Hôtel La Prison

An historic place with quirky charm. Nice to have a pool

A very unique hotel, the interior is gorgeous and they’ve renovated it very well. We loved cooling off in the pool area (outside shower is broken though). Great location and we had a drink in the bar outside which has an amazing view over Beziers. There is no aircon, only a fan but we managed when it was 36 degrees as the building is quite airy.

Unique

All good

The location was perfect and the room large but lacking in amenities

This is a hotel that seems to put form before function. There is a lot of artwork but the towels were small and rough. Despite paying more for a deluxe double there was no air conditioning and we checked out early after a very uncomfortable night. No conditioner, no shower cap and not even water offered. Every other hotel we stayed at offered us water. The staff were unfriendly too. They claim that it wasn't possible to have air-con due to the architecture of the building but alternatives to the ineffective ceiling fan were definitely possible. The restaurant and bar was closed on both nights of our stay during the summer season - again not helpful for guests. Sadly overall a very poor experience especially as we had been looking forward to staying here.
