La Tour de l'Horloge

We really liked this magnificent establishment, full of charm and personality, which is also very well located and easy to find. The owners have great taste and an eye for detail. Our room was comfortable and perfect for the family. The good and copious breakfast was served to us in a magnificent patio with superb furniture with personalized table service in the image of the hotel. Which class! We really enjoyed our little stay and we will be happy to come back.

A great quiet little hotel in the centre of the old part of town. Basic but clean and comfortable. Great value for money. It is no swanky but tickets all the boxes for us: Very clean, comfortable, quiet, plenty of hot water and powerful shower. All for under €60! An absolute bargain. On top of this the couple who run it are utterly charming. The church bells stop at 10pm but if you are planning a long and leisurely lie it they awake with a vengeance at 7am! On the downside, public parking was a little bit away.

We booked this hotel at the last minute. It is tucked away down one of the narrow streets in the old part of Rivesaltes. We used to go out of our way to eat in the restaurant here many years ago, but the hotel has changed hands twice since then. The second set of owners had only been in situ for a few months at the time of our visit. Gone is the cosy, traditional restaurant: it has been modernised and now looks more like a cafeteria and so has sadly lost its character. For the moment, very little is on offer foodwise. The new owners are in the process of modernising the bedrooms too. We stayed in the unmodernised family room, into which have been squeezed very tightly two double and one single bed. It is in need of a facelift but was clean. The bathroom is enormous, but the tiny shower had seen better days and leaked over the floor. We did not stay for breakfast so cannot comment on this. We wish the new owners luck with the venture. They will need it.
