the ancient city walls. It took us less than 5 minutes to stroll to the gateway of the old town. The rooms were compact, but honestly, for the location and value for money we were very happy. The breakfast was very good, and superbly organised. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Comfortable hotel near the ramparts of Carcassonne

The hotel is very comfortable and the staff were exceedingly helpful. It's only a very short walk from the medieval city. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. The location was perfect for elderly folks to get around. Breakfast is excellent. Air-conditioning, free parking and free WiFi too. Very good value.

Nice Hotel and Ideal Location

Very nice stay here. It's ideally located for the medieval city as well as restaurants on the way into Carcassonne itself. The staff were very friendly and the room was serviced daily. Our room was small but well equipped. Would have chosen a bigger room if we had known and if one was available. We had a great time at this location and the medieval city is astonishing, but expect to find a lot of tourists. For a good visit, get up early and head up there just before dawn - you will have the whole place to yourself to walk around and take photos.

We spent one night to explore the old city fortress and enjoyed our stay. It was a 5 minute walk to the main gate and there are several restaurants easily accessible in or outside the main gate. We appreciated having a secured parking spot, and although the room was small, it was clean, functional, and had a great view of the walled city. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a very good stay.

Comfortable hotel a short walk from the old town

Very reasonably priced, clean hotel. Friendly staff, with 24 hour reception. It is very conveniently located in sight of and less than 5 minutes walk from the old city walls. There is good free car parking but it can be full. The room was well furnished and very comfortable, if quite small, but with an excellent en suite shower room. As with most French hotels, there is no kettle or tea-making facilities but a cheap and good coffee machine is in the lobby. The free WiFi works but is irritating as it forces frequent re-login and fouled up my browser to the point of being unusable. The solution is to keep one browser open for the WifFi connection and use another to access web pages!
