I found the medieval city to be unbearably crowded during daytime hours but as soon as all of the day visitors left I could appreciate the city and for this reason I think staying in the city is the only way to go. By doing so you'll have a few hours of solace in the morning and evening before/after the hordes of tourist arrive/leave. During my visit to Carcassone we sought refuge at Hotel de la Cite in advance of our dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant later in the evening. In the lounge we enjoyed an excellent bottle of wine while snacking on some of the best olives I think I have ever eaten. Right off of the lounge there was a beautiful patio with breathtaking views of the city walls and surrounding countryside. Service was unobtrusive and elegant; I would definitely stay at this hotel.

The room was very modern and clean. It had all the amenities of a big city hotel. Staying inside the city walls was a magical experience, starting from the minute our complementary shuttle driver picked us up at the car park outside the walls. He then maneuvered through the medieval streets that were built for pedestrians, horses and carriages and now are mobbed by tourists. We managed to get to our room without hitting any tourist or any wall. Anyways, we ended up staying here two nights and we would have stayed longer if we hadn't had other traveling plans in place.

Our room was on the small side for American standards but regular for European standards. Either way, a nice and very clean room with a comfortable bed and an amazing rain shower. The hotel also provides parking space which is convenient since parking in that area may be complicated. As a plus, the hotel has a nice rooftop with amazing views of the medieval walled city. Overall, an excellent and affordable choice. We will certainly keep it on our list for next time visiting the area!

There are parts that are still under construction which could have affected the rating but in the grand scheme of things, the quality of service and the hotel surpassed everyone's expectation. The hotel is contemporary, chic and very clean, not all the rooms have a view. The bathroom and bedrooms are clean, meticulous. The hotel staff is very professional, polite and very helpful! They actually care about their clientele. Had an issue with the shows and their rep came up within 5 minutes to fix it. No "let's wait for our technician to come in 3 hours". Breakfast is also included and a nice small bar for drinks. Most of the staff seems very happy to work there and it shows. Thanks for the great stay! Sad to only have been there one night! Oh and the city Carcassonne wasn't half bad either!

Pulling into the dirt driveway you may be tempted to turn around and find another hotel. But that would be a mistake. This B&B is a real find for those who are willing to look past the rough exterior. First of all, there's the location. You could not ask for better. You get a clear, unobstructed view of the Cite, so close that you almost feel like you are ready to lay siege to the fortress. From the door of your room to the drawbridge is about a five-minute walk. In contrast to the outside of the building, inside the rooms are clean, modern, and extremely comfortable. The shower in our room was the most spacious we had in Europe. The AC worked very well, and we had no problems connecting to wi-fi. Breakfast is included in the price, and was not terribly thrilling...fresh croissants were the highlight. The only real complaint we had was that the outdoor stairs leading down to our room were a bit slippery and treacherous. The warm and friendly staff speak no English, but unlike most places in France, they cheerfully worked through our communication barrier. Very, very nice people who run a great hotel. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay in Carcassone, this is it.

I don't think we could have picked a better time to explore the walls and valleys of the ancient city of Carcassonne, replete with tails of Cathar heresies, witchcraft and inquisition. The drafts and gusts of the mountainous winds (the ever present "mistral") can't be ignored in a building of this age - doors will slam and windows will shudder.... ghosts? Well all-in-all nice ones, they put up with my snoring! A family runs this beautiful charming hotel that provides parking as well as a rather lovely breakfast. They actually have food to order too and their tiny open bar was a respite for me when I needed that midnight tipple of rose wine! Very economical considering its historicity and the beds are nice, the armoirs vast and the history of where you're at - well, incalculable - but made all the more enjoyable by a multilingual staff (Spanish is as much a second language here as English - gracias a Dios parami!) that are ready to make you part of the family. One of their nicest touches - they provided a remarkable collection of post cards and helped you with postage to let your loved ones know you are having way more fun then them! In short, a treat!
