We stayed here on a short break in Carcassonne before flying home to the UK. A tourist information assistant found the hotel for us on a booking website and as we were booking last minute the tariff was half price so we actually paid only 44 euro for the night which was brilliant. Since our return I've read a number of discouraging reviews on here which I find is normally always the case, I however have only positive comments to offer about Hotel Bristol (that could have been swayed by us paying such a low price and perhaps we were allocated one of the best rooms). One of the best points about this hotel is the location, you are literally across the road from le Gare so it's so easy to get on your way the next day by train or by shuttle bus which also has a stop right across the road - and of course you are right on the Canal du Midi a stunning sight whatever the time of day (we didn't have a view overlooking the canal as we were at the rear of the hotel but I imagine the view from the front would be magnifique). The hotel reception staff are very friendly including the gorgeous French Bulldog who sits in reception, she was so cute. Our room was large and clean as was our bathroom and we had a nice balcony overlooking a garden with a view over the rooftops of the modern side of Carcassone. We found our room very quiet at night, we were out until around 1.30am and once we closed our shutters we had no problems sleeping as our room was comfy and quiet. Check out was only 12 noon too which is always great after indulging in delectable food and wine till late in Carcassonne. All in all a lovely stay in a lovely city, I'd definately stay again.
