An Xmas gift to every guest! A wonderful gesture. Our dog was welcomed, and befriended by staff and guests. The view across the river to the old town, and of the very old bridge (being restored) was stupendous. Good walking paths, for dog (and humans) along the far side river bank. Easily accessible via the old bridge. Close-in car park.

The hotel's Italian restaurant was closed for several weeks (chef on vacation!). We didn't know this until a couple of weeks before we arrived, well after we had booked. The staff were very helpful in trying to find alternatives in town, but so many places were also closed, or fully booked, so there wasn't too much choice.

The hotel was situated just 5 mins walk from both the commercial centre and the historic one. Parking was plentiful. The room was comfortable and amazingly quiet, even though there was a weir and a road nearby. (Effective double glazing!) The piece de resistance was the superb breakfast: Plentiful and varied, including continental and cooked. There was a machine crushing oranges, giving you the freshest possible orange juice. There was also a large selection of loose teas, including English Breakfast AND fresh milk! The receptionist spoke English, which was useful. All in all, great visit. We wish we could have stayed longer. N.B. We got horribly lost, trying to find the hotel as the sat nav wanted to take us down roads that were closed. Make sure you stipulate no. 2 n°2 rue de la visitation.

I stayed at the Mecure Albi Bastides on the third and fourth nights of a 30 day road trip through France and Spain. I was really impresssed with this hotel. Firstly, there was a large private car park in the grounds of the hotel. Once in the reception area, staff were very welcoming and spoke excellent English. My room was very comfortable, with good facilities and great views over stunning Albi. The hotel restaurant was reasonably good value and the food was very good with the option of outdoor dining with impressive views of the river and cathedral. Breakfast was also very good with lots of choice.

Nothing of note

The staff was friendly, helpful and considerate. My sister & I are advancing in age & have some motility issues. Without us asking, Julian showed us a second room that met our needs better & gave us a choice of rooms. He was so thoughtful & kind to suggest that to us. The room was wonderful. It was quiet, clean & had comfortable beds. The bathroom had been updated with a shower & beautiful fixtures. I was impressed with all the eco friendly things the hotel had done We had both breakfast & dinner on the outside terrace with wonderful views across the river Tarn to the cathedral. We enjoyed the meals & views immensely. I loved the history & charm of the building which was once an old mill. And I loved the proximity to the cathedral & Toulouse Lautrec Museum. It was great to have the convenience of leaving the car in the on site lot.

The view from the room and the restaurant was great, location good, parking easy and the food was exceptionally good, much better than some of the more expensive modern hotels we stayed in on this trip. Comfortable room and friendly staff as well as a garden suitable for my large dog, who was welcomed. We were allowed to leave the car in the car park for the morning before we checked in later.

Nothing, it was fine for us. Everything we needed for a visit to the historic centre which was about 20 minutes by foot.

10 +++/ AAA+++ visit. Smooth easy check-in. Friendly staff..... Thank you. Decent size room. Great view of river and old town. Nice clean room. Large bed. A number of steps from the parking lot to front door. Big Bed. Mini refrigerator. Great WiFi. Nice clean room.

Nothing, great visit. Daniel - USA

We were able to check in early. My husband wears a leg brace & has trouble walking. We were able to drive right up to the door to unload our bags & then park very close in secure parking. Dinner on the terrace was quite good and the view is breathtaking as the sun sets on the red brick of old Albi. All the staff was wonderful. I loved having a room with a view of the river & the old city.

More counter space in the bathroom.

One of the best located hotels I have ever stayed in. Breathtaking views of one of France’s great cathedrals+ the River Tarn

Just a small query about the restaurant…..staff delightful on reception and also in the restaurant. Mais je me doutais que je mangeais du poisson du congélateur. Églefin. Où sur cuit.

Brilliant location next to the bridge and offering a panoramic view across the river of the attractive old city of Albi. We also like the concept of historic buildings being converted into hotels.

We had a top floor room which lacked a walk-in shower. Shower fittings within baths are risky for older people like us! We only had a half window rising from the floor level.

We chose the hotel because of its location, and parking provision. We had a room with river views on two sides. The Hotel is in an amazing location, and its restaurant also has great views across the river. We used the lift to get to our room with luggage. The bed was comfy, and the room well presented and equipped. The hotel location meant it was easy to get into Albi for a stroll when we arrived and the next morning also. (having checked out, we were able to leave our car there for the next morning) The Restaurant had a good menu, and the food was well presented. Breakfast was good also. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Nothing - its proximity to the Cathedral and the Toulouse Lautrec museum made it an ideal base for a short stay.
