Hotels Near L'Estacle - Mineraux in Versailles

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.

Rented a suite and there's not even a closet to store your clothes. There is just 4 poor hangers for hanging shirts and dresses. In order to get an iron and an iron board, I had to go down to the front desk since nobody was answering the phone… Right in the middle of the shower, the water becomes suddenly boiling hot. Thinking the mixer was broken, I tried the water in the sink and I had the same issue: just no cold water at all anymore. Of course, this happens right in the middle of the shower. Called the front desk, but nobody was answering, while it was just late afternoon. The problem happened again the day after. The day of the departure, I left around 4.30am in order to go to the airport, and the garage door didn't open. There is no button to call the front desk, therefore I had to leave my car on the ramp and go walk to the front desk in order to ask for the door to be opened. The front desk man said ”oh, I though it would open by itself…” Coming back from the ride around 6am, I tried to call the front desk to get a taxi booking, but nobody answered the phone. I went down in the lobby and the hotel was literally empty. I went back to my room, tried again to call and after 10 minutes somebody picked-up the phone. I told him ”if you're asked by the taxi company where am I going, just tell them destination ABC”. To which he replied ”oh, you can tell the driver yourself when they will ask”. Clearly not listening. The day before leaving, I went to the bar for a dinner since there restaurant was closed… I ordered some food that was brought to me in a pot that was being opened right in front of me and just put in the plate. Just like that, in the pot with the branding and the list of ingredients… I ordered a cold cut plate and it was clearly not fresh at all: the camp was as hard as skin and discolored on the sides, the sauces were discolored as well, the cheese slices were glued one to another. The service is given to kids who have no sense of class or refinement, and they're not even shaved. The lamp that goes from the bar to the outside (which is located inside the bar) is covered with a massive spider net from. As compensation for the cold cut board, I was given a bottle of cheap Bordeaux.

This hotel has a great location. The position and evaluation are very good, and the staff are very helpful. When I had a small problem, they quickly solved it and made sure I was completely satisfied.

Petit déjeuner correct et chambre convenable qui correspond à la classe étoiles de l'hôtel. Nous avons apprécié la proximité de l'arrêt du bus 259 qui permet de se déplacer aisément quand on ne veut pas utiliser la voiture. Quel plaisir de découvrir PORT MARLY et sa promenade sur les quais de la SEINE jusqu'à SAINT GERMAIN EN LAYE! Un agréable séjour dans un établissement accueillant . Hôtel récent, propre avec une belle décoration. Les chambres sont correctes et bien insonorisées malgré la proximité de la VRU. Nous garderons un bon souvenir de notre séjour , de la gentillesse et du professionnalisme de la jeune fille très souriante et sympathique responsable de l'accueil et du petit déjeuner.

The hotel is located in an area that from what I could tell was undergoing transformation from what was probably a light commercial and office area being replaced by new apartment buildings which the hotel was part of and while the area was nice it wasn’t really convenient to anything. On the morning I needed a taxi the hotel tried booking me one but none were available in the area and I walked about two kilometres before I was able to hail one down. This is an apartment hotel and doesn’t provide all the traditional services you would get at a hotel but this one comes pretty close. A small lobby with some seating and vending machines and another area with some lounges and a game table. My room 311 had a handy entry area with a small shelf ideal for your keys and other small items and some coat hooks. The bathroom is off to one side and had a large open shower with just a shower curtain in my room which I think was because it was a disabled room. The shower was a good size but the floor of the shower which was a prefabricated tray didn’t feel as it was properly attached to the floor and had a fair bit of movement. The main room was a good size for Paris and had everything I needed for my short three night stay including a comfortable bed, desk with convenient power outlets and a kitchen which was well stocked with the items you would need on a daily basis for a short stay but more specialized appliances were available to borrow at the front desk like food processor, croc pot and crepe maker I think it was which was a good idea. Overall the room had a nice modern contemporary feeling and more than enough space. Being an apartment hotel concept the rooms are only serviced every seven days which is something to be aware of. I chose this hotel as it was closer to the place I needed to collect my leased car from and given that the French Open was on at the time my options were limited and the hotel had parking but as it turned out I didn’t need it as there was plenty of free street parking right outside the hotel on the two nights I needed it. I really like the Adagio chain of apartments in Europe and this was another great one.

My colleague chose this hotel, I no longer trust their judgement. Room on top floor was very hot, in December, despite all heating in room being switched off it was in excess of 30 degrees. The air conditioning was disabled by the hotel so not useable. Reporting this to the front desk we were told effectively 'tough luck', they would not enable the AC and advised to open the door / window to the balcony which is OK in the day but trying to sleep there is a lot of noise from the roads and this busy area. Needless to say, it was an uncomfortable night. We found the guy at the front desk to be quite rude and dismissive to this request. On top of that, the balcony was filthy - littered with cigarette butts and not at all cleaned.

Great base for a Parisian visit. On Metro linge 4, a great line which cuts through the heart of the city. The Adagio is 10 mins away from the Metro, with a Boulangerie and Monoprix 5 mins away. Our studio was small but well formed, with a small kitchen (inc a microwave, stove top and dishwasher). Loved the balcony as it was warm so the airflow was very welcome. The bed folded up onto the wall and converted into a sofa which was a good use of space. There was a separate bath/shower and loo, which was nicely designed. All in all a great stay, comfortable, it met all our needs and we’d stay again. Being away from the main city hubbub suited us well.
