La Maison Vieille Maison d'Hôtes & Gîtes

Really nice place to stay. Room was lovely, was quite big it was clean, well maintainedand the bed was huge! Really nice choice for breakfast too. Catherine was very friendly and easy to get in touch with, answering a couple of queries before we arrived and was on hand during our stay also. Location wise you couldn't ask for better being about a five minute walk from the Cite and right next to the footbridge that crosses the river to the newer part of the town. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Carcassonne. Also if your wanting to visit in April make sure you visit nearer the end of the week as we found that quite a few restaurants/bars opened Thursday to Sunday and were closed the other days.

Nothing we had a great time

Superb room which was enormous. Lovely views across to the castle. Ac was great as was the rain shower. Breakfast was spot on and freshly baked daily. Perfect locati9n between La Cite and the old town. Plenty of eateries within walking distance. As a solo female I felt extremely safe and eating alone didn't feel uncomfortable.

Booking.com only took a credit card to reserve the room. Be aware you have to pay cash or transfer to the hotel so don't bank on using a credit card. Otherwise the accommodation was faultless and like something out of a coffee table book!

Fantastic location, walk up to the old cite in 10mins, easy parking close by free, and flat so bringing a bags to Maison very easy Very unremarkable front door, however once main door opened - hallways goes out to breakfast and lounge area and Beautifully presented inner courtyard with huge olive tree and seating. Very large rooms, strong wifi and most req’s catered for. Great breakfast and Marilyn(?) so sorry if I have your name incorrect was very very nice and helpful even though we didn’t speak each others language !!

My only areas for improvement: -To add a clothes drying rack. Our room “Barbacane”had an enormous shower recess that could have had a portable drying rack for our “smalls” washing but none avail even though I asked. -There were a Lot of beautiful decorative items, however the space was taken up with these and very little room to put your bags and toiletries where you needed them.

We were delayed in our arrival, but our host, Catherine, was very accommodating and helpful. Her B&B is beautiful, with a lovely inner courtyard, and the rooms are large and elegant. The breakfast room is lovely and welcoming and the breakfast selections are varied and high quality, with lots of homemade and delicious offerings. The location on rue Trivalle puts you in the center of things, including a variety of excellent restaurants and a short walk to La Cité.

We loved everything about our two night stay at Catherine's and it was a highlight of our bike trip along the Canal du Midi! Catherine also accommodated storing our bikes during our stay.

The lady who owned the property was very kind and welcoming. She also helped us book a taxi when leaving which was great. The decor in the whole property was beautiful. Very rustic chic and tasteful details. The room was spacious and beds comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful. I loved the courtyard and communal breakfast area. The location is fabulous. Right between the walled town and the city. We were allowed keep our cases at the property after check out which was helpful. Lovely stay and I will definitely recommend it to friends and family visiting the area.

There is nothing I didn’t like but perhaps when staying more than two nights a change of towels could be provided.

The room was huge and well appointed. The location is excellent with a reasonable walk to either the old city or over the river to the new town. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the same street. The breakfast is continental with a good range of choices including gluten free items. There is also a delightful enclosed garden area where you can take breakfast or simply relax.

There are only 2 issue. Firstly the drawers provided are not lined and they were dusty so we didn't feel inclined to use them. Secondly you have to pay in cash and not by card, this adds additional expense and effort that you don't need. The reason given is that there is only a short season so it is not worth investing in card payment facilities but this is weak as virtually everywhere these days takes card payment for far smaller sums.

The location of the hotel was excellent, near the castle, and the room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, plus air conditioning! Breakfast was great, and staff most attentive.

We had trouble checking in, in that no one answered the doorbell or the phone when we called. We finally sent an email and received a code to get in. I think staff should be on hand at all times during check in period. Also suggest a hand rail going up the 2 flights of stairs should be put in.

I have never ever given a 10 reviewing at booking. com but this is the perfect moment to start. I would actually need an 11. This was by far the best place we stayed in and this is especially thanks to the people working there. We felt very welcomed, they did pay a lot of attention to detail, even brought us some cheese & cold cuts when we were just sitting in the garden enjoying the sun and a bottle of wine. The rooms are really spacious and beautifully furnished (again, a lot of attention to detail). The breakfast is great as well, with homemade cakes & marmelade. All guests are sharing a big table for breakfast which was a great opportunity to get in touch with other guests and share recommendations for places to visit. It was just the perfect place to spend a long weekend. Thanks so much for everything! We will definetely visit again!

Nothing. Honestly, nothing could have been better.

Breakfast was very good with a nice selection of items. Hotel situated on a pretty, old street with bars and restaurants very close by, but still quiet. 15 mins walk to old castle and town. Nice large room.

Breakfast items not replenished, we had to keep asking for milk, butter, bowls etc. Also not enough tables for every guest if many turned up at the same time. Towels thin but nice toiletries. Room not cleaned every day, and we had to ask for it to be cleaned on day 3.

An exceptional property in every way!!! We could not have asked for a more beautiful place to stay in Carcassonne! The room was huge and stunning! The bed was super comfortable and the bath was devine! Breakfast was superb and far surpassed any expectations! Delicious and wonderful selection of food for breakfast. The location was perfect. Fabulous hosts. This is definitely a place we would highly recommend to anyone. We would love to return one day!

Absolutely nothing to dislike. It was perfect!!!
