✨ I Stayed in a 17th-Century Prison-Turned-Hotel in France! ✨

How I Found It: Pure serendipity! While hunting for cheap flights on Skyscanner, I stumbled upon Béziers—and then this gem: Hôtel La Prison. 🏨 The Vibe: A 3-star hotel with 5-star charm (honestly outshines many Parisian 4-stars!). Minimalist rooms with all essentials—but the real magic? The historic bones of this 1600s jail. Perks: Rooftop terrace (sunset views!), a cozy bistrot, and a mini pool/gym (dry now, but cute!). 🌅 Why It’s Worth It: €70/night (+€1.77 city tax)—cheaper than a Paris hostel! Dead quiet in off-season—I had the terrace all to myself for golden-hour photos. 📸 Breakfast deal: €6 "express" option = unlimited pastries & drinks (get that window seat!). 🚪 Quirks: Doors slam like they’re still keeping prisoners in (😂), but who cares at €37pp? 📍 Béziers Bonus: Tiny city = walkable in half a day. My Ryanair flight: €15 (but the €16.90 airport bus hurt lol). 🌟 New Life Goal: After this + a sailboat & glamping stays… a monastery hotel next? 🙏 #HistoricHotels #HiddenGems #HotelGoals #Béziers #BudgetLuxury #FranceTravel 🇫🇷✨
