Nice hotel, well located, but no amenities.
Well located, beautiful historic building. The room was quite basic, but fine. Site staff was very kind and friendly. But I missed the amenities that a 4-star hotel should have (toothbrush, shower cup....).

The two staff members we engaged with were incredibly kind, helpful and understanding, going beyond what would be expected in order to help us. Even though they were busy, they did not act as if they were busy, but gave us all the time we needed.

The hotel is conveniently located within the walled city. You can walk out of the hotel and access the restaurants and UNESCO heritage site. Other than the location and breakfast, the hotel service left much to be desired. They misadvertize the family room for four with 2 doublebeds. The second bed is a sofa bed (should clearly state that). On our arrival, while the sofa bed was pulled out, there were no sheets, blanket or comforter. We had to call late at night to request. When our train was late, I messaged the hotel. They didn't respond or acknowledge till a day later. The front desk person would not make a dinner reservation for us on arrival and requested that we walk around. When he told us that we will not be able to get into the restaurant next door because of time (without even trying), we were able to walk in and request a table. Overall, very disappointing service by the front desk.

great location. We recommend using their paid private parking just outside the city walls; it worked well. Interesting lobby with old books and board games. We had fun playing the board game Carcasonne in Carcasonne. We recommend staying in old city so you can wander around at night when few people are there.
