A 5-minute walk from the Medieval City and the city center, the Mercure Carcassonne la Cite hotel looks just like a farmhouse in the Languedoc. Whether as a family, on a business trip, or for seminars, you will feel welcome all year round thanks to the hotel warm, refined decor, outdoor swimming pool during the summer season and tree-filled terrace. We also have a restaurant, a bar with a fireplace, and free, enclosed, private car park, helping you enjoy your stay in Carcassonne.
"For those who want to spend their time exploring the walled city, this hotel is a 5-10 minute walk away. Parking is provided in two outdoor lots, but spaces are not monitored for those occupying more than one space and getting a space seems to be a matter of luck. Don’t count on the included parking being available or convenient. There is, however, sufficient room for large delivery trucks to arrive at 0200 to deal with laundry. That happens right outside hotel rooms so be prepared for an interrupted sleep. The rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. The maintenance and housekeeping staff are friendly, helpful and responsive. The breakfast is a disappointment with few choices, uncomfortable seating, and staff that seems unhappy to be there. Do not eat dinner at the hotel. It is overpriced, with mediocre food and the same uncomfortable chairs and unhappy staff. Front desk staff is inconsistent, with some friendly and helpful and others bordering on rude and hostile. There are better choices, I think. "
