    Would have liked another pillow as they were a bit low for me, however I didn’t ask and I’m sure they would have found one for me had I asked! Drinks in the bar are very expensive.

    Quiet location which was walkable to the palace and near to a large number of great eateries. Staff were helpful. Comfy mattresses on the beds.

    It is a nice small hotel in the city center, very close to Versailles Palace with a parking, what was important for us. Very clean room with care and more space than usual.

    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.

    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.

    11am checkout. I am used to 12pm at most hotels.

    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.
