Hotel Restaurant Les Remparts sur Mirepoix

Location: Very good. In the historic center, on a street parallel to Marechal Leclerc Square and all the restaurants and shops. Hotel: old building, beautiful and very well maintained. However, the photo of the facade that appears in the advertisement is totally misleading and heavily modified. There is no small terrace with tables, chairs and flower pots on the ground and above, with hanging plants, all of that is an invention. In reality there is only a narrow sidewalk and cars parked on both sides of the street. Although it is advertised that there is private parking at the hotel, this is not true. You park on the street. On Mondays, because there is a market, it is extremely difficult to find parking. Despite what you see in the photo of the facade, there is no restaurant. Room: We booked a double room. But it was very small. Curiously with a large bathroom, the same size as the room itself. Furniture: Double bed. A single nightstand (since 2 don't fit) and the one there is measures 20cm wide. A very small desk (which only fits a laptop and little else) and a chair. Wardrobe with hangers (skirt hangers are broken) and a single shelf at the top. There is no place to store the suitcase (we had to leave it in the bathroom). On the desk there is a kettle for water and infusions (which we had to put on the floor to fit the laptop). The bedding was very clean. But the duvet is very thick for the month of August. There are no extra pillows or duvets available. Bathroom: Very spacious and without furniture. The sink is very narrow, with no space to put personal hygiene items, only a toothbrush and toothpaste. The mirror has a small shelf, but it is tilted forward, so you can't put anything on it. 2 hand towels, 2 shower towels and one for the floor. Soap, shower gel and shampoo (although the bottles were half full or less). Our room faced the street and was very hot and noisy. Very hot, since the sun shines directly on it for many hours and THERE IS NO air conditioning, just a small tower fan. Therefore, it is mandatory to have the windows open, but then a lot of traffic noise enters throughout the day (from 5 AM) and part of the night (until 12 or 1AM). The hotel is located on Louis Pons-Tande street, with a lot of traffic: cars, garbage trucks, many delivery vans, etc. Perhaps in the autumn and winter months there is no problem with noise, since the windows have good insulation, but in the hot months you cannot rest. Breakfast: Good, but not very varied. It is already served on the table and consists of: a basket of pastries (regular and chocolate croissants) and slices of bread (there is no toaster), an individual packet of butter and two small bowls with two flavors of jam, 1 yogurt, 1 glass of juice, a thermos with coffee (there is no decaffeinated), a jug of milk and different tea packets. Service: the owner, Elena, served us. Pleasant and attentive. He speaks Ukrainian, Russian, English and French. When leaving, we had to pay the tourist tax in cash (they do not accept cards) and they did not have change. In short, the value for money is not good (€129 per night). I do not recommend this accommodation.
