Hotel De L'octroi

Overview

Hotel De L'octroi delivers a cracking city-break vibe with its bold, modern flair and buzzing social spaces. Expect splashes of colour everywhere, ace spots for lounging—inside and out—and a spa that’s well worth a sesh. The crew on hand are mega accommodating (and seem to speak every language under the sun), while handy features for families make the place spot on for all sorts of jollies.

Location

You’ll barely have time to snap a selfie before finding yourself at Carcassonne’s best bits—Hotel De L'octroi is a bang-on choice for putting you right by all the epic historical action. Fancy exploring medieval marvels like the Cité Médiévale, Château Comtal, or reliving some proper dramatic Cathar Battles? Those are a quick stroll away (9 minutes, if you’re counting). The Basilique Saint-Nazaire and Pont Vieux are also walkable in under a quarter-hour, which is flippin’ handy. The Insta-worthy Canal du Midi and Cathédrale Saint-Michel are close enough to make for a cracking wander, and Port Narbonnaise is basically around the corner. Whether you’re hopping on a bus (just 10 metres away, buzzin’) or heading out by train, getting around is as easy as pie.

Rooms

Life’s too short for beige—and rooms here are anything but. Dive into one of the funky 18 rooms or swish suites, all splashed with lively colours and contemporary touches. Whether you’re turning up the heat on a chilly night or cooling off in the summer, the individually controlled air con and heating keep things just right. Catch up on your favourite shows with a flat-screen TV, and freshen up in roomy bathrooms with both bath and shower sorted. Extra beds are up for grabs if you’ve got mates or family tagging along, and the quirky, maze-like corridor setup definitely gives your stay a bit of Premier League character.

Food & Drink

Raise a glass (or three) at the lounge bar, a cracking spot to wind down after your sightseeing sesh. The dedicated dining area’s got you covered for those moments when you fancy a bite in a chilled vibe—perfect for a low-key nosh or a catch-up with your travel pals. Drinks, snacks, or a cheeky cocktail? The bar’s your go-to for socialising and making those holiday memories extra tasty.

Sports & Entertainment

Splash about in freshwater bliss—there’s a heated outdoor pool working overtime from Easter all the way to early November, plus an indoor pool for when you want to keep things more undercover. Melt away your stress in the Carita Decléor spa, where massages and a hot tub scream “relax sesh of the year.” The sun terrace is ideal for topping up your tan or diving into your latest holiday read. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of screen time, the communal TV lounge has you sorted for some laid-back viewing with your mates.

Distance From Major Transportation Hubs

Nipping off to Toulouse Blagnac Airport? That’s a breezy 99.6 kilometres away. If you fancy hopping on a train or bus around Carcassonne, the main station's just 2,000 metres from base, and an ultra-handy bus or metro stop is practically outside the door at just 10 metres. Travel faff: eliminated.
