Le Couvent Hôtel Restaurant

Great Hostel ,room good size and clean,location very handy to Train Station and walkable distance to all what Carsasconne has to offer. Staff were friendly and helpful. The lift is being repaired,the nice young staff member assisted us to our room.Enjoyed our stay

Solo female traveler during the low season. Felt very safe and rooms were very clean. Very walkable to the Cité and train station. The best part was probably the restaurant which had great dinner options. Bit awkward as one of the staff members got into a fight with my roommate for not leaving even though it was still 20 minutes before check out time

I stayed in a six-bed dorm with ensuite bathroom, and never had more than one other person in the room with me (score!). It was tidy and quiet, the location could not have been better, and the beds were fantastic (comfy and with great privacy curtains). The staff were all very friendly and helpful, but it was a bit weird having to ask the guy at the bar for some hot water to make myself a cup of tea.

This hostel is located right in the centre of new Carcassonne. The rooms are nicely designed, with large lockers and comfortable beds that come with privacy curtains. The best part of my stay was definitely the friendly and funny staff. I was especially well helped by the lovely petite lady (she told me I could call her that 😉). She gave me great tips and even a discount for an activity in the city. Highly recommend this place!

Our stay at the hostel was wonderful! The staff were so helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the price was very reasonable. We stayed during a heatwave and the staff made sure that we stayed hydrated and were very kind. We were allowed to keep our bags at the hostel when we checked out, as we had a few hours until our train. No complaints from me- I would recommend this place! (A special thanks to Sarah for being so helpful!)

Great location for a hostel - near the train/bus station and only 20 minute walk to the stunning old city; very clean, modern and comfortable and the staff were really helpful!

Visiting from Ireland, we had a wonderful stay at Le Couvent on a visit to Carcassonne. The location is just a 5 minute walk from the train station which was very handy in the extreme heat. It’s a longer walk to the medieval city, but a very pleasant one and we were quite happy to stay somewhere a bit further from the crowds and the tourist trail. Very clean rooms with comfy beds and air con. Sara at reception was very helpful. We only wished the bar/restaurant was open after 9pm during the week or there was some communal kitchen/area to sit relax in if not in our rooms. Overall would highly recommend though! Good price, great buzz!

As a bar this place is fine. However as a hostel it’s absolutely not. Firstly rude receptionist telling me to “cool it”. I had just walked from the train station in the heat, and had to explain I just wanted to leave my baggage. I don’t expect nor appreciate it being implied I am manic or otherwise out of control. I was perfectly calm. Rude and not appreciated at all. Later the reception/bar staff were pleasant however this is where it ends. I found it absolutely laughable that firstly there was no food available and secondly we weren’t as HOSTEL (NOT HOTEL) guests allowed to use the microwave. I had to entrust my dinner to the staff who couldn’t cook it properly leading to my main food being completely burnt and inedible. She then laughed it off and gave me some money from the tip jar. Not enough to cover the food and certainly not a substitute for my ruined dinner. The rooms were fine, there weren’t enough lockers for everyone. The lockers open onto the floor and make a lot of noise when you open them. Showers and toilets are adequate. Ultimately this place is fine but as a bar. As a hostel they don’t hit the standard most hostels provide. More like just a bed and bathroom.
