My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean and tidy, lacked proper ventilation and could get stuffy. The view of the castle was a nice touch, but noise disturbances from outside were a downside. The service was excellent, with the staff going above and beyond to assist me. The location next to the Chateau de Versailles was ideal for sightseeing, although dining options at night were limited. The dining experience was a bit chaotic and more expensive than expected. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel's location is phenomenal, right next to the Palace of Versailles, providing a great way to beat the crowds. The rooms were of decent size, suitable for a short stay, though the heating was a bit noisy. The service was delightful, with English-speaking staff who offered convenient luggage storage. However, the dining options were quite poor, so dining elsewhere is recommended. The location score is a solid 9/10.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a lovely view of the street from my large room. The spacious bathroom was a definite plus, and the air conditioning kept me cool throughout. However, the room was a bit small, beautifully decorated, and exceptionally clean. I also enjoyed glimpses of the castle as requested.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were quiet and sunny with a good size bathroom, but they seemed a bit tired and could use a refresh. The service was friendly and helpful, but the news of the upcoming closure for renovations was a downside. The location was excellent, right across the road from the Palace, but the dining experience was overpriced for what was offered. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room I stayed in had a great view towards the palace, it was cosy, and looked out at Versailles Palace. The room was well appointed with a safe and storage options to keep suitcases out of the way. It overlooked a courtyard, so it was nice and quiet. The service was excellent and very helpful. The location was extremely convenient, just 2 minutes from the palace front gate. The dining experience was okay but could have been better. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory.

The hotel had well-appointed rooms with comfortable beds and a great bathroom, but lacked storage options. The service was friendly overall, though there were some less friendly encounters. The location was excellent, right across from the Palace, but the facilities could use some refurbishment. The dining experience was decent but a bit expensive.

The hotel had a warm and quaint feeling in the old part, offering a roomy space with a separate bathroom and shower area. However, the room was a bit stuffy due to the lack of air conditioning and noise from outside parties disrupted our sleep. The location was ideal for exploring the town and palace, perfect for a short stay.

My stay at the hotel was truly a mixed experience. The rooms, overlooking the front of the building, were simple yet styled in a way that beautifully complemented the castle visit and surroundings. Despite being stuffy and with a possible odor from water damage, they were surprisingly excellent for a three-star hotel just seconds from the entrance to Versailles. The service was a bit inconsistent but mostly friendly and helpful, even leading to a personal tour of the ballroom upstairs due to a casual chat. The location was great for visiting the Palace of Versailles, conveniently situated right across from the palace, which was the main highlight of my short 12-hour stay. The dining experience, unfortunately, fell short with limited choices, especially at a steep price, making it a bit disappointing. The overall facilities offered were sufficient but not outstanding.
