Guest Reviews

• Melanie Jane (10/5): - La Maison Vieille is conveniently located within walking distance of the old walled city and has plenty of parking nearby. The property has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated, with attention to detail, and the owner and her staff are friendly and helpful. We'd particularly like to commend Neria for being so kind and helpful. It was also lovely to be able to enjoy home-made breakfast food around a big table with other guests. A lovely place to stay! Would certainly recommend
• Gary (10/5): Lovely stay. All round excellent. Will be back! - Exceptional is probably the best word to describe our stay at La Maison Vieille. Clean, modern yet still with that French rustic charm. Our hostess, Catherine was charming and helpful from restaurant recommendations to taxi bookings. Breakfast was traditional, homemade cakes and pastries and the brioche .... wow! Great location only 10 minute walk to medieval city one way and the same to the town the other which had a great Saturday morning market. Fantastic wine bar two doors down that served cheese and charcuterie too ... great value! Would without doubt stay here again and highly recommend to all. Merci beaucoup Catherine
• Stuart (10/5): Great location and host. - Catherine is an excellent host. Property is 10 mins walk uphill from the medieval city and next to the river. Parking is in free car park 2 mins walk from property. Rooms are fabulous. Lounge area very comfortable and lots of guide books etc available to use. Breakfast is excellent. Great stay and thoroughly recommended.
• K (8/5): - Love place
• Nancy (10/5): Amazed - The rooms were big and unique in style. We enjoyed the rooms were clean and comfortable. Great location!
• Terry (10/5): Hotel that exceeded all my expectations - What a wonderful place to stay. The room decor was lovely, the atmosphere was fabulous and it was situated just 10 mins walk from La Cite and the Town Centre. Catherine was the most helpful of hosts and I would genuinely recommend this hotel to anyone.
• Iain (10/5): Ideal - A beautiful building with an excellent host and facilities, La Maison Vielle is an ideal place to stay in Carcassonne. Close to both the bastide and the cite, it was an absolute pleasure to stay there for five days
• Carol (10/5): - Excellent base for exploring the area. Comfortable apartment with kitchen and comfy bed.
• Susan Elizabeth (10/5): - A really comfortable stay in what is a hidden gem, and a TARDIS. Looks tiny and insignificant from the street yet is a big surprise once inside!!
• Carine (10/5): - This is a very nice small boutique hotel. Room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Only problem was that the towels and the blanket on our bed smelled so sour. Probably from having it in the washer too long before drying. I was a minor thing and if we would have stayed longer then 2 nights I would have asked for new towels and blanket. Overall this is a great location. I would def go back to this hotel if in Carcassonne.
• isidora (8/5): - Habitación muy agradable y casa muy bonita. No hacen la habitación y solo aceptan efectivo
• Iain (10/5): Beautiful stay in beautiful Carcassonne - This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay, terrific and friendly people and in a marvelloud location on the edge of the cite. We really couldn't have asked for more- the bedroom was huge and very authentic for the building, the breakfast was just right and the courtyard was a perfect place to relax from the sun. And many thanks to Catherine and her colleague (along with Max the dog) for being such genial and helpful hosts. Simply wonderful.
• HUGO (10/5): - Meet all expectations.
• Stephen (10/5): Superb - Everything was perfect - location, price, value, comfort of huge room, luxurious bed, wonderful breakfast, friendly service.
• phillip (10/5): - We stayed at La Maison Vieille for two nights, with a plan to visit Carcassonne and the surrounding area. Our apartment was very pleasant and well equipped and we enjoyed it; there are a lot of nice little restaurants just down the street; parking was easy, but then we visited in March. The old Cite de Carcassonne is within walking distance. Catherine, the owner, is a very pleasant and helpful lady.
• Jana (10/5): Delightful stay - We had a wonderful time staying at the property. It has a boutique feel, the room was very nicely and tastefully equipped. Breakfast was great and so was the host’s company. Location is also great, very close to Carcassone. Already recommended the property to friends.
• Pierre (10/5): Super - Super sejour, Tres bon accueil, chambre magnifique, Tres bien situé aux pids des remparts Tres bon petit dejeuner Je recommande
• isaac (8/5): bien con peros. - bien, en general, muy buena habitación. Desayuno normal. El pago, en efectivo, no admiten tarjeta de crédito, no facilita las cosas.
• Gabriel (10/5): Parfait - Sejour fantastique, la maison est magnifique la localisation est parfaite pour les diverses visites. Proprete irreprochable, petit dejeuner delicieux! Hôte tres agreable et de bons conseils
• M Ángeles (8/5): - El hotel tiene una decoración acogedora, todas las estancias son amplias, incluso el dormitorio. El desayuno muy bueno, todo casero, los dulces, las mermeladas, pan crujiente, variedad de salados... No es un hotel como tal porque no hacen las habitaciones todos los días y hay que saber que tiene escaleras para ir a las habitaciones por si se tiene algún impedimento físico como era nuestro caso. El pero lo pondría en que el precio a pagar allí no es el de la página de la reserva, se añaden tasas locales, a pesar de que al reservar ponía tasas incluidas.
• Luigi (4/5): Senza docciarsi per 2 giorni - Ci è stato chiesto più volte l’orario del nostro arrivo, con messaggi e email La cosa più deludente è che non funzionava la doccia, solo acqua bollente, abbiamo chiesto la riparazione e non è stata effettuata, 2 giorni senza poter fare la doccia e senza nemmeno le dovute scuse. La colazione si è costretti a farla con altri ospiti nella stessa tavolata, se la tavolata è occupata bisogna aspettare che si liberano i posti. In generale luogo mediocre e che non vale le 221,00E per le due notti. Cordialità minima.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The rooms are spacious, the amenities are tasteful, the rooms are clean and the location is perfect for everything. Wonderful Band B
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Da vi ankom til døren, tænkte vi åh nej, hvad har vi bestilt. Men kommer ind i den mest fantastiske bygning. Dejlige store moderne værelser. Lækkert morgenbord - og så ligger det lige ved foden af Carcasonne (gåafstand).
• MKP (10/5): - Perfect location in the old city area but outside the gates. Huge rooms with a great bathroom. Bright lobby/breakfast area. Lovely spot from which to explore a charming old city.
• JW (10/5): - MaisonVielle is a beautiful refuge perfectly situated at the foot of the Old Bridge in view of the Cite walls (lighted at night) with restaurants and stores along the same street. The hotel courtyard is quiet and lovely and our room was enormous, clean and lovely. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our stay very much. For the price, the value was excellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect location to enjoy the town and the castle. Friendly staff and great restaurants near by. Lovely courtyard and very large suite. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone visiting for leisure.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Our room was absolutely beautiful and huge. The staff member we dealt was not overly welcoming, and we had a train at 9am and so requested breakfast at 8am - normal times are 8.30-10am, which we were not aware of, so make sure you know this when booking. The compromise was 8.15, and this was not happily granted. To be fair breakfast was ready for us at 8.10 and was lovely,
• David (10/5): Great spacious room - Great location older charming restored 14-15th century home. Room size is huge with high ceilings. Comfortable bed with nice shower pressure. Good breakfast in a nice common dining room. Toilet room needs an upgrade but everything else was awesome.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This place is beautiful and comfortable and unique.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful property tucked right in the old town. Would highly recommend to anyone for a great stay. Breakfast was also great. Only slight downer was the internet (in the whole city) had a problem, and we had to pay in cash for the stay which is a small nuisance. But the property and people that work there more than make up for this.
• Patricia (10/5): Stay Here! - The rooms are beautiful, large, nicely decorated, extremely comfortable. The common area is very comfortable. Breakfast was the best we’ve had, fresh baked goods by Catherine! Lovely hostess!
• david (10/5): - Our stay was enhanced by a kind, capable and competent young women that showed us our room and made breakfast the next morning. Lovely property, close to the castle, with nearby parking.
• Matthew (10/5): Excellent - Lovely place to explore and La Maison Vieille is excellent place to stay very close to the Medieval Cité
• heather (10/5): Wonderful people, wonderful place! - Our hostesses were wonderful. Our room was adorable, even better in person than the pictures. Breakfast was lovely, with much to choose from. Location was excellent for visiting both the castle and the new city. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!
• David (8/5): - Surprised we had to pay in cash. French breakfast without croisants was another first also! Overall though a good experience with its location just below the old city ideal. Some good restaurants locally. Would recommend La Maison Vielle.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely time in Carcassonne - Beautiful room and hotel is fantastic location. Very romantic room, although my husband found the shower difficult as it was not a cubicle. Valerie was such a good host each breakfast and the courtyard was beautiful. From my husband - first world problems; WiFi wasnt available in the bedroom 🙄
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice B&B in Carcassonne, small patio, parking across the street
• Andrea (10/5): Beautiful hotel close to La Cite - Beautiful rooom, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean. Fantastic view of La Cite from our window. Could not recommend this place highly enough. The breakfast was magnificent. Thank you.
• Verified traveler (10/5): wonderful luxury - Our room was a large luxurious room and bathroom with double sinks. My wife was very pleased.
• Michael (10/5): What a wonderful gem hidden in “very cool” town - This hotel is a “gem” and excellent value. Our biggest regret is that we did not book enough nights to thoroughly enjoy the hotel, fully explore the town’s nooks and crannies and to further enjoy the company of the host at breakfast. The hostess was GREAT - she provided a tasty breakfast spread, initiated good conversations which helped to get the table conversations going amongst the guests. Our suite was cute and perfect and very spacious. The local pub up the street a couple of doors from the hotel was a lot of fun and had fantastic food. Next time we are back in France - we will be booking more nights at this “GEM”
• Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely B&B - Lovely B&B perfectly situated between la cite and the new town. Room was massive and comfy. However, be aware there is no tv in rooms and WiFi doesn't reach higher rooms. Fine if you really want to get away from it all. Staff are lovely and friendly. Continental breakfast was very nice. They recommended a restaurant in last cite, l'escargot, which turned out to be fabulous and best meal we ate in Carcassonne... so that deserves some extra points!
• Grainne (10/5): - Beautifullly decorated large room in an old house. 5 minutes walk into Carcassonne and only a few minutes walk from the gates of the old Cite! Good breakfast too!
• James (10/5): This is a great location. - The location of this apartment was terrific and the owner and staff are lovely. The breakfast, though not included, is priced very fairly and mostly homemade. I will say it was a bit difficult finding the proper entrance on the road so that we got near the hotel. But we did. And, we lucked out and got parking just across the road. I assume parking can be problematic.
• Lisa (10/5): Perfect location. - A very welcoming and beautifully restored old building with all modern conveniences, and a lovely enclosed garden and courtyard.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful hotel in the perfect location. - Beautiful hotel in a perfect location to explore both the medieval & new cities. All of the staff were really friendly & the family room was perfect for us.
• craig (10/5): Nice hotel, great location - We had a very enjoyable day which was helped by the staff at the hotel. Good directions and suggestions for sights and dining. The hotel was very clean and modern with all amenities. Breakfast was very good , lots to choose from. Our host was fun and engaging.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great location - Easy 15 minute walk from train station & a 10 minute walk to the castle. Our room was upstairs. It was huge, but the bath/shower was in the bedroom. A portable screen provided for a little privacy. It was difficult to shower, so easier to have a bath. The toilet was in a seperate room. The double bed is due for replacement! The b @ b was nicely decorated and very homely. Breakfast was at the shared table downstairs.
• ella (6/5): Good location, ok breakfast, bad coffee - Not as expected. Wifi unavailable in rooms and very week elsewhere. No reception. Doorbell out of order so you need to have a international calling plan to call the hostess. Bad odor in shared common area. Guests wondered where it came from. Our room and public restroom was not equipped with soap. Three people in our room-2 towels, 1 washcloth. Lightbulb on nightstand was out. Very hard to reach hostess during day after breakfast. Stairs to loft space in our room extremely weak and rickety. No shower curtain or door to bathroom. Toilet area door did not close fully. No privacy in room. Also, they do not accept credit cards.
• Christine (8/5): Good choice, near everything - Great location, less than 10 minutes walk from the main city and the medieval town. Huge rooms and good decor. Awkward arrival having to call the owner to be let in. Nice selection at breakfast. Overall a good stay but slightly expensive for what you get.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Bright, charming, walkable - Although there were some delays (on my part due to a late flight), the host was very accommodating. When I arrived, I was shown to my room promptly. It is a beautiful loctation - at the foot of the old bridge, and a short walk through the old city to the Cite. The room was beautifully renovated - with everything working perfectly. Breakfast was fresh breads, meats, cheese, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, jam, yogurt....whatever you could want...and you were set until at least 2 o'clock! If you want a place from which to launch daily trips within Carcasonne and further afield....this place is ideal!
