La Maison des Consuls

Superb historic and atmospheric hotel in the centre of Mirepoix. Many thanks to the proprietor Bernard and his staff for being so welcoming and helpful. Great continental breakfast and hotel is situated right in the centre of the historic town of Mirepoix. The weekly market in Mirepox is not to be missed.

Right up front it’s a bit hard to find as it’s in the middle of the square a bit further up and opposite side from tourist office. Find a place to park by the church and then go to the hotel. The front desk lady I first came in contact with spoke very little English. She went to find the owner, Bernard who turned out to a be wonderful help! He walked us to the garage and helped bring our luggage back. No elevator of course. Our room was fantastic with excellent air conditioning and antique furnishings. The view of the church and the square were lovely. We came to Mirepoix to go to the famous Monday market. Woke up that morning to see the square etc transformed and we didn’t even hear what must have been hours of set up time for the 100 or more stalls. Very quiet. Nice breakfast. A definite place to stay if you’re lucky enough to be in Mirepoix.

A beautiful hotel in a great location. Parking is a pain but the owner and his staff were very helpful in this regard. We stayed in an ensuite family room ( 1 dbl 2 sgl beds) on the top floor. It was a perfect size and layout for us with aircon, WiFi, mini bar, bathrobes and room safe. It is up a couple of flights of stairs but the staff helped carry luggage. The room had a small balcony overlooking a tiny central courtyard which was a nice feature but it faces the balcony of another room only a couple of metres away. The only English language TV channel was BBC news which disappointed the children but not really an issue. Beds were comfortable and it was fairly quiet given its location which is perfect, situated right in the heart of town. This means though that there is no vehicle access to the building for guests. When we arrived there was a festival in town and the nearest parking we could find was 10 mins walk away. After checking in the owner showed us where we could pull up a couple of minutes away to unload and one of his staff took our luggage front their to our room. He then showed us where we could park in the hotel owned garage about 3-5 mins walk from the hotel. There is a charge for this. Overall staff were friendly and helpful, the hotel is run to a high standard and I would certainly go back.
