Stayed at the Au Royal Hotel in Carcassone off-season in chilly, drizzly November weather and were very pleased and comfortable. My sister and I requested separate beds and actually got two rooms ensuite, each with its own bathroom : toilet & shower, and a door that closed between so we could each stay up late or get up early without disturbing the other. This small hotel has good amenities - wifi, breakfast, heat, reading lights over the beds, but no elevator. It is located in the main city (La Bastide) an easy walk from the train station and the Canal du Midi, and a longer, but very scenic,walk over the old bridge to La Cite - the medieval walled town on the hill. Au Royal is located on a tree-lined boulevard, among the downtown restaurants and shopping, just up the street from Square Gambetta, and the Musee des Beaux Arts.
