We decided to treat ourselves to a couple of nights at the Hotel de la Cite before hiring a car and exploring the Ariège. I had looked at other hotels in Carcassone but thought that staying inside the city walls would be more romantic for our first holiday together. It was a bit pricey but well worth it!

We stayed here for a week and this hotel is up there with the best. We booked the long-stay rate direct with the hotel which was exceptional value for money. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a garden suite which was absolutely perfect in every way from the comfortable bed to the vast array of toiletries in the bathroom (which... more

We had a eight course meal in their resturant which was very nice and the service exceptional. The hotel also have a barge on the canal de midi and a two hour cruise with... more

I can't rate this hotel highly enough. My husband, 3-year old daughter and I have just returned from an 8-night stay. Pricey ? Not really, when you check out the hotel's attractive long-stay rates. We breakfasted like kings in the hotel's Chez Saskia restaurant then ate out and about each evening - there are so many restaurants in Carcassonne that... more

Hotel de La Cite is perfect. Luxury without the fuss. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone spoke English and French. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Elegant. And the setting--within the medieval walls of Carcassonne--is unbelievable. Is this hotel and city a fantasy? Stay for four or five days and unwind in the gardens or hang out by... more
