Beautiful facilities with a wonderful remake from the initial prison building: prison theme was kept and integrated very nicely into the modern days and style. All staff was very nice and helpful including reception and restaurant.

No tv in the room which was also a little stuffy without air conditioning

Very unique and beautiful venue, great pool and leisure facilities and the best location in Béziers

Design of the shower is such that it leaks and floods the bathroom. Our window faced a small courtyard where people tend to hang till 2AM in the weekends. It’s not necessarily loud that you can’t sleep but it might be annoying to some. Finding parking near the entrance might be a challenge. It’s free on the weekends but there’s not much space. Alternatively, you can park either near “Les Halles 1” (underground and paid) or park “parking du pont-vieux” what would be a small hike (but free).

Superb location, nicely furnished room. Good breakfast. Spacious bathroom. Room itself is on a smaller size, but that’s expected from a 19th century prison! Having said that, it’s perfectly reasonable for two with a decent amount of luggage. Plenty of art around the place. Great value for the money!

Fabulous hotel, intriguing refurb and change of use from a prison to an hotel, loved the experience . Room (cell) and bed very comfortable and lively large bathroom. Will come back!

The gym was very very basic and small. The breakfast was very expensive for basically a cold buffet, pastries very disappointing, scrambled eggs and bacon dreadful - cold and inedible

The history of the property is fantastic and the location could not be better. The room was comfortable but I was slightly disappointed it wasn’t a cell although I think they are smaller rooms .

Nothing. It's a great hotel. Highly recommended.

The hotel is in the perfect location for Beziers. My room was enormous, the Superior Double Room. The air-conditioning worked well. The "Very good breakfast" did not live up to the "very good" billing. "Acceptable" is probably nearer the mark. I would recommend trying one of the many cafés in the city centre for breakfast if you want more variety.

Facilities were basic compared to a price of a standard room(cell), WiFi could be improved as it kept on dropping out

Amazing and unique experience in converted old prison. Fantastic views from our room and the pool. Friendly staff

Stayed in June 2024

It really was like staying in an old prison cell. The restaurant was good, but not great, and the restaurant staff were unfriendly to the point of rude.

The vibe of staying in an old prison was fun, but the hotel was rather pretentious for what it was. The views were spectacular, and the convenience of taking elevators down to the Pont Vieux was great.

As a Speciality Coffee Roaster I always have low expectations in hotel catering environments, especially when visiting France. (sorry!) Whilst a Nespresso machine is very convenient, it's lacking in flavour and provenance. You should look into supporting a local roaster.

Excellent choice including local products, such as honey, great with yogurt. Fantastic location, beautifully designed around the old prison roof with excellent views of the old city. Even the tea was good!

A coffee machine in the room would be nice.

The location was great - next to the cathedral and within walking distance of the town centre. The view was beautiful. The decor and art were tasteful and unique.

Secure parking was some distance away

So different! Loved the style and finish, and how a lot of the originality in the building had been retained

Fabulous New Hotel — Family room sleeps 4-5 and sitting area is charming , for a Prison. We loved our accommodations, the historic ambiance and delicious breakfast. Situated right beside the Beziers’ Cathedral, it was an ideal hotel choice.

Difficult to approach by car, as there is nowhere to park. Theoretically you are allowed to drive onto the plateau in front of the hotel to unload your bags, but if vehicles are parked in the handicapped bays, access is obstructed. So you have to park illegally for a few moments to unload, and then find the public car park which is around 10 minutes walk uphill to the hotel, but 5 minutes downhill in the morning.

Very quiet room, although it wasn't immediately obvious how everything worked (lights, air conditioning) and I had to ask the receptionist. Wonderful restaurant with panoramic view of the Pyrenees, unfortunately booked up for the night I was there (but there's a lively cellar restaurant opposite the hotel).

Great breakfast with very accomodating staff. Would recommend to go earlier than we did (we arrived 20min before closing). Beware Sunday and Saturday there are a lot f restaurants closed!

Absolutely no complaints.

The location and view were both fantastic. Wonderful bed and linen. Rooms were clean and large and the bathroom was wonderful.We didn’t have the buffet but it looked nice. I would buy a room as a studio apartment if possible . Nothing but praise… Im not British but NO KETTLE…really this is your usual complaint about this place. Bring one with you on holiday, we bring a fan in case rooms are hot…

Some more history & background to the history of the prison would have been interesting. The prison was on top of a big hill so if you arrive by train get a taxi - don’t walk.

Magnificent view over Béziers - very helpful staff

Lack of kettle in room

Elegant conversion . Nice bathroom Lovely views and situation high on river cliff . Swimming open air pool enticing although too cold on the day we stayed. Next to Cathedral and easy walk to town centre - find the superb Vietnamese restaurant 500 metres away !

Unique and quirky while still featuring all the original features. Turned it into a beautiful hotel with amazing views

There was nothing we disliked .

We loved how the building had been renovated and enjoyed the quirky art work in the hotel . You still had the feeling of it being a prison but obviously had a lot more comfort . The beds are particularly comfortable and the room we had was spotless . The location is fantastic and offers great views and there are restaurants nearby if you don’t want to eat dinner in the restaurant ( we didn’t due to daughter’s food intolerances ) . We did really enjoy breakfast buffet in the restaurant. The food we had was of excellent quality . If we were in the area again we would definitely stay again . Sadly this time it was just a short trip .
