Hotel des Lys

The staff was very nice. We arrived a bit earlier, but he rearranged the room for us so that we could check in immediately. He also informed us about the area, it was very clear and kind. I was worrying bout the parking because I've had heard that the space was limited. But I arrived there early Sunday afternoon and I could find my space easily. We could walk to Versailles Palace from the hotel, and it was also easy to go to Paris by train.

This hotel is on a little side street and doesn't look like much from the outside. But it has been beautifully renovated and the room was very modern and clean. Great central A/C which was very important because France was having a heat wave. The bathroom was tiny, but newly renovated with excellent water pressure. You have to pay extra for a buffet breakfast every morning. But the breakfast was good with a lot of variety. The location was also good within walking distance of a train station and lots of restaurants and shops. They have nine parking spots in a tiny parking that costs 12 euros a day.

What a nice hotel! We particularly liked the breakfast (simple but very good choices, for each something) and loved the staff (really helpfull, reception personnel very nice and smiley), the neighborhood (very close to restaurants, a big nice market with fruits/vegetables and not only, cleanliness (we were pleasantly surprised the room was nicely cleaned, and used towels were changed after one night only).

Our room was perfect for us. We have two scooters. There was ample space to stow them away in the room. They didn't get in the way. The bathroom was fully handicap accessible with a shower seat and rain shower. I had the best shower.

The room was small (urban area), my pants were soaked from arriving in the rain. I found myself wishing the room had clothes hangers for pants so they could dry. And I found pant clothes hangers in the room. Then I found myself wishing for an extra pillow and blanket and I found these things in the room. The accommodations very thoughtfully provided everything we needed. Breakfast was wonderful (although thank goodness we were one of the first arrivals because the room became very loud and very busy with all the travel tours). We asked if we could leave our luggage while we visited Versailles and they accommodated this. When we came back from visiting Versailles we brought food purchased nearby and were so tired and asked if we could sit at the breakfast tables to eat and they let us. We interacted with 2 different employees and both were so pleasant and friendly and helpful and kind.
