We researched many hotels and B&Bs in Carcassonne before booking with Simone at Cote Cite. We were very pleased with our choice. We arrived on a freezing December afternoon and were grateful that Simone had put us in the cosiest room she has! It was light and spacious with three sets of French windows. When the evening came, we had... More

We just stayed one night with limited time to sightsee but the historic fortified city was within easy walking distance of the B&B-very convenient. It was great to be able to park our rental car in the gated courtyard. The hosts, Alain and Simone were extremley helpful recommending excellent restaurants in the old city. The morning we were to depart... More

We spent just one night here prior to flying to the UK. It took a while to find it, driving without a GPS but it was nice to be able to park the car in the courtyard and forget about it. That's a big plus here. Location is great; the B&B is located just a short walk from the old... More

I have just returned from Carcassonne, having gone with 2 friends for 3 nights. We wanted accommodation to suit 3 ladies and booked the "Merlin & Morgane "suite which comprised 2 rooms, one with double bed and one with 2 singles, perfect for us. These rooms and the bathroom were at the top of a spiral staircase, so those rooms... More

My husband and I spent three nights and three wonderful days in Carcassonne in the B&B Côté Cité. Côté Cité is a pretty B&B or Maison d'hôte. The building is historical and very interesting. The rooms are furnished in a very romantic way and have a functional en-suite shower-room/toilet. Being historical the floor of our room, “Melusine”, was tiled with... More

My partner and I stayed here in June. Our room was gorgeous and the breakfast room was fantastically decorated. Simone was friendly and this is in a great location, close to the walled city. There was also secure parking which was very useful.

Seven months before our departure I was so excited to have found accommodations (through Rick Steves' France 2012 guidebook) at Coté Cité (a French B & B or chambres d'hôte) in Carcassonne, France. The new owner (since 2010?) Madame Simone Mayer patiently responded to my fledgling efforts at written French. We settled on two rooms, "Carpe Diem"and "Chambre des Fées"... More

The location of the hotel, just a few minutes walk from the walled city of Carcassonne is terrific, and the private, secure parking is another big plus point. We were charmed by the bedrooms and the dining areas and found the hostess warm and helpful. The breakfast was slightly disappointing, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

We followed Rick Steves advice and showed up in Carcasonne in the afternoon at Cote Cite then walked in to the old city and castle for the evening. We had a great dinner at restaurant Adelaide and back to a lovely room. Madam Mayer provides a wonderful breakfast and nicely appointed rooms. be prepared to use your French or a... More
