Comodissimo per visitare la città medievale
Hotel situato in un palazzo splendido, nel cuore della città medievale.
La stanza era carina anche se un po’ piccola
Il problema erano il materasso e i cuscini, veramente scomodi, non ho quasi dormito per due giorni
Personale gentile e ambienti abbastanza puliti

Wonderful location
Always love staying at the Donjon. The location is perfect, staff are friendly, great breakfast. The only negative is the bathroom. We had 3 rooms and all 3 the shower water leaked all over the floor despite numerous attempts to stop this. Also a couple of our travellers nearly slipped in the shower. The surface is very slippery.

Peaceful, heart of the Cite
We were greeted by a lovely friendly receptionist who quickly checked us in and showed us to our room.
The room was large and comfortable with a seating area and a raised bed area. The bed was large and comfortable with lovely linen and very comfortable. The bathroom had a separate shower and a bath and the toilet was separate which was really nice.
We had a fridge which was handy and the TV was by the bed and was easily positioned towards the bed.
The room overlooked the garden and was very peaceful. It was too cold to sit outside though there was a table and chairs if we had wanted to do so.
The hotel is in the heart of the Cite and is close to lots of bars and restaurants. At this time of the year (late November) not all are open and some are only open on certain days or times so choice is smaller for eating in the evening but we found that the food was good at all the places we chose.
We were very happy with our stay this being our 4th stay at this hotel and this was definitely the best room we have had at this hotel. We will no doubt be staying here again and really recommend this hotel

Its a great place to stay when you want to visit Carcassone and be inside the walls. The hotel gardens was very nice. The only issue with the room was the carpet and the toilet (very low seat and toilet water splashed onto the seat when you flushed).

Our room 22 had a broken toilet and staff couldn’t care less about it … we only stayed 1 night so we survived but the hotel personnel was arrogant and dismissive about toilet not flushing down . Location was good, we didn’t have breakfast at the hotel . Garden and private garden seating area are lovely .
