Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Du Pont Vieux offers a delightful stay right near Carcassonne's heart, and it's generally considered a great value. Guests often appreciate being steps away from the medieval city and enjoying castle views. Rooms feature amenities like a Nespresso coffee maker and bathtubs, and breakfast is a highlight with quality products served in the garden. Some have found the hallways rather narrow, but this does not detract from the overall positive experience.

The room was clean and the staff were friendly. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast that had many choices. It was very good. The rooftop terrace has views of the Medieval City.

The hallway was narrow. I found street parking to be limited. It was difficult to find a spot.
