“Good location”

The Hotel Bristol is located a stone's throw from Carcassone's railway station, which suited us because we were Eurail Pass-ing on this trip. Between the railway station and the hotel is a very pretty, tree-lined canal with a grassy bank just outside the hotel's front door where you can sit and watch the boats or have a coffee at the downstairs cafe. From the hotel it takes approximately 30 minutes to walk to the old city and castle, an easy walk through mainly pedestrian-only streets. The hotel is very basic with no trimmings, but the staff were friendly and helpful and all spoke English. For what the hotel had to offer, it was over-priced.

“a good hotel for the price”

This hotel is worth the price. The rooms are old but it is not too expensive and you can see the town easily.
