Hotel berhampiran Carcassonne Castle, Aude

We booked two nights at this hotel for a group of friends travelling on motorbikes. The hotel has secure garage parking for a fee. The hotel is also close to the castle. Unfortunately the above are the only good points about this hotel and our experience staying there. Our room, although large and spacious, was dirty and very dated. There were no curtains at the windows, only external shutters. So you had no privacy in your room as other guests and members of the public could see in. Eg, the bathroom had a window facing the road. I found on check-in that the lady at reception was very rude. This theme continued during our stay. I can never understand why people who work in hospitality are like this. We were overcharged for our room. I booked 5 rooms for our party and we paid €50 more than everyone else for the same room. When I tried to explain this to the lady at reception, she just looked at me and said 'i know, too bad'. Beware mosquitos whilst staying, we received lots of insect bites whilst in our rooms. The sofa bed was supposed to have been made up in two of the rooms, however it wasn't. We requested this from reception, however on our return from viewing the castle found that the sofa bed had been made up, but we had no top covers (quilt or sheets!). The breakfast spread was very poor. It was buffet style, but with very few choices and items to eat. On two mornings the coffee ran out and the staff never brought out any more, even when requested. On offer was bread products, pre-wrapped cheese, yogurt and cereal. However as with the coffee, only a certain amount was on offer and when it ran out there was not more. NOTE: reception is not open all of the time, so you have a code to access the building. This can be a problem for guests checking in/ out. We will not stay here again, and I would advise anyone planning to stay in Carcassonne to choose another hotel.
