Hotel berhampiran The University Gardens, Narbonne

Really nice boutique hotel in the quiet back streets of Narbonne but literally a 5 minute walk into the centre and the restaurants. Only 10 rooms to the hotel, no elevator, unfortunately we had skid for an upper room as we had not realised there was air conditioning and when the weather is hot we like to sleep with a window open. We ended up with room 9 which was not ideal as up 56 steps, also the one room overlooked the lovely roof top patio, fortunately for us it was raining otherwise maybe it could have been quite noisy if people were using it in the evening, so I would say for that the room to avoid was no 9. So go for a lower floor unless you want a work out. If you arrive with a car make sure you book a parking spot in their garage, there are only 4 spaces and when you arrive you will see the sign for the hotel at the garage door which is opposite the hotel, there is a place where you can park your car whilst you check in and get the details on how to access the garage. The spaces are very good and access is easy going in and out. The guy on reception spoke good English and was very helpful, giving recommends for restaurants and booking one for us. The room was clean, nicely decorated , comfortable large bed and quiet. We did not have breakfast. If staying in Narbonne this is definitely a good place to be.

Nice hotel in Narbonne! Just 10 mins walk from the station, 5 mins walk to the city center, staffs were friendly, the room was clean and spacious! There was an equipped kitchen in the room, almost everything, including a tiny dish washer, and there were few supermarkets & restaurants nearby. Security level was high, and it even located next to the police station. The bed was comfortable, price is reasonable, everything was good! Highly recommended!

Frank Sinatra did it ”My Way” and the charming ladies who own and run Villa Ambrosia have their own distinctive style in this funky but passionately unique B&B. The decoration and greenery suggest world travelers and folks that can't resist brocante shopping plus family heirlooms. Everything might not strike your fancy, but it all coalesces into a relaxing and whimsical whole built around a large indoor pool and enough plants and trees to compete with a botanical nursery. Our room, ”Shabby” was comfortable with a premium bed and a fine rainwater shower. A memorable breakfast is essential for any self-respecting B&B, and Villa Ambrosia scores well on this checklist. A very minor quibble: wished they used more substantial paper napkins, but everything else on the table was delightful. A caution, if you are arriving by car: Allee Ambrosia is at a sharp angle off the main road, quai de Lorraine. You and/or your GPS might miss it, and that can be annoying and stressful. There are a cluster of tiny public parking spaces outside their gate and room for only a few cars inside. It would be prudent to reserve same if you have a large car or visible luggage when the car trunk is too small. This place grew on us. You may not have all the ”mod cons” of a modern hotel (you might have to pull a cord out of a lamp socket to charge your laptop or phone), but you will be staying at a distinctive and singular hostelry that you will remember with fondness.
