This hotel was rated highly and priced as though it was a high end property - it is not. It is an ancient chateau remodeled into a 1970s motel with amateur carpentry. Upon arrival the manager attempted to upsell us on-site breakfast and booking a dinner reservation through her website instead of showing us to our room. Our room was surprising, as it was not attractive or comfortable. There was a giant space heater to be plugged in because the proprietor turns off the heat at night - in December! The bathroom door was an ill fitting rolling door that did not provide privacy. We were happy to check out the next day. I could not recommend this hotel.
Nous n’avons pu dîner mais j’aurai dû appeler plus tôt
Pas de cafetière dans la chambre
Pas de petite bouteille d’eau gratuite
Petit déjeuner seulement à partir de 8h30
Notre petite chambre au dernier etage de la maison etait vraiment decevante car petite, sombre et tres sommairement meublee (une chaise branlante et un lit pousse contre le mur). Il y avait egalemement une petite salle de bains avec cabine de douche basique.
A l'arrivee la proprietaire nous a immediatement dit que la chambre et salle de bains ne seraient pas nettoyees pendant notre sejour et que si nous voulions des serviettes propres, il fallait les lui demander. J'aurais prefere savoir ca la reservation et ca a ete une mauvaise surprise de plus.
Je poste des photos et vous laisse juger.
Village bien situe a cote de Caracassonne et petit dejeuner copieux
We stayed in a spacious suite for 2 adults & 2 children. Breakfast was lovely and generous, inside or in the garden, depending on the weather. We enjoyed the calm (and clean swimming pool) away from the crowds of Carcassonne, yet just 7min from it by car. The hotel is run by a couple and they are extremely busy, not to say stretched. There was no room service (making beds etc) due to Covid but it is nice and clean. Would be a great place for an outside party!
Tel bel endroit à proximité de Carcassonne et des montagnes noires. Nous avons apprécié le lieu et la qualité de l’accueil. C’est une très bonne base pour visiter le cité et les châteaux cathares.
Toute la famille a beaucoup apprécié cette petite halte dans ce coin de paradis. L'accueil a été extra. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié La bibliothèque remplie de BD! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir
Lovely location. Very very nice staff - the receptionist and the owners were charming and helpful. Pretty building in a picturesque village close to Carcassonne. Good facilities.
Accueil très chaleureux et personnel toujours souriant.
L'isolation des bruits et du froid pourrait être améliorée mais le coin est très calme et le chauffage fonctionne très bien.
Very welcoming with comfortable rooms and good breakfast. No evening meal but there is an excellent restaurant in the same building. Easy to get into Carcassonne and gives you a very tranquil place to stay. We were here when devastating floods hit the area and the village of Palaga. We had no problems thanks to the attentive service we had from the owners who did everything possible to make our stay perfect.
Loved our 5 night stay at this hotel. Very comfortable and quiet but still only a short drive from Carcassonne. The manager is very helpful with suggestions for sights. Adjacent restaurant is very good too. Highly recommend!!!
Nous avons juste fait un arrêt d'une nuit dans cet hôtel et nous avons été charmés par ce lieu très agréable, calme...
Un accueil parfait , il règne dans cet hôtel une belle ambiance.
La chambre spacieuse très propre.
le restaurant aussi très bonne table et bel accueil également.
Enfin bref une belle découverte et le plaisir d'y revenir.

Un poco cutre para un 4 estrellas
La verdad es que esperaba algo más de un hotel de 4 estrellas, si entrara sin saberlo diría que se trata de un 3 estrellas. Habitación pequeña y desayuno escaso. Bien para aparcar, parking gratis en el recinto.
