ibis Styles Castelnaudary

Very modern and new ‘rugby themed’ hotel over 3 floors. Great bedrooms with a fantastic modern bathroom and separate toilet. An automatic night light activated for 5-7 mins if you needed to go to the bathroom. Our party of 10 had a wide variety of meals in the restaurant from salads to cassoulet and entrecôte steaks. Everybody remarked how very good their food was. Breakfast was very good and plentiful.

There were no negative aspects.

Lovely modern hotel with big rooms and comfortable beds, easy to find from the autoroute. Restaurant is lively, with a good menu and extensive wine list.

Staff at reception could have been more welcoming. Although two rooms were booked, only one was immediately available when we arrived in late afternoon. No apology was offered. The rugby theme throughout the public areas was fine but I didn’t like it in the bedroom décor. That was too much.

The Rugby theme in the Hotel was outstanding with all the photos, framed shirts from all the rugby teams around the world. The breakfast was very good with a choice and the dinner selction had something for everyone. There is a good gym, pool a suna. There is some unique rugby statues in and around the hotel.

Nothing.

Super brand new hotel. Public areas and bedrooms are spacious. Facilities and general decor/ambiance is very good (with some niggles). Staff are friendly and helpful although obviously new and learning the systems. The rugby theme works ok in a slightly tenuous kind of way, but this is a big rugby playing region. Fine for our dog. Good parking. Swimming pool (outside)/fitness/sauna/spa pool although we didn't use those. Food was ok, but nothing special.

Hotel being finished, so workmen evident. Some staff standing around chatting to one another, not so interested in guests. We asked for a quiet room but it faced directly onto a very busy noisy road, so having the window slightly open caused us a problem. Minor points - some lighting bad, especially over the breakfast food bar (difficult to see what is available), and over the bathroom washbasin (whereas the shower was very good, including the lighting). Black decor and subdued lighting meant that the bedroom door entry card reader is not easily seen. The same is true of the card reader inside the room, not easy to see where it is and where to put the card.

What a gem, a shrine to Rugby. The place is full if rugby paraphernalia, signed shirts, photos and sculptures. The guiness was excellent and the food really good.

Showing soccer on the tvs around the hotel until we asked for the the rugby to be put on. No rugby available on the tv in the room. There should be classic games and current games available.

For an overnighter on the route from Nice to Biarritz……what a find. The place is just stunning and the restaurant …..ooh la la…….the chef is on top of his game! General staff just wonderful. To boot if you are into rugby memorabilia…….enjoy!

Absolutely nothing!

Excellent ambiance, great staff, unexpectedly fine restaurant on site. Fine value for money. Excellent beds and bedding. Great bar.

No comfortable furniture in room (except for bed). However, very comfortable armchairs and sofas in lobby

Perfect location near highway - 30 mn driving away from Toulouse and Carcassone. Hotel opened on 1st July 2021. Building and accomodations look great - in perfect state. Parking available on site. Restaurant on site as well - perfect to enjoy a cosy dinner and to taste French specialities. Excellent breakfast - french style.

Clean , friendly staff , good location

There is no water boiler in the room , also I would have loved to have a small fridge to store small nice French food I bought from there :-)

Based on rugby and Twickenham with some lovely touches. This brand new hotel is lovely. Really nice pool and hot tub with a small gym but cool Sauna area too.

The dinner menu could be more extensive and include some salad options. The cassoulet was delicious.
