The parking “Welcomer/Valet” met us in the parking lot and took our bags to the room for us. The receptionist at the front desk was very helpful and made check in very easy. Our room came with a private garden area that we could sit in to enjoy time outside. The room was a good size for our two night stay and the hotel was located within walking distance to the castle, restaurants, a boulangerie and shopping. We had a wonderful stay and only wish it could have been longer. Breakfast was offered for a cost but we opted not to take it, using the boulangerie down the street for a light breakfast.

This hotel is inside the grounds of the medieval castle. It is absolutely breathtaking and will blow you away. You have to park about 5-10 mins away and walk into the castle grounds to the hotel. Inside the walls is like being transported back to the middle-ages. There are lots of little boutique shops and restaurants. The hotel was very nice and the staff were extremely helpful. The breakfast is also worth checking out. It was great!

The hotel's location in the center of the medieval city is ideal. It's an oasis amid the crowds that visit each day. As you cannot bring your car into the medieval city, the hotel has an efficient system in which you park outside the city and the hotel arranges for your bags to be delivered. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had a great time.

Everything here was great! A beautiful hotel, in a medieval building, perfectly situated on a quiet street (rare) in the center of historic Carcassonne. Very friendly staff, splendid room with generous amenities and a very well appointed bathroom (L'Occitane en Provence). Overall perfect stay!

A delightful stay. Highly recommend.

Exceeded all expectations. The hotel was inside the city gates of Carcassonne. Updated and comfortable. Nice, quite garden in the back where you could escape the crowds. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff was friendly, especially the staff stationed for the breakfast buffet. Where to park was a bit confusing and the GPS tried to take us through the city gates (obviously, not possible). Would highly recommend the experience and the hotel.
