Perfect hotel to visit an amazing place
Clean hotel, nice pool, reasonably priced, very welcoming and helpful staff, 5 min walk to the medieval cité and 15 min walk to the centre with shops, cafes, etc. Our room was big enough, quiet and even looked into the ramparts - spent a couple of days from our 7 night stay at the hotel and next time I go back, I will definitely stay here again. If I had to make one suggestion to the hotel, it would be to put at least one vegetarian dish on the menu. The whole area may be big meat eaters, but that doesn’t mean every visitor is. In fact, if you are veggie then you will struggle here for options generally (can recommend Le Cachotier which is probably the only restaurant in Carcassonne with a vegan menu)

Decent 3* hotel.
A decent 3* hotel with a good small pool with sunloungers. Good ample breakfast included in price. Only a 10 minute stroll to the Cite. No balcony in rooms in level 1 & 2.

We absolutely loved staying here. The grounds were fabulous and my kids loved the foosball and ping pong tables. The bar was perfect for me and the staff was very helpful. They even held some foodstuffs in their fridge for us. (The rooms don't have a fridge). Walked right up to Carcassonne from the hotel in 10 mins!

Nice modern hotel, well maintained and short walk from the fortress. Excellent staff. The one issue I’d raise is that the shower area has no curtain or door. So the whole bathroom floor gets wet. That’s also slippery, people can fall. Plus it’s a wet floor all the time.

Good location
Unfortunately I got a disabled room in the first floor, the shower was not very convenient with the water running all over the floor. The bathroom had a terrible pee smell, really unbearable. Very basic room with the bear minimum. Wifi is good, breakfast is good, comfy mattress and pillows. 10min walk distance to the castle. Large parking lot onsite. Friendly and efficient staff.

Great choice to visit Carcassonne
Very pleased with our choice to spend a night in this hotel. Convenient parking, friendly staff, nice pool, and good breakfast. We both slept very well in the comfortable (and giant!) bed. Our room was very quiet as well. Being able to walk to the medieval city was why we chose the place: it takes only 6-8 minutes!

The property and the reception staff were OK, but the manager “Sebastien” was nothing short of despicable. I asked the receptionist to speak with the manager to ask him a question regarding extra charges (40 Euros) for my 4yo daughter to sleep with us in the same room and he did not want to bother to come out. When I insisted in talking with him, he was extremely rude. He claimed he didn’t speak English, but he did a little. When I told him I didn’t agree to the extra charges as I had called ahead to ask precisely if there would be any and they had told me none, he said there was no record that I called and that basically was my word againt his. I told him had I known this, I would have reserved somewhere else, he said that he would cancel my reservation not even giving me an option or at least being professional or courteous. At this point, while having this conversation, my daughter and husband had just come out if the pool and noticed that our room key didn’t work, so I told him to give us new one so we can pack and leave, he REFUSED to give me the key!!! I told him I had a 4 yo kid wet and waiting outside the room without a towel he still refused. He wanted me to call Expedia first for some reason. I told him the call to Expedia being an international connection had dropped several times so I was going to try them later because my priority was my daughter. He dud not care. I ended up threatening to call the police if he didn’t open the room. He still refused!!!

We are following up on this unfortunate experience in our hotel, which would never have been, if instead of booking a room for 2 adults while trying to make your 4 year old child stay free, you had reserved the appropriate accommodation for your family . It would also have gone much better if you had recognized this "oversight" and agreed to pay the extra charge of €20 per night for the extra bed for your child. But since you were obstinate and even Expedia customer service could not make you listen to reason, you had to leave our hotel before the end of your stay, which of course we regret. A word of advice, do not try to cheat and inform when booking all the people who will be staying, and you will then have on your arrival the room that will be adapted to your needs, and a much more relaxed welcome.

Unwelcoming check-in policy
Unwelcoming hotel chain policy. Having to wait an extra hour for check-in (3pm) marred the experience. Turns out 2pm check- in is for guests who booked directly with the hotel and 3pm is for everyone else. Otherwise, staff and facilities excellent

The hotel was fine although the restaurant was lacking atmosphere. Also the meal we had in the evening was very poor for such a hotel. The location was not as close to the city centre as we thought and there was no public transport so we had to walk.

Easy to find and really close to La Cite, so easy to walk to the walled town and into the centre of Carcassonne itself. Breakfast was average in terms of choice but staff kept pastries, meat, cheese, etc. well replenished. Reception staff very welcoming. Room comfortable and bathroom bigger than average with a full bath. What more do you need for an overnight stay ?

The room brought a whole new meaning to Spartan. There wasn't even a shower curtain, which was annoying because after a shower the rest of the bathroom floor would be awash and you were forced to use the towels to mop up. Breakfast was limited, (cereal, bread, cheese, cold meat or a boiled egg) but not bad. The hotel was mainly quiet, no noise from other guests or road traffic. But this did mean at night the rattles and whirrs from the air con unit dominated. I have stayed in other Ibis hotels and never had an complaints but our room in this particular Ibis was minimalist to extreme.

We follow your comment, and inform you that our showers are Italian, and they are all equipped with a glass shower screen. We are sorry if this equipment did not bring you all the comforts you would like, but it may be excessive to qualify our Spartan rooms just for that, no?
