Logis Hôtel Château de Palaja

Idyllic setting. Owners Katie and Eric were extremely helpful in helping us plan our days. Room and breakfast were great. Beautiful grounds for hanging out or drinking some wine. Although it’s different ownership, the restaurant next door had excellent food and service, very convenient.

Caty the hostess and her husband Eric were wonderful. Very helpful and extremely nice. Our room was excellent; quite large and comfortable. A beautiful garden and an excellent restaurant next door. Breakfast was good too. I would totally recommend a stay in this place.

Excellent little hotel. Nice relaxed service, good beds and cleanliness. Continental breakfast with fresh bread and good cheeses. Recommended

Near the great walled fortress of Carcassonne, nestled in the small community of Palaja, this hotel surprised us with its friendly owners, comfortable accommodations and lovely setting. It deserves its four stars. Breakfasts (included) were always fresh and delicious. A separately run restaurant in right next door and not to be missed.

A truly lovely hotel and beautiful surroundings. Catherine and her team were wonderful and extremely helpful. We received great suggestions of activities/restaurants around the area, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast delicious. Although the weather was not good, we still managed to relax for a smidgen of sunshine by the pool. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

This looked fabulous in the pictures, but we were disappointed. We had a ground floor comfort room. The decor was very drab, but the bed was super comfortable and the shower was excellent. The sliding door on the bathroom did not lock. The wardrobe seemed to be child size so that anything long draped along the bottom. This maybe because it was also suitable for disabled, but it didn't really work for us. Being on the ground floor meant that we had to keep the curtains closed as anyone walking past could see in. Breakfast on the first morning was fine, but the large tray was just plonked on our table, meaning we had to move our plates out of the way. The second morning was totally different. It was laid out buffet style with croissants, eggs, cheese, cereals, fruit etc - all very nice. Sadly on our last morning, the tray was again plonked on the table and we were given stale croissants! The pool is slightly away from the main building, down some sharp concrete steps, which is not ideal for children or anyone less able bodied. There was also only one sun umbrella - it was very hot during our stay, but if anyone else was using the pool, there was no shade if the umbrella was already in use. The location is great for Carcassonne, but I would not recommend staying here for more than one night. It all seems a bit tired and could do with an update. The saving grace was the fabulous restaurant next door, which is nothing to do with the Hotel. So I would describe this as an average Hotel - certainly not luxury and rather overpriced
