Albi hotellia

Plussat: Beautiful hotel, with a wonderful pool. Friendly, helpful staff, just as expected from Relais Chateau.

Plussat: Stunning setting, relaxed atmosphere and really friendly staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast poor especially for cost.

Plussat: Very relaxed atmosphere excellent food and Wine choice, the sommelier was extremely helpful and wine advise perfect, the Room was most comfortable in every way

Miinukset: My only slight criticism was that a young lady member of the staff wasn’t very friendly and seemed quite abrupt, maybe she isn’t happy in this position.

Plussat: Attention to detail

Miinukset: Difficult to get to town without a car. Easy to park in town though.

Miinukset: They do not really have a restaurant. If you book ahead you can get lunch on some days. Otherwise there is some bar food. On many days the same is required for dinner. This is different from what their literature and website says. It is a REALLY nice hotel, but do not expect to eat there unless you plan really far ahead. Since they are somewhat outside the city in a lovely location, there aren't any 'nextdoor' restaurants.

Plussat: We were late coming back for dinner and they stayed open to serve us dinner.

Plussat: Breakfast was good value .

Miinukset: To many insects. But to be expected as near a river.

Plussat: Loved everything about the hotel, especially the staff. They could not have done enough for us.

Miinukset: We liked everything about La Reserve and want to return

Plussat: We loved Nicholas. He was truly the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Nicholas.

Plussat: Central and quiet location, beautiful room tastefully furnished, great modern and spotlessly clean bathroom, obliging staff.

Miinukset: The breakfast was poor for a beautiful 4 star hotel.

Plussat: Loved room sizes, bathroom, decor & location

Plussat: Everything was perfect

Plussat: This was our second visit to The Alchemy and once again we were not disappointed. The location in the centre of the old town is excellent and the outside terrace for drinks and dining is a real bonus. The food was as before excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: Everything; location, staff

Miinukset: The size of the room was a little bit small

Plussat: The ambiance, the perfect location, the excellent staff, the attention to detail in the bedroom, and the continental breakfast was good, altogether a most enjoyable weekend.

Miinukset: Nothing, although it did lack a view.

Plussat: A little difficult to find at first but that could have been our sat nav. Once there however it was a wonderful stay. Centrally located with garage for the car and very welcoming for our dog. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was lovely beautiful bed and luxurious bathroom. Quiet at night and warm. I had one of the best steaks ever fully justifying ifs Michelin status. Can't praise it enough. We will be back soon.

Plussat: Marvellous situation and the most comfortable rooms ever. Beautiful bathrooms too. The best thing about the place was the staff, Nicolas , the owner was really charming and so helpful. The food was also the best we had in Albi. Will be going again!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice breakfast, very comfortable bed. The room was completely quiet at night. Free street parking.

Miinukset: There were some creaky floorboards, but nothing to worry about.

Plussat: Host tries his best to give a warm welcome

Miinukset: Smell of sigars & sigarettes in the entire house

Plussat: Spacious bedroom and luxury bathroom - host Dominique is engaging and very knowledgeable.

Miinukset: On-street parking is a bit of a lottery, but in fact we found spaces on every night no more than 50 meters from the house. Might be harder in high summer?

Plussat: the location was good

Miinukset: I put a filter asking for a place with parking, and there was no parking. The WC was inside the room.

Plussat: Warm & friendly welcome from Dominic which was appreciated - he is the B&B. He has great language skills, speaks good English and Spanish and has great stories to tell with funny jokes and fabulous knowledge of Albi Room was spacious & clean, bathroom excellent and very big, great shower. Air con great, lovely furniture, plenty of hanging space. Loved Toulouse Lautrec artwork in our room. Homemade crepes were lovely, nice orange juice. Host is great piano player with a fun personally. Pool a bonus as it was very hot, lovely garden and patio area. Good outside space & location close enough to walk to town centre, restaurants etc approx 15-20 mins. Albi is a beautiful area, lots of historical places to visit. The old town is very pretty, people friendly. Best value is the €34 day pass which gives you access to Toulouse Lautrec museum, the cathedral and audio tour of the city with a 3-course lunch with glass of Gailliac wine included, you can buy these online or go to Office de Tourisme. Recommend L'epril de Moulin restaurant for a fantastic meal, great service, excellent value for money in beautiful old part of the city.

Miinukset: Private terrace needs a parasol as just to hot to use otherwise which was a shame as we would have sat out there - one of the chairs was broken (leg gives way when sit on it) Mattress in Toulouse Lautrec room was very firm, so didn't sleep too well. Only one thin pillow each, pity as bed is beautiful and bedding crisp & clean. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, although we enjoyed the homemade crepes, fresh bread & juice, it lacked variety. Pastries not from local bakery but from supermarket and were mini size. Little or no cereal, on Friday I wanted cereal but only Coco pops left, advised by host needed to shop for more, so Saturday I expected a replenished cereal stock but was sadly disappointed as still only Coco pops available. Lack of choice of spread for bread and pancakes. Advertised as 'buffet' style but items missing for a buffet style breakfast such as cold milk for tea or cereals, tea & coffee is not buffet self service even though there is a coffee machine, you have to ask for coffee and tea - it's a little hap hazard - on first morning there were just 2 small crepes left so 1 each and it wasn't explained more could be made and we weren't offered more. This was only made clear on our second morning. No savoury options so all in all very sweet offering. If breakfast was improved e.g. display all the buffet items, better explanation given with more variety it would be perfect!. No glasses in room for water or wine but was given these when I asked.

Plussat: A great location and a friendly host. The rooms were really well decorated and made up. The air conditioning worked well, and breakfast was generous.

Plussat: What a warm beautiful house, the owner is very charming and welcomed us in the most wonderful way He has a fantastic knowledge of Albi and is happy to share his time with you to ensure you get the most out of your visit.

Miinukset: We liked everything

Plussat: The breakfast was good, if you like marmelade and honey.

Miinukset: I rather have ham, cheese or eggs for breakfast.

Miinukset: Room was little tight.

Plussat: Situation and room space.

Plussat: Very young nut excellent staff, very good location

Miinukset: Niets

Plussat: Quiet and comfortable room, helpful and friendly staff, excellent location and decent breakfast.

Miinukset: Would be nice to get 2 pillows and the room needed a good dusting.

Plussat: Nice rooms. Good breakfast. Good price. Nice decoration.

Miinukset: My room smells not that well. It may requery a good clean of the carpet.

Plussat: Located right next to the historical center, from where you can reach on foot in just a few minutes. The staff at the reception were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms and bathrooms very spacious, clean and modernly equipped. Very good and comprehensive breakfast. Underground public parking, payable, right next to the hotel.
