Lovely hotel in the medieval city centre

Hotel was great; had lots of character, location was great, excellent breakfast, a comfortable room, and great service overall Our room was a little toasty at night and we would have loved a more effective air con unit. That was our only con.

Nice hotel in centre of city

Staff were lovely and the hotel is nice & central. However room a bit old - we had a ‘deluxe’ room which looked nothing like the pictures; they likely have a range in this category and the one we had was very basic. Lack of amenities such as conditioner and the shampoo had run out & wasnt refilled. Didn’t feel like a 4 star. Lobby area and entrance however were lovely.

This hotel was very fun in that it was located within the walls of Carcasonne. The many tourists disappeared in the evening and the town became quiet and beautiful!

Dishonest

We had booked a superior room, but they placed us in a standard room instead—smaller, with only one window overlooking the garden and no terrace, despite what was advertised on their website. My daughter had experienced the same issue before. This is truly dishonest management with questionable practices. I strongly advise against staying here.

The Hotel Le Donjon is one of the most unique places I've ever stayed. It was a great experience. From our room we could see the Chateau Comtal, the castle of Carcassonne. The hotel is right in the middle of La Cite Medievale, near the Aude Gate. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. It was great staying in the walled city. We could bring our purchases back to the room easily. The hotel also has a secured parking lot that it shares with the nearby Hotel de La Cite. We would definitely stay here again and request the same room!

Cet hĂŽtel n'est pas un 4****

Mauvaise experience, tres decue par la prise en charge au parking en pleine nuit avec le froid. Le chauffeur a pris nos bagages Ă  24e le parking ! Mais nous a Ă  peine montrer le chemin pour se rendre Ă  pieds Ă  l’hĂŽtel !! Bienvenue... La chambre superieure une cata... j’ai volontairement pris une catĂ©gorie au-dessus de la standard mais on est trĂšs loin d’un 4 etoiles. Si vous avez l’habitude de voyager et de faire des hotels alors soyons francs, c’est entre 2 et 3 etoiles! Moquette sale, salle de bain en plastique digne d'une categorie 2*, qui doit absolument ĂȘtre refaite! On a du reclamer gel douche car contenant vide (Ă©videment 1ere douche au shampoing, quasi vide aussi), quĂ©mander des mouchoirs, il n’en restait que 2 (ce sont des choses qui se verifient avant de proposer la chambre aux clients....), brosse des toilettes degueulasse, pas de bouteille d’eau d’accueil, pas de machine Ă  cafĂ© et mini bar (pourtant indiquĂ©s dans la rĂ©servation). J’ai prĂ©cisĂ© avoir un petit chien, supplĂ©ment oui volontiers mais zero gamelle ou autre (contrairement Ă  d'autres hĂŽtels qui ont trĂšs souvent une attention vu le prix supplĂ©ment que ça coute...!). Le seul point postif c’est l’emplacement de l’hotel en pleine citĂ© mĂ©diĂ©vale mais parking mal indiquĂ© (non informĂ© sur la rĂ©servation ou tout bonnement sur google). Je dĂ©conseille fortement!

HÎtel avec un emplacement idéal dans la Cité. Le personnel du parking, du service petit déjeuner et celui de la réception sont tous irréprochables. La suite mériterait un petit rafraichissement. Excellent petit déjeuner.
