Hotel Donjon in Carcassone
Pros:

Gute Lage im Kern der Zitadelle. Alles fußläufig erreichbar. Parkplatz ist außerhalb, aber es gibt einen Kofferservice.

Cons:

Die Atmosphäre im Frühstücksraum war nicht besonders, auch die Speisenauswahl hätte besser sein können. Wenig frische Produkte. Personal etwas müde.
