Located right inside the old cite, this hostel is great for experiencing Carcassonne after dark when you can really take in all it's fantastic atmosphere without the tourists. If you have a car, you can also park inside the outer walls free of charge which is a big advantage in the summer months. The staff here are really warm and... More

Carcassonne is seemingly not very busy in the colder months, which can make it a good time to visit, especially if, like me, you hope to get landscape/architecture shots without many people in them. My weekend visit found the Saturday quite windy and the Sunday (I left around noon) calm. The youth hostel was quite welcoming and stored my small... More

One shared toilet for whole floor wasn't ideal with shower in room instead. It has lockers, laundry, table tennis, patio, kitchen and best youth hostel breakfast I've ever had: all the normal stuff plus yoghurt, cake and baked apples with cinnamon - yum!!! All the staff I met were exceptionally friendly and it's location couldn't be better. Would recommend.

Stayed in a family room with husband and three children and we had a couple of really nice nights. The bunk beds were a great succeed with the children (although the parents weren't too happy with the rather synthetic paper bedlinen). The room and showers were clean and we enjoyed hanging out in the snack bar and the small garden.... More

The staff was very friendly and the guy speak a lot of languages. Great location directly in the Cité. Awesome. However, we had a very poor night because of the weather. Six poeple in the same room, without A/C, was terrible!

The greatest part about this place is that it is in the fortress and about 20 steps away from the castle. It was clean and the staff were friendly. The only thing I did not like was the paper sheets they gave us to sleep with. The breakfast was good and using the kitchen for our meals cut down on... More

The location of this hostel inside the walls of La Cité of Carcassonne cannot be beaten. It is in the heart of the old town, and stepping out of the hostel in the morning feels like you're on a film set! Really great and unique experience. We were in a 6-bed dorm, which was average, we had 2 sinks and... More

I really liked this hostel. The staff was nice when I was there. The guy spoke French and English fluently--I even heard him speaking Japanese! The lounge was very nice and wifi was great. Kitchen was super well equipped. Location can't get better-- maybe 75 yards from the entrance to the castle. Though, as someone else said it is definitely... More

Just outside the castle so location is excellent though a trek to get to from train station. Staff okay but not great and rooms clean enough but with the odd broken thing and gauze sheets. Family room had a broken shower and no toilet and in the bar the draught beer was broek. None of us managed to access the... More
