The room was spacious and comfortable, though a bit cold at night.

I would have liked better cleanliness, as we found some hairs in the shower, dirty water trails on the bath and even a piece of broken gold chain on the floor. I'm not sure the cleaning service did the bathrooms or floor, and the moldy silicone on the bath made it look old an unattended. Not the worst for one night, but there is definitely room from improvement. I know many customers who would find this level of cleanliness quite unacceptable.

The staff was really friendly and made things easy and smooth.

Great location and parking was definitely worth it. With very few modifications, this hotel could very easily had been five stars, but hygiene needs to improve urgently.

The room was spacious and clean. We did not know about the height restriction for parking, but we found a space nearby. We loved the location - just a few minutes walk to the Cite. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We didn't use the kitchen facilities but there looked to be everything you'd need. We liked that there was a TV in the lounge and also in the bedroom. This was a stopover for one night but we could have stayed much longer. The price was great value for a property with self catering facilities so close to the Cite.

+ Good location to walk to the cite or the castle
+ Relatively quiet
+ Decent size apartment with seating area/crockery/cutlery/microwave
+ Bathroom with towels, hairdryer, soap and hot water
+ Bedroom was ok in size with wardrobe, safe and bedlinen
- Some bed linen had stains and the bed was pretty uncomfortable
- No cleaning material or dish cloths in the kitchen (but one can purchase for 5 Euro)
- No kettle or coffee/tea - so please bring your own
- We broken car window/glass right in front of the hotel - so you might want to spend the extra money for a secure parking space if you travel by car

Option to purchase breakfast at an extra charge - we didnt use it, so cannot comment.

The ironically named Adonis hotel...

See photos...
Air conditioning was faulty (in almost 40 degree heat) - reported to reception but nothing was done
Bed looked like a crime scene
Sheets were stained
Window was faulty and would not open
Door handle was loose
Bathroom was dirty and there were hairs from previous tenants
Ended up leaving at 3:30am due to the broken air conditioning finally giving up and leaking everywhere but there was nowhere to leave the key card so we had to just shove it under the hotel's front door

GREAT LOCATION, GOOD PRICE, SECURE PARKING

This apart hotel is ok for a one or two night stay.
We had a one bed apartment with a stove top and microwave but no kettle or coffee making facilities.
The decor is tired but clean. No plug for bath. Shower just ok but bath would need a mat in for showering as slippery and curved. The receptionist was nice spoke good english and was helpful. It is a great location for visiting the Cite du Carcassonne which it is right beside. Just down the road cross the bridge is a short walk into Carcassonne itself. The location and price are great. Also the secure parking is very good on site.

Reception was welcoming and spacious. Staff were very pleasant and nothing was any bother. Breakfast was self service with good choices of cheese, bread and pastries. Parking was reasonable at 10 euros per night in a secure under building car park. The hotel was very close to the \"old city\" and the city centre. Both within easy walking distance.

I would not stay here again!

The only good thing about this hotel is that it is a super close walk into the Carcassonne wall. When we checked in, the lady at the counter was not very nice. We had three rooms in this hotel, and one of the rooms wreeked of cigarette smoke. I went to the counter to complain, and she reluctantly gave me another room and kept asking if I used the bathroom in the room that smells like cigarette. The air conditioning did not work in all three of the rooms and I went down to discuss it and she told me some BS story that they all had to be on at the same time to work, and that it was cool enough outside and just open the window. The windows have no screens so bugs come flying in at night with a light, but it was so sweltering in the room that I had to go buy a fan and leave the windows open all night and listen to the loud cars drive by and bugs flying i’ll my room. there were stains in the ceiling and mold in the bathroom.
The mattresses were sitting on low pedestals which were almost on the floor. The shower and room were dingy and there was almost no water pressure. The mattress just had a flat sheet laying over the top of it and no top sheet.
A good attitude goes a long way and the receptionists attitude fell super short.
If I had it to do all over again, I would not have stayed here.

We had arranged ahead of time for a late check in, but I had not been sent the instructions for how to retrieve our keys. When I called the emergency number, I was rudely informed that I was an idiot for expecting anyone to help me at 10pm, when reception closed at 7 and I was out of luck (my paid reservation was not going to be honored). Then 5 minutes later, mysteriously, I got a text with the instructions and got into our very large, sparsely furnished 2 story apartment. There was a double futon couch in the main room, a small kitchen with a table, 4 chairs. Upstairs, was the bathroom and master bedroom- no windows in either, and it was very hot, but the a/c unit was pouring out water as well as cool air, so we had to turn it off or risk ruining the floors. We sure were not going to call the emergency number again!!

The location was great, so close to the Carcassonne walled city! The breakfast in the morning was also very nice.

They were happy to let us leave our luggage, but reception closed from 12-2 for lunch and we would have been unable to retrieve our bags during that time.

The internet connection is good. Well located, 8 min walk from the medieval city of carcasonne .

Other than that, unfortunately, everything was bad.
This shouldn't be classidied as a hotel. It is more of a guest house. I took their more expensive rooms. It was old and run down. Certainly did not look lole the pictures (which were probably taken 20 years ago). The furniture seems to have been purchaed at a flea market.

In regards to the reception
I arrived a little early so my room was not reay. That was fine as i was able to leave my bags in the lobby (they did not have a closed off room for luggage).

When i came back at 15:00, the hotel was closed (ive never seem a hotel close down). I had to come back. The clerk forgot to tell me that they close between lunch and 15:30. She mentioned it when i made my check in when thenroom.was ready at 1530. Not sure why they close for half the day....

In the room. Again, very old and not really clean. They had a small safe, only large enough for a passport and camera . Was bot able to put my tablet in it. I left my passport and keys but them found put that it was not working anyways....juat not perperly properly maintained. On the bright side, the bed , although old, was confortable.

Adonis was a pretty basic experience, but it was fine for one night and the location was perfect for exploring the old walled city. The room was a good size and had a little kitchen, which we didn't use. The bed was large enough but the mattress was very thin, making the bed pretty hard. Very nice breakfast, included in our price. Paid extra for parking, but they let us keep the car there well after checkout time while we went to exploring. Much appreciated.

Great Location and Spacious but Sparse.

Fantastic quiet location near to river Aude and with lovely views to the, lit up at night, Carcassonne castle and with a Castle entrance nearby, although closed due to fallen tree on this occassion, but Barbican entrance, possibly an easier route, not too far away. Room was warm with aircon and reception friendly and efficient although €9.50 for breakfast wasn't too tempting. The main room was large, but lacking in furniture so felt strange with a lot of empty space - the sofa bed was comfortable to sleep in but terrible to sit on, thankfully the dining chairs were comfortable. The kitchen unit was small, but useful, but there were a few issues with the light bulb blown at the entrance and the light/fan hob hood switch also broken. The bathroom had a heater which worked well and the main room as well as bedroom had TVs, although it was not possible to set version original and one remote probably needed new batteries. Overall the room was good value for a 2 night stay, but with a little attention it could be special and somewhere where you would want to stay longer.

Units are individual studio apartments surrounding a central patio/walkway, lovely Continental-style breakfast available. Literally at the foot of the medieval walled-city of Carcassonne, one can walk up stairs to the lower curtain wall or around the city walls to the main gate/front entrance to Carcassonne in 15-20 minutes. An excellent restaurant named Le Jardin D'Ete can be found about 7-10 minutes walk from the Adonis Carcassonne, near the Medieval Bridge.

Better choices to stay in Carcassonne

While the hotel is close to the walled fortress it is still away from from the main town. I would not stay here again but her rather closer to the town. We were in the last room down the hall and had no WiFi. The room was rather dusty and there was dirt on the bathroom floor. The “kitchenette” was lacking many items including a kettle and coffee maker.

On the plus side, the rooms are huge. We had a separate bedroom and living room. The place is a bit worn and dated but very spacious.

It is an easy walk uphill through the back gate of the walled fortress/Cité

There is a nice outdoor patio with lots of tables at the reception area and many people bring food and wine and eat out here.

One night here was enough. A poorly designed room layout made no sense and is inconvenient. A bathroom upstairs and a toilet downstairs, which had no hand washing facility is just one example.

Lucky my room was in the ground floor or then I really would have been grumpy. My room was of a generous size and clean and tidy but the bathroom only had a hand held shower nozzle in a bathtub and this was a diss appointment, but the biggest let down was a joy and stuff room with no aircon and I was left sleepless on my final night.

Great location for visiting the medieval city. Booked for three people, only two mugs and we had to ask where the extra towels were to be found. No kettle and the electric hob extremely slow, if staying for more than one night the lack of kitchen equipment would be a problem. The room was very basic, beds not particularly comfortable but clean. Breakfast was very expensive so we chose not to having compared with local places. The list of instructions regarding the condition and cleanliness in which the appartment was to be left was quite alarming! It suited us for one night because of it's location.
I do feel that when booking through hotels.com I am often allocated the least pleasing room, over the garage entrance as in this case, on the main road or by the elevators, Are you aware of this?

It was a great weekend. The hotel Adonis did exactly what it said on the tin. Great location providing you don’t need the train station, but great for the old and new city. Reception was very helpful and helped printing off boarding passes and calling a taxi . Probably the only down side was folks seemed to smoke just outside the entrance to the back and the front and as we were on the ground floor the smoke smell filtered through.

Nice stay near old town

Good place to explore Carcassonne, close to the old town. Reception is open certiain hours in the morning and afternoon only but that was not a problem for our stay.
We got a flat with separate bedroom which was nice. Facing the street which can be noisy when cars go by but not many do in the night so all fine.
There was a kitchen box which lets you make quick things like tea, coffee, salads, etc. Just have in mind that if you want to use the kitchen, you need to purchase a kitchen kit from reception (5 EUR) with sponge, washing up liquid, etc. (or bring / buy from a shop) as you have to clean the kitchen box before leaving, otherwise there is a 25 EUR cleaning fee.
Staff was polite and helpful. I would recommend for a stay in Carcassonne.

Lacklustre place to stay

Advertised as a hotel/residence, definitely not a hotel and the facilities in the room left a lot to be desired for a self catering holiday.
Room did not have a kettle only a 5 litre saucepan and 2 barely working hotplates, boiling water for a cup of tea or coffee took forever. Cooking facilities consisted of abovementioned saucepan and a beaten up frying pan a wooden spoon but nothing to get anything out of the frying pan with.
Staff were indifferent to say the least, one removed my washing from the dryer to do her own which was totally inappropriate as laundry facilities were only available during the limited reception hours and as she lived in could have done hers at any time.
Also had a problem with the room heating system and after several attempts to have someone help me for 2 days, ended up managing to get it working by myself. All in all, not the happiest of stays and would not recommend the Adonis Carcassonne to anyone who is planning more than an overnight stay.

Unfriendly staff and odd lobby hours

Behind the desk, you find staff complaining about the guests. The hotel lobby is closed many times when you will need it. Perhaps to drop off luggage, to get a cup of coffee before an early train or a late arrival. The guests are considered an inconvenience to the staff. How peaceful it would be with no guests, lost to the fact that there is no business without guests. The rooms are OK, but beds are uncomfortable. The town is lovely though expect more of this treatment. I went to get a cup of coffee. When I spoke in English, they told me they were closed. I was switching to my basic French when I was shooed out of a bustling restaurant. As I sat outside with my group, she came out to the square to offer beverages. Don't expect to feel welcome, in some places. Sans clue where their income originates.

We just went for one day to visit the castle. The hotel is on walking distance to the castle. It is a very nice, we got a suite, big, clean and confortable. The only downsides were no wifi in the rooms only in the lobby and the patio, the tv in the bedroom was not connected, there was not outlet bear to it. The tv in the living room had French language only but overall the hotel and room was super nice

Clean but spartan.

Hotel close to walled city. Short walk but a steep climb requiring some fitness. Clean but minimal comforts. However frig and microwave work well and staff are friendly and helpful. No nearby shops to speak of.

Good Location Accommodation

Stayed for two nights, two adults and two children. Rooms are basic but spacious and having a small kitchenette with a fridge is very useful. It's within easy walking distance to the old city and the Castle, that's well worth a visit.

Great location to get to the Castle

The staff weren't friendly,they thought they were doing you a favour for helping you,the room was very basic and you need a map to get to it.

Excellent value-for-money at foot of Citadelle

2nd stay, this time in studio apartment. Furniture and crockery quite basic but everything works and wifi is very good for work. Breakfast available but didn't try it because I had a kitchenette. Lovely courtyard where guests can lounge and sip drinks, and within walking distance of everything. Easy free parking on the street but the complex also has an underground car park.

Great value for money apartment

Booked a studio but got a whole apartment to myself. Huge space. The sofa-bed would however be tight for 4 people to sit on. Very basic furniture but in good condition. Excellent location and easy to find despite the one-way street system. Close to river for walks and jogging. Did not try the breakfast because of available kitchenette. Great inner courtyard and easy access from street through separate doors (with code) as well as reception.

Would be DANGEROUS during an emergency exit!

Good: Just a few minutes walk to the old town/ castle which is one of the most interesting things to do in Carcassone. The room was spacious and clean. We did not use the kitchen so I can't comment on that.
Bad : Finding our room was somewhat of a challenge. You go into a wing that has some doors with numbers on them. There are othe doors with nothing at all on them. You open one of these to find a dark hallway with other doors. It's all very confusing. When we walked out,of our room, the hall light would not come on until you were about half way down the hall. Once through the door at the end of your hall, you were in an area with some marked and unmarked doors. In an emergency, this could be DANGEROUS! You have no idea where the exit is. This would never pass safety standards in the States. For this reason, I could Not recommend this hotel.

Location and staff great but facilities not so.

Great location just outside the city walls. Quiet at night and an easy walk from the airport bus.Spotlessly clean and a modern fresh feel to the room. It was studio with a small cooker and fridge but no cutlery, no kettle to make a drink, one plate, The bed had the smallest, flatest pillows ever and was very noisy!

When you left the room the emergency lighting was not working so you had to walk down a pitch black corridor.
That said there was loads of hot water, clean towels and free shower gel. No hair dryer.

Oh and the WIFI did not work. Most of the time it was switched off then when it was on it was so slow that connection took forever.

The staff were lovely. Charming and tried to help.

Clean, basic and well located

Quick 3 day trip with the girlfriend.
Room was big and clean but sparse.
Very basic but priced accordingly. Friendly staff were helpful and welcoming
Only one issue, there is no shower attachment on the wall so had to hold the shower over my head when showering. Not a big issue but a bit annoying.

Castle door steps...

Great place, kissing distance to the castle!
We got a family room with a kitchenette & it was considerably larger then I'd expected compared to a lot of places we'd stayed in France.
I would have gave 5 stars however the extremely small Jacuzzi wasn't working properly and was cold.
Outside that great place and friendly staff.

Hotel review - Carcassonne

Close to the old city - great! Room too hot on arrival - open all windows! Had to seek Tea/coffee eqpt. No jug to boil water, until supplied with a coffee machine - readily supplied on asking. No utensil cleaning gear supplied. Good off street parking zone. Usual European problem of 2 x Single beds to make a double - need to be locked together!

I found the hotel to be basic but in most other respects perfect. It was very close to the castle and a very pleasant river walk. Restaurants were within reasonable proximity and there were lovely riverside parks adjacent to the hotel. All in all I had a very pleasant stay.

Unloved.

Room cavernous but unbelievably sparsely furnished - just a broken sofa bed too dangerous to sit on. Kitchen totally ill equipped - all on shelves so high we couldn't reach any crockery, the only saucepan, microwave. Cutlery filthy. Luckily we had picnic gear and a kettle with us.

good

like this hotel for location to the main fortress and comfort but big note: closes from 12 to 3 so can't check in or even have your luggage stored while waiting. Taxis are hard to come by and train station doesn't have lockers.

Otherwise room was very spacious and comfortable. Front desk was very friendly.

Amazing Hotel! The only thing that failed, were the hours of check-in, why start the 3:00 pm and we had to walk with the bags from the 12:00, because the hotel was closed,and nobody answer the bell. In reception,nobody told us the Jacuzi and the breakfast,but we forgot this when we saw the room.
