Hôtel Montmorency & Spa

The location was superb for our needs, being just a couple of minutes walk from the Medieval City. The rooms were very comfortable, if small. We were each in deluxe double rooms but, if there had been two people in each room, it would have been a squash. The decor was eccentric and the colour scheme "unusual" i.e. wallpaper in Barbie pink and orange! It wouldn't have been my choice but it worked! Breakfast was certainly adequate and fresh and the apple juice supplied in a carafe was really good. and the garden terrace was a lovely place to sit, read and have a drink in the evenings, overlooked by the City.

Liked the location as it was a few minutes walk to the Narbonnaise Gate of the Medieval City. Liked being able to use the pool and bar of Hotel du Chateau across the road. This is where the reception to both hotels can be found. Very helpful and cheerful staff. We chose a room with a garden view which was quiet. We were able to visit the city in the early morning and again in the evenings when it was less busy. Caught the bus from the airport.....show the driver your hotel address and he tells you which stop you need. For the hotel it is Cite, stop 4- the last one. Then a short downhill walk to Hotl du Chateau and the reception.

Friendly staff, great pool and jacuzzi area. The bar/restaurant area was really nice with great views facing the castle.

THE HOTEL | An impressive approach to the hotel as we arrived and saw the hotel for the first time. We loved the gardens, the bar - the chill-out music, (I Shazamed nearly every song♡). The interior was definitely x4 star. THE POOL | The swimming pool area was lovely, the Jacuzzi was the heat of a hot bath. The intercom at the pool to connect you to the hotel was a wonderful concept. We chose the right times when the pool area was unpopulated, which was perfect, and ordered alcoholic beverages to drink in the sun. THE ROOM | Our room was lovely, well equipped, but sadly didn't have any outdoor space as we we're on the 1st floor. THE LOCATION | WOW! Couldn't fault it. Sitting in the hotel garden and seeing the Cite illuminated was beautiful and a short 2 minute walk into the castle itself. THE CITE | What a beautiful medieval setting, walk all around and you'll get to the Wine Bars which were all 100% beautiful. THE AIRPORT | A 10-12 minute trip under €20 no need to hire a car here, we walked approximately 12,000 steps every day. Flights from BOH. Mondays & Fridays. Ideal for a week or so, or a short break. THE (road) TRAIN | Walk out of the hotel and turn left out of the hotel, go up the hill, will take you all around Carcassonne Town and will save your legs! THE RIVER | A real wildlife treat, to see birds, ducks and other wildlife ♡. To get to it, from the hotel, cross over the road towards the car park and follow the pavement and you'll come into the town, keep walking and you'll come to the bridge. Go over the bridge to get wonderful photos and to get into Carcassonne itself. THE STAFF | We can only score 10/10 for the lovely staff here. We don't speak French so they did their best to converse in English. Bar staff and house-keeping we're all smiles and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you all. ♡♡♡ HOLIDAY SCORE | 95% ♡♡♡

The property is excellent. The parking is easy and secure. Easy access around the property. The property is walking distance to the cite.
