This little hotel is a lovely place to stay right bang in the middle of Castres, a lively, charming town with all the facilities you could want for a great break. The rooms we had were quiet, generous in size, immaculately clean, with comfortable beds and lots of hot water. Breakfast was a step above the 'continental' norm of bread and jam and a croissant, we had a choice of cereals, breads, meats, cheese, boiled eggs etc. Very good. The hotel has a small restaurant area serving simple evening meals of excellent quality but limited choice, the whole town is, after all, on the doorstep for the more adventurous diners. I must give a special thanks to the reception staff who were polite, cheerful and exceptionally helpful. WELL DONE!!!!

Nothing. Castres, like so many cities these days is not, in the first instance, welcoming to strangers in cars. Once on foot, the only dodging to be done is from bikes and e-scooters. The city traffic system is based on a giant roundabout with the city in the middle and (very) limited access and no parking. Be sure to drive slowly and that your sat-nav is good and up-to-date.

The hotel is full of history and character. It is in an ideal location, close to restaurants, bars and a good base from which to travel to other attractions. We had a lavish room. There is not a huge choice for breakfast but it is sufficient. Parking at 7 Euros a day is very close by.

So much too like it's hard to pick fault but perhaps, just a little thing, changing the coffee cups we had used each day and refilling the water would be nice.

The room was a delightful surprise being large and unusually decorated. The bathroom was adequate, small but given the age of the building perfectly fine. Valet car parking was good with the car being returned promptly at the given checkout time. It was also handy for the local bars and restaurants and to sample the local culture.

The hotel isn't the easiest to find without an up to date Sat Nav and the hotel doesn't have any lifts although the reception staff did help with the luggage.

Superb location, close to parking (you can park yourself easily in a nearby underground carpark). Very nicely furnished and equipped room, spacious. Although it was a Sunday night, when it is typically quite difficult to find an open restaurant in France, the receptionist-cum-entire staff on duty produced one of the most delicious and memorable meals of my three-week trip

The shower-in-bath was very mouldy, which is a real shame - easily fixed though.

Very beautiful property. Rooms were huge and very comfy with air conditioning. We paid for valet parking as streets narrow and hard to find a space. Valet parking was excellent service, no problem at all. Staff and the manager were all lovely and very helpful, very pleased with our choice of accommodation and would stay again. There were 4 of us and we had 2 deluxe suites . We went out for a meal and found lots of bars and restaurants in a nearby square within walking distance

Nothing

Location is very good. A great location to explore this beautiful town, although not easy to find with a car. It is essential to use the hotel's valet parking service, as there is almost no parking close to the hotel. Hotel's staff are very helpful and pleasant, especially when helping take luggage to and from the room (there is no elevator).

The bed's pillows are lumpy and need renewing, and lighter-weight quilts on the bed are necessary for warmer weather, especially when there is no top sheet, only one on the mattress.

I stayed there one night with 6 friends as part of a motorcycle tour. We had breakfast but not an evening meal. Really warm welcome from the staff, who were also really helpful, made it a real pleasure to arrive. We had booked the secure garaging for our motorcycles and although 200 yards from the hotel it was secure and as we could load and unload at the hotel was not really an inconvience Loved the quirky themed bedrooms Great buffet breakfast in the morning

Hotel is very well located and the staff in particular are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Valet parking works well and is very secure. Castres is an interesting town and we would recommend the Creperie du Coin for excellent savoury and dessert crepes. We also had good meals at O Victoria and Bistro des Saveurs and would recommend both.

Size of the room but that was probably our fault for not taking more notice of the room options when we booked.

From the moment we arrived the girl on reception was excellent I wish I would have got her name they couldn't do enough for us. Thanks very much. The room was incredible the decor was unbelievable.

Nothing.

Very central, just meters away from the main square. The room was very big and felt like a miniature museum with all the decorations. Very friendly and helpful staff. And breakfast was amazing. The choice, especially cheese variety, was incredible and unlike many other hotels was replenished immediately. I think the towels were the softest I ever had in any hotel.

This is not really a negative point, but worth mentioning. One can't really drive up to the hotel and the public parking which is very close to the hotel apparently always shows as full up, although that is not the case. We parked just across the street from the public parking free of charge.
