One of the best places we have ever stayed, and we travel a lot. It has either recently been renovated or looked after very well because it was immaculately decorated to the highest standard throughout. Very stylish, they had updated the old building with the upmost style and sensitivity, thinking of every detail a guest might need for their stay. The breakfast was amazing, the host was friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make it a wonderful stay. The city itself is worth a visit but as we came right at the end of the season (beginning of October) it was very quiet and many businesses seemed closed. The Citadel is incredible and worth exploring and some nice places to eat out in and around the city square near the hotel. The was certainly the highlight of our stay in Carcassone. We slept very well and enjoyed the amazing shower, roll top bath, Netflix on the big screen and the luxurious surroundings.
