    the best hotel in Albi

    There is nothing bad to say about this hotel The price is great for the value, the hotel is excellent We didn't eat there because of the many restaurants and cafes around And the view!!! There is no other hotel with such a view from the window in the whole city

    I really think this is the best hotel in Albi Everything is high quality there, the coffee, the cleanliness, the very friendly staff, the parking, the location, and especially the amazing view from the window. I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Albi. Truly one of the best I have stayed in in the south of France ever

    There was no gym which would have improved our stay. We knew there wasnt one before we boooked but that would have made our stay better.

    Room was brilliant with a view of the river. The staff were exceptional and couldnt do enough for us.

    We had the aroma of drains in the bathroom each evening which seemed to settle through the night. But we did keep the door shut to keep the smell in

    We liked the location and access to the city. Want to pay particular thanks to the barman, Kevin. Made us very welcome and made the greatest cocktails ever!

    Our room was indeed a bit small even to stretch our tired muscles after our long car trip. We had to take turns! So we will upgrade next time we go through Albi!

    We stayed as a stop over on our way back home to Portugal. It was just was we needed after a long frustrating road trip. Reception was friendly and fast. Parking is to be booked and was easy to get to, right at the side of the hotel. Very stunning location with lovely views of the river. Not all rooms have views (you get what you pay for!) but I appreciated how quiet was ours which was at the back facing the courtyard of the front of the hotel. We found the bed very comfortable. It is dog friendly, and there is a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the old city are superb, where you can chill and have a very decently priced meal (and you can take your dog with you to eat outdoors). Their trio of sorbets is out of this world! From the hotel, it is a 10-15 minute walk over the old bridge to explore the old town. We didn't breakfast there but wished we had spent an extra night. For the price of our room, it was one of the best places we stayed in years.

    The best view in the whole of Albi

    • Superior Riverside Room with 1 Double Bed

    While the room was comfortable and reasonably well-appointed, we felt that it lacked charm and that it could definitely do with some basic redecorating to match the stylish aesthetics of the bar area.

    We stayed in a room with a view of the river and the cathedral and I am not exaggerating when I say it truly is a marvellous view: the pink cathedral of Albi rises majestically over the river bank, dwarfing all other buildings and magically changing colour as the Sun moves across the sky. The room itself was not very big but sufficient for a short stay. The hotel's public areas boast a gorgeous bar, with a balcony overlooking the river, and a ground-floor restaurant, as well as a lovely small garden and a car park.

    We had a river view room. The room was very comfortable. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Breakfast was included - all you need to start the day. Location was great. Walking distance to Albi old town with its magnificent cathedral. There is a little bus that can take you up hill if necessary. We could the walk easy - we are in our 70’s.

    Wifi is a bit weak.

    Room 210 had windows on two sides and a great view, but the windows were low, so it was just the right size to see it from the bed. Water was provided from the water dispenser in a bottle borrowed from the front desk. Breakfast was served on the terrace while enjoying the view. Simple and decent, but no vegetables.

    Fantastic view of Albi. Hotel was being renovated so reception area was a mess. It's an renovated old mill and it seems the walls and floor are not soundproof. We could hear other guests and running water from their shower.
