Hotel berhampiran Chapelle Saint Joseph de Glatigny, 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

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

房間比較小，早餐種類一般，停車場入口很窄，地下停車場空間不大，要老手比較能駕馭，每次回來要先去前台讓開車庫門，出入的時候可以自己按按鈕開。附近有個自助洗衣房，可以去洗衣服。房間內的掛衣空間很小，衣架也不夠。附近吃的很多，200米有超市，東西基本一站能夠齊。

L'hôtel et la chambre très propre rien à dire. Le personnel est très aimable et très serviable. Le petit déjeuner est bon mais j'ai connu mieux. L'installation est parfaite, juste à côté du château de Versailles et à proximité d'un restaurant excellent à moindre coût. Je recommande.

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.

It's a great location minutes from Versailles Chateau. Very comfortable bed. Nice bathroom and private separate toilet room. Carpeting is a bit old and only one elevator worked in the hotel. The other was broken for our 3 day stay. Breakfast buffet was just okay but some mornings no eggs or even water. When we checked in at 9 pm in the eve, there were no tables at the restaurant. The front desk said my wife and I could eat with a more limited menu at the lobby bar. We took his advice and the bar server said there's no food service in the bar area. He suggested room service. We called room service from our room and was told there's no food left for a club sandwich. We were told 20 minutes for a cheese plate and it came in over 45 minutes. The hotel is adequate and acceptable but 3 stars is generous. No concierge. When we asked for any advice (like Catholic Mass times) they said ”just go there”. Any interaction with the front desk staff felt like we were imposing on their time. Disclaimer: My wife and I have been traveling for 6 weeks throughout Spain and Portugal in all 5 star hotels.

Great location for a visit to Versailles palace as well as lots of nice cafe's and Restaurants around. Parking can be a problem unless space in Hotel carpark, so need to get there early. Not possible to park outside hotel even though you need a code for the Hotel carpark, so was a little stressful. Our double room was the usual IBIS style, clean and perfectly adequate with a good mattress and pillows. It was facing towards a courtyard so not a pretty view but nice and quiet during the night which was what we wanted for a one night stay. The bathroom was very small but ok for 1 night. When leaving we suggested tea/coffee facility in the rooms as in other IBIS Hotels, which they were planning to do anyway. Breakfast was as usual very nice but the best thing was the very friendly and helpful staff.

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.

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.
