Tribe Carcassonne

I think the hotel is constructed so that ALL the rooms have a view of the old city - certainly it would be very disappointing not to have that view, which is spectacular. We arrived at night and looked across the river to the floodlit walls - outstanding. There are hotels in the old city itself, but this one may well have the best view of it from the outside. While we were there the temperature hit 40 celsius (104 fahrenheit), and the AC in the room was absolutely fine with that - a great relief. Also the swimming pool, while small, was good to cool down in.

Beautiful views of the cité, even from the pool (which I hadn't realised)! The beds are large and very comfortable, and the location is ideal, exactly between the old town and the cité, allowing you to walk to multiple locations in around 10 minutes. The shower room was very clean and modern, and the separate shampoo and conditioner, along with shower gel, was really appreciated.

The room was a really good size, a comfy bed. The bathroom was spacious and had a good supply of toiletries and lotions which was nice. The views from the restaurant on the 4th floor and the rooftop were really good. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Access to hotel from undergound carpark was brilliant. Staff were very helpful and lots of staff at reception to help with anything Spectacular view from roof top bar and restaurant of the citadel as hotel was just over the old bridge; easy to walk to various places of interest. Did not have breakfast so not sure about food AC worked so well in sweltering hot climate of 39 degrees Oh yes and very comfy beds!

The property was modern and had a really good vibe. It’s not like a regular hotel with a reception area for booking it was a couple of young French individuals sitting by a laptop in black trousers and black branded T-shirts booking you in which to us took the stuffiness out of the way hotels operate. It was more like meeting friends who greeted you on your arrival. All staff spoke very good English was language wasn’t an issue. The hotel is quirky with dark walls mood lighting similar to the rooms but it works. The room we had wasn’t the biggest but it was comfortable and the toilet was separated from the shower room which was a blessing, especially for anyone who has a partner who spends ages in the shower. The hotel is decorated with art throughout which is available for purchase. The breakfast was typically French with various selection of cheeses, meats, cereals and yogurt along with cakes and fruit. Overall this was a very comfortable snd pleasant stay, much more of an experience than a hotel stay. All the staff were very accommodating, friendly and professional, my only disappointment was that I didn’t get anyone’s name to give them a shout out but all the girls in the reception area were fabulous. We checked out on the day of the Euro 2024 game between Spain and France so not too sure what the mood will be in the morning but I’m sure this wouldn’t impact the staff too much.
