Stayed 1 night en route to Spain. Booked via Logis website and hadn't realised that Sarlat was such a tourist draw for very good reasons and that La Couleuvrine was solidly part of the medieval theme. If you strip away all the charm then I suppose this is what I expected from a 2 star Logis with a good restaurant... more

We arrived in Sarlat at about 6 pm and asked for a room at the hotel as it appeared charming with medieval touches to the exterior. We were immediately offered a room and given the key to view it. As other reviews have described, the hotel occupies a square containing the mairie. Our room (9) was L-shaped with a 2nd... more

This is our second stay at La Couleuvrine. It's everything you would expect from a two-star Logis property. It's comfortable, friendly and reasonable. The location couldn't be better. Right next to the Old Town. We like the tower rooms. Yes, they are very small, but the view of the place de La Bouquerie is worth the crowding. Besides, who spends... more

I stayed at La Couleuvrine as part of a Rick Steves tour and the location was absolutely perfect. Could walk to anywhere in town from this hotel. And the Saturday market was just steps away from the front door. The room was clean and comfortable although a bit dark with blue wallcovering. The staff was friendly. I was on the... more

What a place...its a castle. If you can, try and book into room 19 or 20 in the turret. Sartat is the best Medeival town in all of France. We got there on market day (Sat) and we were treated to the best market day we have ever seen. The streets were llined with rows and rows of food, crafts,... more

We stayed here for one night en-route to our main accommodation for our holiday, there was a group of 12 of us - 5 double rooms and 1 twin. The hotel is in a very old building, very thick walls, odd shaped rooms, lots of stairs (but thankfully a lift!). Most of the group were happy with their rooms, one... more

I stayed at the Couleuvrine for one night with a group of friends- we were heading for the Cognac region and decided to stop and visit Sarlat, a truly charming medieval town. They were very gracious to us and let me tell you: a bunch of 16 loud Italians is a bit of a challenge at the best of times.... more

My husband and I stayed two nights in Couleuvrine in September 2005 during our self-guided biking trip in Dordogne. Hotel has a special character including antique canon over huge fireplace in dining room and several royal Louis portraits in hallways. We loved our mansard room in the tower with beamed ceiling and view over the roofs of Sarlat. The room... more

This is a big hotel, located slap-bang in the middle of Sarlat at the one of the town's main intersections. The building looks nice from the outside and is a major imposing icon of the town. No other hotel in Sarlat comes close to its visibility and centrality. We got a cheap room and it was, well, cheap. Small and... more
