We had a very unfortunate experience at this Steve's recommended two star property. Our initial room was really dirty, right down to mold in the shower! The hallways that are carpeted closer to the lobby area, have a horrific stench which concerned us immediately on the way to our room. Guess this really was a livery at one point! We... More

Hello, Thank you for your comment. I'm ever so sorry you had such an awful stay. What you speak of is absolutely unacceptable. We trust our room-maids to fully complete their task and in a fitly manner. But it obviously seems that we will have to have our rooms inspected more frequently. Should you remember who you dealt with for... More

Simple, but clean and comfortable room. Good nights sleep for sure. Very well located right in the heart of town. Staff spoke English very well. Only downsides were: 1) wifi... Free, but I was at the end of the hall, and connectivity was awful. If you need it, ask for a room centrally located on check in. 2) breakfast... Sure... More

Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Our wifi isn't quite up to standards in terms of range. We are currently working on this issue but indeed in the meantime it is best to ask specifically for a room where the wifi reaches best. Our breakfast is not composed of anything cooked and is undeniably quite basic but... More

The strongest benefits of this hotel are its location, free and secure car parking and free WIFI... in the middle of Versailles literally by the market square. Hence you will pay for that but not necessarily for the sleep comfort. The bedroom is bare minimum, basic as if it were a dull student accommodation. No decorations for example on the... More

The best thing about this small hotel is it's location. The staff are not anglophones, but do provide a good service for an good price. The courtyard has a beautiful rose garden, and the rooms are minimal yet comfortable. Our only complaint is that sometimes guests listen to the televisions very late at night, and can be heard between the... More

We just stayed at Cheval Rouge a week or so ago. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice. It was an older hotel, but the exterior has a lot of charm. It is about a 10 minute walk to Versailles. The rooms are very basic, no frills. The parking was nice, because it is off the street, in a courtyard.... More

We stayed for one night. At the reception we were well received, all explained even advised of were to eat. The bedroom was clean and comfortable, also worm as it was really cold out side. Free WI-FI. And secure parking. At night you couldn't ear a thing so we slept well.

We stayed here in early December 2012 just for one night and I was very glad I chose this hotel out of the many on offer in Versailles.
