    The Internet was a bit ropey, I’m afraid. But I’m sure Charles will put that right!

    La Rapière is a terrific little hotel, minutes from the gate of the old Cité at Carcassonne. It is quite charming and relaxed with a nice courtyard for sitting having a drink. The room was excellent: large and comfortable with a great bathroom. The staff are also friendly and helpful. We loved it.

    Very well located, looks up to the castle walls. Parking is open but on the grounds. Room wasn't exciting but fine. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was a highlight. Admittedly not many nearby options but here was cosy, nearly full, with attentive staff, good food and an outlook over the courtyard to the castle walls as they lit up over night.

    On arrival appearance of hotel looks more like a bar area and reception was difficult to locate. Toilet flush panel had large crack in it. Noisy people talking outside in bar area til past 2'0 clock on second night, kept us awake.

    Lovely spacious room with an enormous terrace and view of the castle. Access to city was across the road, for all the sights, restaurants shops etc. Breakfast was good, staff very helpful and friendly.

    Very convenient for the entrance to the citadel being only a very short walk away, it also has its own car park. I really enjoyed our one night stay the staff were friendly & helped when we had a problem with our hire car .... Much appreciated! A first rate buffet breakfast is also included. Really liked the vibe of this place & would definitely use again.

    The room was downstairs (basement) so was rather dark. Perhaps the rooms could do with updating. The wifi was not operational in our room during our 3 night stay. An alternative wifi was supplied but did not operate in our room. Other than that all was good. The plus points easily outweighed the gripes.

    The staff were to a man and woman very friendly. There is a very good restaurant onsite with very reasonable prices. As to location, excellent right across the road from the Castle. Onsite parking at no additional charge - always a welcome thing.

    In our room especially from the shower room, there we noticed an unpleasant smell as soon as we walked in. There was an air freshener prominently in the bedroom area which suggests the hosts were trying to mask it. ( However the room and facilities all looked very clean and it didn't spoil our stay for the reasons above)

    Wonderful location , so convenient. Very comfortable beds, lovely breakfast and extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Great view of the Cite walls from our room.

    Restaurant quality ok, nothing wrong with it but pricey compared to others nearby. Just about made up for by the great view while eating on the sun terrace and bar!

    Great location, 5 min walk from airport shuttle bus stop, 5 mins to city walls, with lovely view up to the City. Good amount of space in our very clean room. Daily cleaning. Staff very friendly, didn't laugh at my bad French! Ideal fresh continental breakfast, with good coffee!

    Could have done without the square continental type pillows! Can’t really think of anything else we didn’t like.

    The location was excellent. The property had a great ‘feel’ about it. It was simple, unfussy and relaxed. It was also very clean and nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff. Lovely thick towels! A good continental style breakfast and everything was very fresh. We were fortunate in being allocated a great room with a terrace that had a first class view of the old walled city.

    Nothing but this Hotel is a very well updated version of a traditional French family hotel. If you go there expecting a bland international style hotel where you could be in Tashkent Tangier or Timbuktu then you will be disappointed. My wife and I loved it.

    Excellent view of the citie. Good on site parking. Room was good. Good value for money. Decent continental breakfast. Staff obliging and friendly. Their English was better than my French. We ate there first night, our views are divided. I thought the food was good my wife less so. The cheedeboard was excellent, one is enough for two. .Some good wines on the list. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends.
