Lovely old hotel in centre of old city
Pros:

This hotel matched our expectations in terms of being a lovely traditional place in the heart of the old city. The room had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Breakfast wasn't delicious served in a spacious dining area. Would definitely recommend and return. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

We will be back
Pros:

Staff were so helpful and friendly. A real differentiator. Breakfast was buffet style and very good selection. Room very clean and terrace a bonus.

Cons:

Our room was a little dated. I'm sure the rooms in the newer parts of the hotel are more modern.

Nice hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Nice hotel in a great location. You cannot drive inside the walls of the city and they provided parking right outside and brought our bags to the hotel.

Cons:

It took extremely long to get them to take our bags back to the car park.

Une étape à Carcassonne
Pros:

L’emplacement au cœur de la cité et le restaurant partenaire de l’hôtel, chez Christine

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner est correct mais absolument rien de fabuleux. Le parking est a l’extérieur des remparts. Vous rejoignez l’hôtel à pieds pendant qu’un bagagiste transfère vos bagages en voiture. Malheureusement lors du départ avons attendu 40mn dans notre voiture que les bagages arrivent ce qui est très désagréable

Disappointing for the price
Pros:

Location, history and the gardens

Cons:

I just found it a little shabby for the price, the bathroom needs painting and is outdated. The bed was rock hard so we didn't get much sleep. To me this would barely be a 3 star
