3 nights in Au Royal
Rather disappointing and did not live up to the photos. Hotel is advertised as with parking, but this is simply not true. The parking in Carcassonne can only be described as a nightmare and a long drive round trying to find a space (not at the hotel as there are non available) is a regular occurrence. Room wasn't particularly clean and there is next to no storage space, meaning living out of a suitcase. Staff are very friendly, but this is the only real plus.

Nice hotel in a good area with decent sized rooms and friendly staff. However, the rooms don't have air conditioning (just a fan) which, given the summer heat made it impossible to sleep - it was absolutely boiling in the room. I wouldn't stay here again during the summer, but would be fine in winter.

A great deal
This well-located (and easy to find from the train station) modest hotel was the best deal of a lengthy trip. I found that Carcassonne merited a quiet stay for the "lower town" as well as its more famous part up the hill (which perhaps can't live up to too high expectations). The hotel is very close to the very helpful tourist info centre and a 24 hour grocery store. A lack of recent remodelling was no concern to me; it was clean and comfortable and staff were pleasant and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Great location
Located next to Gambetta square, 5 min walk to the town's square Place Carnot, 10 min walk to train station and Canal de Midi, 15 min walk to the castle and it's many bars, shops and restaurants. The room is clean and spacious, with comfortable bed, but somewhat tired looking bathroom, optional breakfast available, overall good value for money, as even though it is just two star hotel, it makes up for it's location and good base for your weekend away

Stayed at the Au Royal Hotel in Carcassone off-season in chilly, drizzly November weather and were very pleased and comfortable. My sister and I requested separate beds and actually got two rooms ensuite, each with its own bathroom : toilet & shower, and a door that closed between so we could each stay up late or get up early without disturbing the other. This small hotel has good amenities - wifi, breakfast, heat, reading lights over the beds, but no elevator. It is located in the main city (La Bastide) an easy walk from the train station and the Canal du Midi, and a longer, but very scenic,walk over the old bridge to La Cite - the medieval walled town on the hill. Au Royal is located on a tree-lined boulevard, among the downtown restaurants and shopping, just up the street from Square Gambetta, and the Musee des Beaux Arts.
