Hostellerie du Vieux Cordes

Tricky to get to but worth the effort. Staff at Reception friendly and helpful. Fantastic views out over the countryside. What lets it down is the poor quality of the restaurant. Poor menu choices - 3 out of 6 starters were salmon, 3 out of 6 main courses were salmon. I chose Cassoulet which had been badly reheated (microwaved?) as the centre of the pot was cold. The waiter seemed indifferent to the potential for food poisoning with reheated food. I sent it back and it was reheated again. I hadn't eaten Cassoulet before but was put off by the 3 big chunks of fat in it, very little meat, mainly beans. We tried two bottles of red wine which were terrible quality. The town is right in the heart of the wine growing area so this was surprising. Eat out if you stay at this hotel.

Area was great had a very nice lunch. The view from the restaurant on top of the hill was fab. Shop,s were open as was most of the restaurants but by 7pm 90% were closed but it was mid October ?( But in the summer would be fab but busy) Hotel staff very helpfull. Parking free,good wifi, rooms was very small but there were cheap ,Very clean. The food in the hotel restaurant very good.

the hotel situated in the heart of the old village and gives the atmosphere we're looking for. The stuff was kind and helpful. We took dinner which was nice although we didn't like the decoration of the dining room.

we were welcomed very well by the member of staff on the desk. He made our arrival as easy as he could, bearing in mind the hotel is situated in a very difficult location. However, it is worth all the effort, as the medieval town is beautiful and the views are out of this world.

Perfect place for Cordes. Excellent restaurant.

Superb location, excellent service and great food, very good value too!

It was a bit of a challenge to drive up to the hotel, but we got there and the staff was most accomodating and very friendly. We had a fantastic view from our room and enjoyed the meals we had at the hotel. The town itself is just amazing and we can't wait to return. It is quiet and very charming.

great restaurant; small room; friendly staff; you can get there via bus from albi

When I booked this hotel I had no idea of its location. What a surprise to find it at the top of the hill of Cordes near the central plaza. What a beautiful location and a lovely hotel! The staff was wonderful and the dining areas lovely. I only gave the "comfort" setting of 4 because there is no A/C in the rooms. Otherwise, this is a 5 all the way. We will be back!

This hotel was listed as a 3 star when it is more like a 4 star. We loved it.
