Stylish... but somewhat bleak

Architecturally brilliant conversion of an ancient prison into a modern hotel. Lots to like about the style, a combination of ancient, brutalist and ultra-chic minimalism. But the room we were in was somewhat disappointing (though my wife thought it OK). We were not in one of the converted cells, so they might be different. Our corner room seemed to be an old office or admin space. There was no place handy to plug in a phone charger. The plug was UNDER a table, and to access it, one had to crawl on the hard concrete floor under the table which was fixed to the wall. Not so easy when you're not as lithe as you used to be. Cold floors, with some rug cover. But the overall feeling was a little bleak. Also, the restaurant (and the bar) were closed on Sunday and Monday. I can understand the restaurant not being open 7days, but the bar?? A street map/A4printed sheet of the town, perhaps with visiting suggestions, would have been a nice touch too.

You are definitely staying in a prison!

In the cell block, it sounded like a prison, with the noise reverberating through the entirieof space, and the open vents part of the original prison let the noise of the city in. Resaurant shut Monday and Tuesday, not great, and so few good restraunts available close by, they get booked out.

Happy to be locked up

What an amazing place! Not just a unique place to stay, but in a great location. Very friendly staff... Rooms are not huge, what do you expect with a cell, but the bathrooms are spacious. Our room was 'decorated', but not all are. Amazing art all around the hotel. We did not use the bistro as it was closed but enjoyed the breakfast buffet, lovely jam!

Had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Hotel La Prison. We stayed in a standard cell which had amazing views over the valley and river, modern en suite and very comfortable bed. The hotel has been beautifully modernised, keeping many historic aspects with modern art, quirky sculptures and gorgeous views from the pool and hotel exterior. The hotel sits next to a stunning cathedral, and walking distance to narrow cobbled streets, restaurants and pretty squares. The hotel restaurant was closed for dinner during our stay but we had breakfast which was well stocked with continental meats, cheese, mini pastries, scrambled eggs, French bacon and local bread and fruit. Well worth €15pp. I would not hesitate in recommending this fabulous hotel in Beziers.

This is just an unimaginably extraordinary hotel in a beautiful city. Felix and Arthur at the restaurant were just superb. The intimidating history of the property is immediately forgotten as soon as you walk in and walk the hotel. Food is delicious and the rooms, while cell-like (no pun intended) are comfortable. Don't let the history of the building scare you. This is a Jewel in Beziers.
