It's not that often you stay in a place so redolent of history. My wife and I arrived a little early and the owner Manuel was charming, telling us a little about the convent's past and how he is renovating buildings. We left our bags and returned to be welcomed by his daughter. During our three day stay we climbed to the top floor to admire the view, including the cathedral. Later that day we climbed to the top of the tower of Saint-Just - more arduous. Narbonne centre and Canal de la Robine are really close by.

Nothing.

The apartment is in a former convent. It has so much history. Yes, you have to watch out for the beams but it's a wonderful experience. Very helpful staff. Within 2 minutes of the old town.

The floor above our room is under construction, and the constant noise was not great.

This is a reclaimed convent near the Canal Robine. The owner bought the convent, and is filling it with his gorgeous, handmade furniture (Louis XIV style). The convent is huge, and spans several buildings- you can even walk up to the former bell tower and see the construction. The designs are beautiful. For the elegance of this place, the price point is amazing; walkable to everything; clean; secure; excellent staff.

Really nicely decorated interior. Also definitely recommend taking the host up on his offer to use the church tower for a great view of the city from above.

The location was perfect and in fact I'm going back tomorrow. I loved it. Very quiet but also near the bustle of life in the centre. So lively at the same time.

Check-in was efficient. Our rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet. We had everything we needed.

Very cosy, great staff and a nice experience to be in the heart of a historical building. Clean, facilities are ok and the atmosphere is lovely.

The light in the stairwell up to the room was out. It was very dark and spooky, and unsafe. We used our cellphone flashlight - just odd and inconvenient.

Very special setting staying in an old cloisters.

The only thing I didn’t like about our stay (not the property) was that we only stayed for one night. I will definitely be returning to explore and appreciate Narbonne as well as La Maison du Cloître.

La Maison du Cloître, Couvent des Carmes is charming, comfortable and so well appointed. We were both very impressed with the work done to restore and renovate this beautiful complex. It is clearly a labor of love that M. Martins has engaged in. It is so close to most anything you want to do in Narbonne. We rented a car and secure parking was extremely reasonable.

Photos of the various apartments made it difficult to understand which one we booked

Location was perfect, and the building was wonderful

Stayed in July 2024

Still under construction, so early morning works/workmen if you wanted to sleep in.

Interesting building/history which added to the experience.

Carrying heavy suitcases up and down steps, but that's unavoidable in such a historic building

Beautiful clean rooms, loads of charm, great location and super-comfy soft beds

Not being able to get in again until 4 PM. Having only a brief introduction to the apartment Having no personnel on hand before 4 PM, although we in fact did not need anyone. The assignment of the remote room may well have been because we did not elect breakfast on the premises

The Convent des Carmes is an ongoing project of a private owner to restore the surviving massive stone portion of a huge convent in Narbonne. It is located in the middle of the old city, about a 15 euro taxi from the train station where we arrived at 9am in October 2023. We were fortunate to discover the main building open where the staff was willing to store our luggage, and we were told to come back at 4 PM. I suppose this is to be expected in any "hotel". At that time, we carried our own bags across the street to another part of the original convent. The room was in fact a fully equipped apartment where some effort have been made to approach something more than modernity, with a chandelier and elaborate ceiling plasterwork. The apartment was properly heated, quite quiet, and very clean. It was only a short walk to the old town center. The building is so large that there is ample locked parking. The windows may have been developed from the originals.
