Pros: Very clean rooms and nice decor - old and new mixed. The passion of the couple who own the Chateau is lovely to see, they are very helpful and speak perfect English. The location is fantastic, very peaceful and well maintained. Very close to the castle. Good continental breakfast offered. Owners very kindly greeted us despsite the late check in - after 9pm.

Pros: What a delightful experience! Ideal location 10 min from Carcassone, beautiful grounds and facilities, nicely renovated. The owner was incredibly friendly and solicitous. The "family suite" was large with two rooms and a spacious bathroom. The buffet breakfast was perfect - fresh fruit, yogurts, prosciutto, breads and pastries, cereals, etc. The pool was gorgeous - unheated but otherwise ideal. Being outside of Carcassone allowed us to escape the tourists and enjoy the small villages and country roads. There is even a small public playground in the village of Palaja (2 min drive from the hotel) which my kids loved.

Pros: solicitous staff .... every detail considered, every comfort covered. grand hotel in the early 20th century tradition, elegant restaurant w/ elaborate service, though a bistro also available on the premises. Reflects & enhances the atmosphere of Carcassonne. None of this comes cheap, of course. Only comparable hotel we've stayed at is the Spanish parador in Santiago de Compestila.

Pros: Hotel de la Cite is beautiful and the city itsfelf is breathtaking. Only one complaint - no a la carte breakfast and the standard breakfast for one person is 29 e or about $40! Only want a croissant and a cup of coffee? Still $40! An equivalent breakfast can be had in local cafe for one third of this price. So stay at the hotel de la Cite - just don't eat there.

Pros: Hotel was located outside the medieval walls, about a 5 minute walk to the main gate. Having a baby and luggage to stroll with, it was the better place to stay than in the medieval walls because of the cobble stoned roads. Rooms were clean and it had a good shower. Room was a bit on the small side though, since we had to use a baby cot. Nice hotel overall.
