Claude the owner was obliging to all requests, even providing an area to enjoy the Rugby World Cup and also the terrace where we enjoyed a drink or two. Our 6 rooms all overlooked the Midi Canal thus we enjoyed the ambience of this famous waterway area.

Hotel is very close to canal and centre of town. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Was very disappointed when after booking a room that said on the website had a minibar, microwave and tea/coffee maker, did not have any of these amenities. When queried as to why we did not have these amenities, was told that only some of the rooms had these amenities, and as I had received a ‘members price’ through Expedia, I was told ‘Do you remember how much you paid!’ Was then told that I could use the microwave in the breakfast room, use the tea/coffee facilities near the reception desk ( tea bags provided but had to pay for coffee pods), and to go through the breakfast room out to the garden, down to a fridge for communal use. Unfortunately, opening the fridge, confronted by a bad smell and a frypan of cooked meat and a package of opened raw meat that had seen better days.

A Very Good Stay
When I give the 4/5 stars, that is not to say the Hotel du Canal is a 4/5 star hotel. It's French rating is 2 star but I would say 3 star. However it is a very good 2/3 star hotel & we really enjoyed staying there for 4 days last week. The hotel is situated on the Canal, just as the houses end, so if you walk under the bridge, you are in quiet 'Canal-land'. If you walk to towards the town, you are on the 'high street' in a couple of minutes. The hotel has copies of the town map which has a yellow 'tourist route' on it. Very easy to follow & takes you round all the things you should not miss. We split it over 2 days because we wanted to spend time inside the buildings one day and have a picnic round the Grand Basin the next. Just check opening hours because it is France! The hotel is also a short walk from some very good restaurants. We liked Chez David's 25 Euro set Cassoulet meal: very filling but they will pack up anything you can't eat. The hotel itself is a little dated but we are not fans of large chain hotels so we liked that. It has a good atmosphere & the cleanliness and service were excellent. At this time of year we needed the room heater which was fine. A ceiling fan for summer initially needs the light on but then pull strings switch it on & off. Reviews here have complained about receptionists: we met 4 & they were all very helpful & charming. The parking seemed secure. No actual closed gate but well off the road. All in all a very pleasant few days.

We stayed here because it was close to town and had free parking. The room was clean and sufficient as a base for exploring the area. Walking distance into town. The manager recommended a very good restaurant for cassoulet.

Super little gem on the canal for cyclists.
A lovely place, simple and nice, right along the canal. Perfect for cyclists. Good screech breakfast for a reasonable nine euros. The staff were great and very helpful with my bicycle. All in all a super stay.

Little Oasis on the Canal
I spent one night at this sweet place on the Canal du Midi. My room was spacious with a wonderful shower as well. Once I figured out how to work the a/c, it was very comfortable. There was a local festival that lasted until the early morning hours, but I had been told about it when I checked in and even given ear plugs (that didn't help, but it was fine). The manager was very kind and helpful when the in-room safe malfunctioned. I'd definitely stay here again if I came to Castelnaudary again.

Stayed here as its only half an hour from carcasonne and Toulouse and allowed us easy access to tour the surrounding area. This is a no frills hotel, it is basic but clean, good car parking, so if you are looking for a hotel just to put your head down and be gone the next morning, it's ideal then.

The room was more than adequate with an excellent bed and a nice view of the canal. There is direct access to the canal towpath for a walk to town or into the country. Restaurants are within a short and pleasant stroll. Most importantly, the staff was friendly, helpful and kind.
