Hotel du Chateau et Spa Carita

Pleasant hotel in great location The hotel is superbly situated three minutes walk from the main entrance to the castle and the departure point for the little train that takes you round below the ramparts for great views. We had a junior suite, which was spacious with attractive traditional decor. Breakfast was served as a set menu with minimal choice but was fresh, plentiful and tasty: good value. The hotel has no lift and staircases are narrow and twisting staircases but staff were pleased to help with luggage. Indeed, staff were pleasant and helpful with everything. There were nice touches like moist towels handed out on our return from a hot day out. The only downsides to our stay were a TV remote held together by cellotape that eventually stopped working, and a great-looking spa bath that did not work for bubbles. (Apparently not included in the room specification, but no information to say that. I only found out after filling the bath, getting in, and pressing the bubbles button to no effect) One point to note is that, while it did not affect our enjoyment of the stay, the hotel is notably smaller and the grounds less extensive than the impression given by website photos.

What an unexpected surprise. The hotel was at the foot of the old castle and also had spa services at a very reasonable price which we took advantage of. We arrived early and the grounds were a lovely place to grab a drink and a nibble to wait for our room. This was an unexpected gem.

Beautiful property. Very friendly staff. Very accomidating. Lovely views.

Good location and service The service, location and breakfast were amazing. The bed was very confortable and the bathroom very good. The only issue us thar the room was a bit dark.

Our family loved this hotel! The staff was so welcoming and the grounds are beautiful. Very convenient for exploring Carcassonne. Our room was clean and quiet and the beds were comfortable. We would definitely book again!

Lovely room although a little small and the bed was only a double. We didn’t like the huge window between the room and the bathroom there is a blind but still see through. The toilet has a glass door too. Very little privacy, luckily we’ve been married a long time but could be tricky for a new relationship!
