“Loved the staff, atmosphere and easy access to the palace.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Found hotel through Tripadvisor, Stayed 2 nights.
The hotel is charming and quiet, very close to the palace, so was easy to return to room and then back to the palace.
Breakfast was only european style, however there was plenty to eat and started the day on a full stomach.
Been to a few hotels in France, this rates high in comfort, service and staff attentiveness.
Would recommend this hotel to our friends and use it on our next visit from Australia,
.

Room Tip: Room 102 at front of building with view gates of palace from bed.

“It was like we were in the 16th century (but with modern facilities!)”

Beautiful room decorated in ornate tapestries just minutes away from Versailles. Great service. Would be a wonderful location for an event - wedding etc. Beautiful ballroom.

Room Tip: Nicer rooms are more expensive, interior rooms don't have a view.

“Dusty, tired, needs updating.”

We loved Versailles! Stayed three days, June 30-July 3. Hotel is very close to the Palace, that's about its best asset.
Only good thing is were were at the palace from 8am until closing, then dinner. Returned just to sleep. There must be better accommodation close to the palace.
We found a great restaurant for dinner outside, just down the street - Le Resto du Roy. Excellent beef!

“Charming hotel and great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Really enjoyed this hotel for its location and charming interior. Rooms were small, but clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked a patio for the restaurant, and we were concerned about noise. However, the patio was not in use during our stay. The hotel is right across the street from Versailles, on the west side of the bus parking lot. The staff was friendly and helpful.
