We stayed at this hotel during our time in Carcassone. It's nice and modern, and meets your needs…read more We were located on the 2nd floor, and our balcony looks out towards the fortress. As long as you're on the 2nd floor or above, you should try to request the room with the view of the fortress! :) Free wi-fi. We also had dinner here in the evening, they cooked up some lamb, veggies, and dessert. It was OK...not too shabby, beats having to venture out to find some food in the dark.

It was an easy decision to make; to stay inside or outside the castle walls for our night in town…read more Having a view of the castle walls from the outside with the river running in front of it was ideal and close to breathtaking. The staff were very nice, there was free WiFi, and the room was the best we had during the whole trip. The view from our 2nd floor corner room was perfect during the day; http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/W8S8AKskhUePNmq63L-vdw?select=b5TV1WLth4f_RfLCfbDoFA#b5TV1WLth4f_RfLCfbDoFA And even better at night; http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/W8S8AKskhUePNmq63L-vdw?select=b5TV1WLth4f_RfLCfbDoFA#J0-tqvs6zAaQ04zF42bb0g I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to Carcassonne.

What a beautiful well apportioned hotel in the more modern area (yeah, modern as in built in the…read more1800s as opposed to 1200s around the walled in castle!) of the mountainous city. 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!

The daily special included a nice salad and good apple tart for dessert. Unfortunately, the cassoulet was very dry, especially when compared to the one we had next door the night before. No liquid to soak up with the bread. My partners steak was tough with a lot of gristle. We may try this again for lunch or a lighter meal.

WOW. This place is JUST AMAZING!!!! I am so glad I looked this place up on Yelp! I was in Europe…read more(Portugal, Spain, and France) for 2 weeks and this location was in the TOP 3 of all the meals I had for the duration of my stay. My family (party of 7) came for lunch and we had the course meal. We sat outside and surrounded by so much of the Carcassone architecture. Wonderful backdrops for pictures. We were worried when we walked in because there was no one else there... but that's probably because we came before they started serving lunch... My goodness, everything we ate was so delicious! Like most places in Europe, the course meals take a little while and are not quick...so make sure you have time. The quality, service, price, and presentation were just amazing. We were all WOWed! I spoke little French, which helped... but then we ended up having a waiter who spoke English. Definitely made the experience much more memorable. If you are in Carcassone, stop here for a meal!! You will not be disappointed!

Subdued interior to make the artistic food have the limelight. The experience was flavorful from waking in the restaurant to ending with a five course meal. It's the best restaurant in town and I can understand why it has 2 Michelin stars. Well deserved. I ate slowly to enjoy the passionate and art put into the food. C'est tres tres buon.

If you are American, stay clear of this place. They have made their mind up about you before you…read morewalk in the door. Lets start from the top. Pull up to the restaurant and no valet. Okay. Drop my wife off at the front while I go to park the car. When she checks in, "it's just you!?!" Umm, no, "he's parking the car." Weird. Then when I walk in she says "Happy birthday or something like that." Verbatim. I had emailed them ahead of time to tell them it was our honeymoon and 1 year anniversary. After being seated we weren't greeted for a while. Then we were greeted twice, both of whom said the same thing. "Have you been greeted?" What? Ever heard of marking a table? The second greeting was the assistant sommelier, a young kid whom I knew more about wine than. He offered us welcome cocktails and described them well, but they ended up on the check. What? We had pre-ordered the mid-level tasting menu, but when we got there we wanted to add one dish we saw on a different tasting. The back-server (never really saw the lead) said, "You want more?!" Straight out of Oliver Twist. But the subtext was, "fat Americans" all the way. Ummm, sue me, we are in the Languedoc for one night and I want an oyster in the meal. They obliged. Wish we hadn't asked. The oyster was over-manipulated and no taste of brine or ocean. Forward to a course or two later and my wife gets a sharp sliver of bone in her venison and cuts her mouth. No real apology from anyone, they just refired the dish. Then another course they served us faulty over-oxidized wine and tried to tell me that was the style of the wine. What, who gave these somms their jobs? My wife and I aren't somms, but we knew the wine was off and they debated us on it. It wasnt a sherry for crying out loud. I did my research afterwards, and no, it wasnt supposed to be that oxidized. Then upon leaving we asked for our coat and jacket. They gave my wife her coat and said to me, "you had a jacket?" Yeah, I came to this two star Michelin with a shirt, tie, and suit pants with no jacket. What? If it was a misstep on my part to rake my jacket off before dinner, a simple "jackets are required in the dining room" would have done the trick, prior to the meal. As they were searching for my jacket which was right in front of them and matched my suit pants the chef was saying farewell and thank you to other patrons. Not a word to us, like, "hello Madame so sorry we made your mouth bleed" This place is the new definition of resting on their laurels. Most of the dishes were very forgettable, I only remember one course, and have no idea what dessert was. Dear Michelin, please revisit and re-evaluate so that people don't go spend $700 (550 Euro) to feel uncomfortable and belittled. The only positive memorable thing was the amazing cheese cart at the end of the meal. But hey, any restaurant could go buy a huge gueridon and 40 kinds of cheese.
