Hotels Near Parc de Versailles in Versailles

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

We stayed at this hotel for only one night. We chose it for its location to the palace, only a 10 - 15 minute walk. We stayed in a superior room, which was jaw dropping when walking in. All the staff were really friendly and could not do enough for us to make our stay very enjoyable and we had no complaints about the hotel or the staff and would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Versailles.

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.

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.

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

The reason we've given the Hotel des Lys 4 stars rather than 3 is the location. Just around the corner from the Market Place in the centre of Versailles where there are lots of bars and restaurants and a fairly short walk to the Palace of Versailles. The hotel itself is ok - a little bit dingy in the public areas but our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The car park is difficult to access p a very narrow alley at the side of the hotel and once you've got in, it's very difficult to make a 3-point turn. We booked the hotel as the first stop on a two week tour of the Loire Valley based on previous reviews and we'd certainly recommend it if you want to be central and have easy access to the Palace

The room is small, the breakfast type is general, the parking lot entrance is very narrow, the underground parking lot space is not large, the veteran can better handle it, every time you come back, you have to go to the front desk to let the car garage door, you can press the button when you enter and exit. There is a self-service laundry room nearby, you can go to wash clothes. The space for hanging clothes in the room is small and the hangers are not enough. There are a lot of food nearby, there is a supermarket 200 meters away, and things can be basically one stop.

Outstanding from start to finish. I was contacted prior to the booking to sort out some anomalies in the booking, by telephone. Subsequent communications about our potential late arrival and the availability of parking was all dealt with very promptly and efficiently. The welcome was fabulous and the lady on reception could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Our room on the top floor was absolutely brilliant and had everything one could need even for an extended stay. The one and only drawback would be it is of course on the third floor and there is no lift so if stairs are a challlenge it could be an issue for some, in that specific room (gallerie des places). There are ground floor options and so I would suggest that is asked for if stairs are an issue. The parking one can book is a very short (30 seconds?) drive away and accessed off a narrow street and has a tricky entrance. Once inside all is easy but I can imagine some drivers with larger cars would struggle a little more than we did. Great location for exploring the nearby Palace of Versailles and a terric place to stay. It is self catrering and the presence of a small ”city” Carrefour directly across the road open to 9pm is really handy too. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay perfect.
