Smart and newly built, from the outside this hotel looks OK. Its on the inside where the problems are. The breakfast was fine for the usual continental stuff, the hotel was clean. main problem was what happened to friends of ours staying in the next room to us. Cash was taken from a wallet inside a suitcase in a locked... More

When we two septagenarians showed up with our suitcases in tow, nobody offered to help us with them. Aside from that, the hotel is quite ok. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. And it is a 5-minute walk (really!) from the Cité. Breakfast was average, neither inspiring nor bad. All in all, an ok stay. More

I would have given this hotel a rating of four were it not for the morning staff who I had the misfortune of encountering today. I arrived, heavy rucksack in tow and hoping for a reasonably pain and hassle free experience and this proved not to be the case. The hotel was booked in a hurry last night (directly via... More

We stayed here for only one night during a 3 week trip of SW France, as I wanted to see Carcassonne and could only fit in a day trip in our itinerary. The room was newly remodeled, and as functional as could be for such a small space. The bed was flanked by one small cabinet/shelving units on my side... More

We stayed in Carcassonne as a stop over driving from Lyon to Biarritz, for just one night. As such we just wanted reasonably priced accommodation close to the castle with parking. The Espace fit the bill, though is definitely more like a good motel than a hotel. Rooms are small but clean and the toilet is virtually part of the... More

We loved staying so close to the castle and being able to see it from the breakfast room. The rooms are very small but new and clean. It was so nice to wake up in the morning and smell freshly baked croissants. Great French breakfast. Definitely would stay here on our next visit. The let down was the lack of... More

For the price we paid at this hotel, it was fantastic. Our room overlooked the old city, and at night the fortress lights looked gorgeous from our window (not that we spent any time in the room aside from sleeping). The room was very clean, and very neat. The beds were the most comfortable of our travels thus far, and... More

My wife and I spent two pleasant nights in the Espace Cite last summer. The best feature of the hotel was it's proximity to the walled city of Carcassonne. It was less than a five minute walk to the front gates, which was especially nice when we wanted to explore the city at night (i.e., we felt quite comfortable walking... More

Clean, modern hotel with friendly staff. Rooms cleaned and bedding/ towels changed daily. Some people have mentioned in their review that the wet room bathroom is off-putting but we thought this was a clever, very modern use of space with modern fixtures and fittings. Breakfast is extra, at 8 euros per head, it is continental and everything was fresh and... More

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Carcassonne and want to be (very) close to the old walled Cité. There is even some free parking on site (as well as a paid underground car park). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are on the compact and basic side, but are kept scrupulously clean. The... More
