less than 5min walk from the main train station, about 10min walk to the city centre, 20min walk to la cite. the reception to the hotel rooms is in another building, opposite side of the street. check-in was fast and easy, they kept my suitcase til i could access my room. room is clean, has every you need = kettle, hairdryer, tv, wardrobe, desk, curtains. the area is quiet, clean, safe. i travelled alone and had no issues or concerns during the day or night. highly recommend. one full day for carcassonne is enough. enjoy!
