Pros:

Our stay in hotel du Roí was excellent. We attribute our great stay to two of the staff members, the manager Yari and the restaurant manager Nicolas, both of these staff members made our stay wonderful. The hotel is exceptionally well located to visit the castle and the town. We also found the chefs food delicious and opted to eat at the hotel most nights.

Pros:

Good location and nearby underground parking for our car. However, hair in the shower (not ours) and no ventilation at all in the en-suite toilet was not up to 5*standard.

Pros:

Sadly the images of the terrace are misleading for most rooms. The image is of a terrace is for the top floor panoramic rooms only, whereas most rooms don’t get much of the sun and are covered by greenery. They use the same terrace image for all rooms on the booking, which implies lots of sinshine (no roof).

Great location
Pros:

Very pleasant Hotel in a prime location on the river next to the old bridge with ready walking access to the old city. 2 nights in a comfortable room with bath and shower.
Breakfast was ample with a good range of cold and hot buffet items. Service was excellent with reception staff supportive and helpful.
On the critical side, the spacious balcony with good views of river, bridge and old town leaked from above, with tired floring. The spa is separate from the small hotel swimming pool at extra cost with the hot tub and sauna within the spa. No room service for food whilst the restaurant was open and fully booked.
Overall, a good stay 8/10

poorly managed food service
Pros:

I had booked a parking space, but they told me they didn't have any, and that I should fix it on the street. It was a holiday and there was limited availability. After my insistence, they solved the problem.

Pros:

Staff were superb, the view from the hotel was fantastic towards the old city/ castle and a short walk across the old bridge to the old town was 5 mins. The hotel had an indoor swimming pool which we used, it was clean and fresh towels were sat on the recliners next to the pool.
We stayed on a bed and breakfast and every morning you had the choice of cooked, fresh ham, cheese and pastries.
A small niggled for me was the dinner menu never changed the whole time we were there and we felt it could had a bit of a difference but each to their own.
A great stay made easier by the staff and standard of service. I would recommend a stay here 100%

Pros:

A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The only downside was we couldn’t get a lunchtime cocktail because the bartender didn’t start until 6 (it was a weekend) which was the only fault we could find! Great stay - Merci!

Pros:

Make sure to book a city view room. Our 3rd floor corner room was spacious with two double beds, a bath and separate shower and most importantly stunning views across the Aude of the Pont Vieux and the old city.
We stayed two nights with breakfast included. Breakfast had a good selection including champagne, much to my wife’s delight, and you could have it in the air conditioned breakfast/restaurant or on the terrace.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay but would reiterate that the view from the balcony was a major factor in our enjoyment. If it’s the same for you make sure to book a city view room.
