Bizanet hotel guide. Independent hotel in Bizanet, Occitanie

"Incredible location, walk to and from train station in 3 minutes any time of the day. Street lined with cafes and restaurant and walkable to the historical riverside district with market square in 10 minutes along vibrant southern France streets. Charming older establishment well maintained. My room has very high ceiling and windows opened up to a small maintained garden that must be fabulous during Spring and Summer. No elevators but that's a good part of the charm - your friendly in-keeper will carry your luggage should you need. Can't say enough good things about the in-keeper family that makes you feel more than arriving at a home away from home. Especially the younger daughter who just "gets" it with all sort of visitors/travelers. It is definitely a lost art nowadays in managing a small hotel and this is a very few places where you can experience it for yourself."

"This is a small (about 10 rooms, I didn't count...) and quite simple hotel. One notices immediately that the owner, who runs the hotel himself and is very friendly (plus his English is very good! My French, unfortunately, is not...), invests a lot of time and care in running the hotel. The hotel is located in a small side alley (about 10 minutes by foot from the station) very close to the famous channel running through Narbonne and you have all sorts of restaurants and shops nearby, the cathedral is also only a short walk away. My room was small, but nicely renovated (great sense for colors), the bathroom was clean and had everything one needs (but expect to bring your hairdryer). Please note that there also seem to be rooms without a private bathroom, so check this when booking. You can select the components of your breakfast, coffee/tea, juice, baguette, jam, yoghurt etc. The breakfast is very inexpensive (you pay by the components you select) and it's a great way to ensure that food is not wasted. I would 100% book a room again whenever I come back to Narbonne!"

"It was wonderful all around. The only complaints are that we ran out of hot water for showers in the morning, so two out of four people had to take cold showers. "
