    Great value, great location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Superior Twin Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Rooms are very tiny. Just enough space for the beds. Very little storage space so when you are in for several days it ends up a bit cumbersome. But that is ok. not big issue. The Wifi is not stable. Difficult to stay connected.

    The location is great. This side of Versailles is very posh and residential. Close the the Market place, pleanty of nice restaurants around. Breakfast is fine. Rooms are clean.

    Room size is on a smaller side and bathroom door wasn't locking, which wasn't great as we had a child with us that wouldn't respect privacy.

    It was super clean, staff were very friendly. Location is great too. It gave cozy Parisian feel.

    The size of the room for two people and that the bath room was not ventilation.

    The hotel has a very nice location. We had a nice room, it was small for two people, there was not so much space but it was clean, The personnel was polite, friendly and helpful.

    Room was very cold. We could not warm it up. Room was very clean but there was an over powering smell of cleaning fluid like bleach or chloroplast which was very unpleasant.

    Breakfast was ok. No help from the staff though. No one welcomed us, showed us to a table or showed us how to use the equipment. There was plenty of staff but no one offered.

    Great hotel. •Near Versailles-Rive Droite train station. Turn left off the eatery place, cross 1 main road and after Espace Richaud on your left, hotel is on next road. Sign from road reads HOTEL in red. •Near food places and market that was packed on Sunday. •Within walking distance of the Chateau. 10 minutes.

    I went during the Olympics so it was expensive at 300EUR/night. Also this isnof course not a hotel where you stay and hang around.

    The hotel is very well located, close to the vibrant market square. The breakfast is really good and the bar was open til quite late.

    This is a true gem. Perfect location in central Versailles a few blocks from the palace. Clean, nice and friendly. And the atmosphere was great, with a friendly energy to it all. Helpful staff- Parking in the yard was perfect for us as we came by car. Great value for the buck. Not for those who desire luxyry at any price, but more of a conveinient, easy going stay without any problems.

    Would have liked the room to be a bit larger, but it was sufficient for what we needed.

    We were staying at the hotel for the Olympics. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Palace of Versaille. The room was on the small side, but was clean, well maintained and the aircon worked well! The beds were comfy and the shower good. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel - but the restaurant area looked clean and comfortable.

    The room was on the small side, especially compared to typical US rooms. However, the location was great!

    The Hotel was within reasonable distance to Versailles (we used Uber) and within walking distance to multiple restaurants/bakery/pharmacy. We did not try the breakfast since there were so many local options nearby. The staff was superb and very helpful.

    Staff friendly but sometimes the receptionist was doing too much joke then this can be annoying. He also had an issue with a customer and he was upset then told me the story that I don't want to be part of.

    Close to the center and a few minutes walk from Versailles palace and the train station. I did checked in my room in advance and they allowed me to receive a parcel and kept it safe for one week before I arrived.
