The location is superb, within walking distance of the main shopping town center and boasting spectacular views over the city's fortifications. The dining experience is excellent, with a variety of options and a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a great value for money choice with some minor service hiccups.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a few surprises and charges extra for Wi-Fi despite the room rate. The service is friendly and helpful, although there was an issue with a staff member being sick. Its location is exceptional, right in front of the Old Town of Carcassonne, with stunning views of the walled city. The dining experience had ups and downs, but overall decent. The facilities meet expectations.
