Pros: The on-duty receptionist had phoned us just before we left the UK to check on our late arrival time

Cons: It was late when we arrived and the receptionist had phoned us up earlier to check on our arrival time - midnight. However the automated sign in would not accept any debit/credit cards so we had to wake him up. The room was very small and OK but the bed was extremely creaky and the bathroom door would not close. Two light fittings did not work

Cons: all good except the shower,this leak's onto the floor and soaks anything on it

Pros: You expect a certain standard from an Ibis and this place delivered. The staff were really good, helpful (including helping me print 5 boarding passes for our journey home). The lady who ran the restaurant was funny and charming as well as efficient. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. The buffet breakfast was very good, although nothing hot, apart from toast. We only had dinner one night (see below also!); the choice was limited but there was a meat dish, a pasta dish and a fish dish with buffet starters and sweets. The food was cooked nicely and the portions were generous. Wine was quite competitively priced too.

Cons: A group of 5 of us had travelled for the European Rugby Champions Cup match between Castres and Gloucester. For us, without a car, it was a little out of the city centre but taxis were available when we needed them and the local bus service from outside the hotel to the centre is free (sadly it only runs until approx 7:00 PM). It was a 40 -50 minute walk depending on your level of fitness and alcohol consumed. I was also disappointed that the restaurant didn't open Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays for dinner (although breakfast was always available).

Pros: Secure fenced off car park. Superb breakfast. Good restaurant when available ( see negatives ) Great location. Modern as newish building. Room large and well appointed.

Cons: On arrival at reception I found out they had already taken payment from my credit card earlier that day. I pay cash on my travels. I understand the supplying of your card details was only to guarantee payment. I had not authorised this payment. Be warned. The restaurant was unavailable on the second night as a rugby team were staying there. I was not given prior notice of this and only found out when I tried to book. McDonalds is 100 metres away and had my custom. I would not have booked this place had I known the restaurant was not available.

Cons: A long way from town centre, but close to large shopping complex.

Pros: Excellent room, great size bed, hotel was virtually empty, loads of good restaurants in castres

Pros: Staff accomadating

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location of the hotel was excellent - right in the centre of Castre. The bed was very comfortable and we had a very quiet room which was very clean. We really liked the central hall which is an enclosed courtyard with lots of plants and interesting features. We ate breakfast each morning and were very happy with the quality and selection of the buffet. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel if you wished to stay in the centre of Castres.

Cons: The bedroom was a little on the small size.

Cons: Cold floor in Superior room (London).

Pros: PERFECT! COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE! Hotel is super well located in the center, beside the main square with lots of restaurants but on a side road so quite road with no noise. The hotel staff are EXCEPTIONAL. I had some travel difficulties due to French transport strikes and they helped me so so so much. I was travelling alone and was in a room in the theme of Venice, lovely bath and quite with a comfortable bed and large flat screen TV, clean and charming room. The whole hotel has a very charming and unique feel with a lovely breakfast, great central location and very genuine and personal staff. One of my best stays in a hotel ever!

Pros: Great breakfast, and it is a hotel with loads of character. We would definitely stay again.

Cons: The bathroom had a double sink, which seemed unneccesary - the space would have been better used to make it easier to get into the bath/shower, as the space was very tight.

Pros: Historic hotel with lots of old world charm in the centre of Castres.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: The hotel is very well situated to explore Castres. While it is in the centre, it was very quiet at night. The owner of the hotel was really friendly and very kindly upgraded our booking on arrival to a suite (Asie Impériale). It was an absolutely stunning room, most spectacular in its decoration and very generous in size with many complimentary features. With an interior window, the room was wonderfuly quiet and the large Queen size bed was most comfortable. The hotel is very unusual in its decor throughout and we loved it all. Would not hesitate in recommending this hotel and the friendly owners make it a very personable and enjoyable stay.

Cons: We had no complaints and have only positive comments for Hotel Renaissance.

Pros: fantastic location, charming hotel with bags of character, very friendly and helpful staff

Cons: n/a

Cons: Room a bit dark and would have preferred a slightly larger bed

Pros: Great value breakfast and nice hosts Very central and convenient for local sightseeing and restaurants.

Pros: location excellent. owners went out of their way to cater for late arrival due to air and train strike. could walk everywhere round old town. breakfast good.

Pros: A truly wonderful stay right on the river in the centre of this compact and very pleasant town. Friendly and helpful attention from all staff. Rooms are tastefully well-appointed. Particularly liked the large desk, comfortable chair and good lighting by the window looking down on the riverside walk below. If the windows are closed they completely block out any possible street noise; similarly the windows have attractive external wooden shutters that fully block any streetlight at night. The housekeeper was friendly and helpful; both the room and common areas were kept spotlessly clean throughout the stay.

Pros: Location

Cons: Very clean

Pros: Parking and location were excellent and the convenience of nearby shops and cafes made it a good venue for our business trip.

Cons: We have nothing at all negative to say about this hotel.

Pros: Super hotel

Cons: Everything OK

Pros: Hotel was in a great position, ideal for exploring the town. Nice room overlooking the river with fantastic views of the medieval houses, very comfortable, good shower. Old traditional hotel, well modernised. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Parking at the side of the hotel was perfect. Only staying one night originally but stayed two. Would definitely visit again.

Cons: Wooden access ramp (for disabled people) a little rickety and old.

Pros: Very clean and nice room overlooking the river. Very comfortable bed and quiet. Breakfast was nice but not much of it and was served by the owner almost begrudgingly!

Cons: Very strange not very inviting hotel because of the dark decor and lack of lighting in the public areas. No people about for such a large hotel and it seems to be run by just two people who I presume were the owner and his wife. He was friendly enough and showed us to a parking space in the road outside the hotel as we arrived late and his car park was full even though there only seemed to be a few people staying at the hotel. Hotel was difficult to find as it doesn’t look like a hotel with the doors closed and the sign very high up. It was a bit of a strange experience as we had been travelling around Italy and France for two weeks and everywhere had been cheerful and bright in contrast to this hotel. No restaurant open there either. It could be a great hotel but he seems to be doing it all on a strict budget!

Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful and a well appointed room and cleaned daily

Cons: The fact that we were going to eat in the dining room only to find it was closed, we were looking forward to trying the food and wines.

Pros: The staff were quite friendly

Cons: The air conditioning in our room was total rubbish. The room was like a sauna . The public areas of the hotel are dark and dreary.
