We stayed at the Hotel Le Versailles (not sure where Atel bit comes from, don't believe this is a chain anymore?) for one night and found it a great hotel for a visit to the palace. I had initially thought about Sofitel for location as we were on a tight time scale but was reluctant to pay much higher rate for just a bed for the night. Travelling with a three year old also played a major factor in this. Its a clean hotel, with private underground car park which is difficult to manoeuvre round but secure. We had a nice big room with an extra bed for our little one. Very near to the gates of the palace which was ideal. Eating in Versailles was a little more tricky, a bit of a walk as everything centred around "Les Halles" (the covered market area) but once there lots of choice althought I wouldn't the American Style restaurant for fine dining!
Breakfast at the hotel was great lots of choice and plenty still available even though we were last down. All in all, a good hotel for a visit to the Palace which is beautiful and heaving with visitors. Tip: If Golf Cart not appealing take the little "hop on hop off" train. Visit Petit Trianon and gardens they are beautiful but only open after 12noon !

I stayed at this hotel for four nights on a sightseeing / shopping tour with my friend. I chose the hotel mainly because of the price and location. The location of the hotel could not be faulted - one minute from the Chateau of Versailles, which could almost be seen from the door, and only a few minutes walk from any of the railway stations serving Versailles which meant that we never had to walk far in Paris to get a train back to Versailles. As for the price - although not unreasonable, having spent one night of our stay at the Sofitel in Versailles, I think that I would spend the extra money next time and stay there for the whole week, but only if I could get a deal - otherwise, the Atel le Versailles was fine, the room was large, and the staff friendly. There was also a garage available (€15 per night) which I found useful.

Arrived in Versailles with nothing booked and no idea at 9pm on a rainy night and after driving around for an hour looking for a hotel chain we recognised - and finding none, decided to stop at the next hotel and landed here! What a lucky find, three star rated but moving up, excellent rooms - very large with balcomy and over street view. Situated about 50 yrds from palace entrance down a side street, good parking - secure and undergound. Hotel staff very helpful and accomadating - provided maps etc.

Only drawback is hotel is being refurbished and there was some building noise, however only after 9am and always stopped by time we got back - the management are booking rooms away from the work so this was only a monor inconvenience.
