Ibis Styles Albi Centre le Theatro

"The value for money is very good and the Albi Cathedral is well worth a visit."

The Originals City, Hôtel Rive Droite, Albi "Quartier Madeleine"

"We felt very comfortable. The location was very quiet and a four-minute drive from the city. The owner helped us find activities to do in the area. Breakfast was included in the room rate."

Château de Fiac Hôtel & Spa

"Not sure if we hit a bad patch but the hotel needed an experienced manager on duty during what was clearly a very busy period with staff running around like headless chickens trying to do several jobs at once On arrival, we were told that - despite having booked dinner in the restaurant weeks before - the only option was a plate of cold meat and cheese in the garden which wasn't what we wanted after a long day travelling from the UK. As it had been implied there was an issue in the kitchen, we were surprised to see the restaurant was full. The next day reception divulged that separate reservation programmes had been introduced for the hotel and restaurant and some bookings on the old system weren't transferred. To be fair, we weren't charged for the meal but it seemed rather odd. When we had dinner on our second night, it was distinctly underwhelming. The restaurant was under-staffed and there was a 45 minute wait for our starter during which the increasingly harassed waiter brought amuse bouche to pass the time - never a good sign with a limited choice "menu fixe". When it eventually arrived, the crab starter bore no resemblance to the description on the menu and the main course was also disappointing. Requests for water, bread etc. never materialised and tables that arrived after us finished before we did. By contrast, the spa was a well run, calm oasis with excellent treatments although the appointment system didn't seem to mirror the one in reception. We enjoyed the spotless pool although day visitors to the spa shouldn't be allowed to leave their belongings on sun beds all day. Our deluxe double room was OK but nothing special with no space for anything in the bathroom and a walk-in shower that flooded the floor. We wouldn't rush to go back."

La Reserve Albi Hôtel Restaurant

"Advantages with the proximity of Albi, a magnificent swimming pool and view of the Tarn. Rooms with modern comfort with shower, bathtub and separate toilet. A restaurant with honest dishes, attentive and efficient service. A friendly sommelier but taken up with the menus with wine pairings. I had reserved a room on the 1st floor in the secondary building and we were assigned a room on the 2nd floor in the main building. Communication failure?"

Mercure Albi Rives du Tarn

"Loved our stay at this hotel. First, the location, right on the River Tarne, with walking distance to the town centre and the magnificent Ste Cecile Cathedral. Very scenic location, and loved listening to the river. The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and comfortable with Nespresso coffee maker in the room. The breakfast was copious, lots of choices with varieties of Nespresso coffees available. Bonus that we didn’t have to pay for parking either, maybe because it was off season. We really loved the stay and will probably come back to stay again."

Le Nid de l'Ecureuil

Logis Hôtel- Hôtel Restaurant le Rialto

"Quite a surprise, this small 2* hotel really deserves more than 2 stars. The room quality is on a par with an Ibis , very friendly - full marks to Jamal who manages this little hotel next to the racetrack and aerodrome. Makes you feel very welcome. The restaurant is simple, wholesome, and well prepared. I have stayed in four star hotel that don’t match up to this. It is clean, rooms comfortable and welcoming and that is essential above all else for a hotel. Well done."

Logis Hotels Grand Hotel d'Orléans

"We have a number of criteria when choosing a hotel. Large bed, AC, swimming pool, parking, kettle. Ideally fridge and safe. We knew this hotel didn't have the latter 2 but it should have had the rest. However the pool was not yet open and the AC seemed to be absent, unfortunate as the room was very hot even with the window fully open. The room was basic and the bathroom tiny. Two bulbs were not working when we arrived, yes they were replaced but people should check these things. However the bed was comfy and there was good hot water. Parking outside was easy. We liked the breakfast and being able to eat outside on the terrace. The hotel is 10 minutes from Albi centre, an easy walk with pharmacy and supermarket nearer than that so it's a good base. Staff were friendly. We didn't try the restaurant as it was closed on Sunday so we went to eat in town."

Domaine de Lejos - Portes d'Albi

"Comfortable room, beautiful surrounding scenery"

Castel Mazars

"We had a very pleasant stay ... very sympathetic welcome by the couple ... very well-equipped rooms .. Without forgeting the breakfast we took when we discussed with the owners who advised us on the choice of visits to this beautiful region at the many historic bastides . We recommend all the guest rooms in CASTEL MAZARS ... ideally located to discover the richness of this territory, it is an incontournable stay."

Hôtel Renaissance

"Hotel is excellent, very friendly staff, medieval."

Hotel des Consuls

" Inhospitable greeting from the owner who left our group to find our rooms in the dark and offered no help with finding food in the area after travelling all day. Rooms rather tatty ,breakfast service poor."
