Versailles Homestays

We visited just for the weekend and what an amazing time it was. The staff on reception were professional and welcoming, speaking a number of different languages, including English, as did all the staff we encountered during our stay. I was so thankful for this as I saw one of the reviews which stated an expectation to speak French, this was simply not the case for us. We had a fabulous spacious 4th floor room on the park side with a small balcony. The bed was by far the most comfortable hotel bed I have slept in so far and the slippers provided, a much better quality that those in other hotels and we have been to a fair few. The bathroom was great, but just a word of caution if having a soak in the tub as it’s very prone to slipping due to the shape. A rubber mat for inside the bath is provided for you to use. Breakfast was a buffet only (no menu) and was very limited, although you can order a number of different egg dishes. There was just one chef and a bit of a queue. I don’t think this was unusual as there was a polite notice asking guests to come back once they have placed their order, which I did and maybe I shouldn’t have as it seemed that my order was then put on the back burner. I know this as I saw countless others guest getting their orders in and receiving their dishes before me. It’s only when I approached the station that the chef then went to get my order. The eggs Benedict received was ok but very close to being hard boiled and I prefer a runny yolk. The breakfast experience overall was ok, with staff being very polite when you asked them something, but this could have been better by them checking in to see if we had everything we needed, e.g. more coffee. I always think when it comes to hotels and indeed in life that ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’ and so far this year we’ve had exceptional service at breakfast from the Westin Palace Madrid and a truly amazing buffet with options to order extra dishes at the Ritz Carlton in Vienna, both of which renewed my faith in the hotel breakfast experience, so I know more can be done here at this hotel. We didn’t swim in the pool but it was a good size. The gym was amazing if you like like to keep your exercise up whilst away and the staff were very friendly. A tip for guests wanting to visit Versailles Palace & gardens, get you tickets from the concierge if you haven’t booked in advance. Indeed we hadn’t booked in advance and there were no tickets on the website when looked, so we were so relieved when we asked the concierge about this. One of the highlights of our stay has to be the view from our balcony at night of the Bastille fireworks, this was simply outstanding and totally unexpected, an experience which we aim to replicate next year and will return. Merci infiniment

The hotel has good service and sanitation. It is a 3-minute walk from the Palace of Versailles and a 6-minute walk from a vegetable market. There are restaurants surrounding the market, offering Chinese, French and Italian food. It is a good choice for visiting Versailles.

Nice and close to Versailles castle. Walking distance. Good service and friendly staff. It was a pleasure staying there

Great hotel if you want to stay near chateau versailles. It was a 5min walk to get to the palace. We checked in after 12am and the hotel staff was very good to accommodate us. Upon arrive the staff gave us relevant information, helped us with bags up the stairs as there is no lift. He also gave us a cake which my daughter absolutely loved. There was a fan in the room which was good considering there was a heatwave. The have lemon water and passtieries available for free at reception which was a nice touch for myself and kids ro enjoy after a hot day of being outside. We also brought bottles of water which were €2.50. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. We had a double bed which for me and my 2 children in. There was also a sofa bed made up which my eldest child used. Even though we only stayed in the room to sleep for around 6 hours it was a comfortable stay. We did not have breakfast.

We have been in Europe for a week right now traveling to Paris, Normandy and the palace of Versailles. This hotel, by far, is the best we’ve stayed at and the price is very very realistic. The staff, every one of them, has been wonderful with us. The hotel has a lot of amenities that many lack. The rooms are beautiful and quaint. Like most hotel rooms in Europe it is much smaller then American hotel rooms, but that doesn’t bother us. it has a lot of the modern conveniences, but with an old world charm that is reflective of Vienna. You can buy a bottle of beer in the lobby from one of the local breweries, which are amazing. They have many other drink options available as well. The rooms have coffee machines, and there is an ice machine in the lobby.

Spent one night here last weekend, the hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the Versailles Rive Gauche train station. We arrived earlier than the 3pm check in time, but were able to leave our luggage whilst we went for lunch which was handy. We were in room 41 on the second floor - the room was nicely decorated and a reasonable size, with a large and comfy bed and free tea and coffee making facilities. In the lobby there were also some pastries we could help ourselves to which was a thoughtful touch. There was no air con in the room, but there were 2 large fans and we could open the window which helped a bit as it was hot during our visit. On the next street (Rue de Satory) there was a good choice of restaurants and a couple of bars. We stayed on a Sunday night which meant some places were closed, but we had no problem getting a meal and a few drinks.

Ibis Palace of Versailles is cost-effective, and breakfast meets the requirements. Parking is inconvenient and difficult to find for first-timers. Thanks to the leadership of the hotel staff, I found the parking space. Indoor parking is safer. Convenient to visit the Palace of Versailles

This very pleasant, moderate sized and reasonably priced hotel is close to the heart of Versailles. We were greeted in a very hospitable way and all the hotel staff were nice and friendly. This hotel offers a continental breakfast in its small restaurant and our room, although not large, was very clean and comfortable and we slept well. An added bonus was the private car park at the side of the hotel which has a limited number of spaces but which we were able to make use of. Dining out in the evening is quite easy as there are a number of good restaurants just a couple of hundred metres away in the next street and the Versailles palace and gardens are only about a one kilometre walk.

Upon arrival the staff were very helpful and friendly. When entering our room the beautiful scent of fresh sheets and air freshener welcomed us into the room. The view of the Versailles chantier station from our window was a good way to start the day. The hotel is walking distance to Versailles palace and nearby stores and the main train station in the area. There are plenty of restaurants and fast food stores in the area which often stay open till later in the night. Overall this was a very pleasant experience and would recommend this hotel to anyone who is after a clean and conveniently located hotel.
