    The tea and coffee in the rooms was not replenished. Towels could have been a little fresher.

    Perfect location for both sides of the city - everything was within walking distance. We were given a huge, comfortable room. Breakfast was love!y -amazing cakes! Staff were very friendly but gave us space and freedom to use the house facilities.

    Nothing we had a great time

    Really nice place to stay. Room was lovely, was quite big it was clean, well maintainedand the bed was huge! Really nice choice for breakfast too. Catherine was very friendly and easy to get in touch with, answering a couple of queries before we arrived and was on hand during our stay also. Location wise you couldn't ask for better being about a five minute walk from the Cite and right next to the footbridge that crosses the river to the newer part of the town. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Carcassonne. Also if your wanting to visit in April make sure you visit nearer the end of the week as we found that quite a few restaurants/bars opened Thursday to Sunday and were closed the other days.

    You can’t pay by card - cash, cheque or bank transfer. Wasn’t aware of this when booking and struggled to do a bank transfer. Had to find an ATM and get cash. Luckily I had 2 cards.

    The location was excellent for visiting the old town, the new town and the canal Di midi . Rooms were huge and spotlessly clean. Staff couldn’t be more helpful.

    We had trouble checking in, in that no one answered the doorbell or the phone when we called. We finally sent an email and received a code to get in. I think staff should be on hand at all times during check in period. Also suggest a hand rail going up the 2 flights of stairs should be put in.

    The location of the hotel was excellent, near the castle, and the room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, plus air conditioning! Breakfast was great, and staff most attentive.

    Small bit noisy in the front of the building. Close the windows and use air-conditioning if too warm.

    Excellent location, very large well decorated room. Short walk to Medieval City, great restaurants on your doorstep. Beautiful walk over old bridge down by the river. Large swimming pool along the river walk, about 15 mins walk from accommodation. You can pay per visit, sunchairs and slides for kids. Don't forget your speedos lads !!

    Breakfast items not replenished, we had to keep asking for milk, butter, bowls etc. Also not enough tables for every guest if many turned up at the same time. Towels thin but nice toiletries. Room not cleaned every day, and we had to ask for it to be cleaned on day 3.

    Breakfast was very good with a nice selection of items. Hotel situated on a pretty, old street with bars and restaurants very close by, but still quiet. 15 mins walk to old castle and town. Nice large room.

    We loved everything about our two night stay at Catherine's and it was a highlight of our bike trip along the Canal du Midi! Catherine also accommodated storing our bikes during our stay.

    We were delayed in our arrival, but our host, Catherine, was very accommodating and helpful. Her B&B is beautiful, with a lovely inner courtyard, and the rooms are large and elegant. The breakfast room is lovely and welcoming and the breakfast selections are varied and high quality, with lots of homemade and delicious offerings. The location on rue Trivalle puts you in the center of things, including a variety of excellent restaurants and a short walk to La Cité.

    What a great place. Beautifully renovated, just a few minutes walk to the medieval city and numerous restaurants and also to the “new” town. Our room directly facing th s street on the first floor was beautifully insulated from noise but we could open the windows when we wanted. Breakfasts were good, bed good, host beautiful.

    My only areas for improvement: -To add a clothes drying rack. Our room “Barbacane”had an enormous shower recess that could have had a portable drying rack for our “smalls” washing but none avail even though I asked. -There were a Lot of beautiful decorative items, however the space was taken up with these and very little room to put your bags and toiletries where you needed them.

    Fantastic location, walk up to the old cite in 10mins, easy parking close by free, and flat so bringing a bags to Maison very easy Very unremarkable front door, however once main door opened - hallways goes out to breakfast and lounge area and Beautifully presented inner courtyard with huge olive tree and seating. Very large rooms, strong wifi and most req’s catered for. Great breakfast and Marilyn(?) so sorry if I have your name incorrect was very very nice and helpful even though we didn’t speak each others language !!
