Yes, book it if you want the cheapest well-rated base within a few minutes' walk of the palace and you sleep through some street noise. Light sleepers and anyone who needs breakfast in the building should check the details first or look at our other two picks.

This is our Budget pick for Versailles. It suits couples and families who want to spend their days at the palace and gardens without paying palace-area hotel prices. The property lists family rooms, and guests rate the location 9.5 out of 10.
Skip it if quiet nights matter more than anything else. The most common complaint is noise from bars and restaurants at street level, which some guests say keeps them awake. It is also a 3-star address with a short facility list, so do not expect a spa, pool or restaurant.
Location and getting around
The address is 10, rue de Satory, in an area the booking provider labels as the top-rated part of Versailles. Versailles Cathedral is about 0.3 km away, roughly a 4-minute walk. The Hall of Mirrors is about 0.5 km, around 6 minutes on foot. The Petit Trianon is about 2 km, close to 25 minutes, so plan for a longer walk through the estate if you want to see it.
These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes will take a little longer. Guests also mention that the train station is a short walk away, which matters if you are coming in from Paris for the day or staying a few nights.
What guests say
The 737 reviews average 8.7 out of 10, which put it joint first of the 9 eligible properties in the sample we looked at. Two themes stand out on the positive side. First, location: people like being a short walk from the palace and the station. Second, cleanliness: rooms and living spaces are described as tidy and well kept.
The negative theme is clear and worth taking seriously. Noise from street-level bars and restaurants often disturbs sleep. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the street and pack earplugs.
Price and how it compares
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was €101.80 per night for 2 adults. That is a reference, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. In the sample it sat about 18% below the median of €124.06.
Compared with our other two picks, the gap to the Best Value choice is small. Hôtel d'Angleterre, also 3 stars, scored 8.6 at €113.64 a night. The Luxury pick, Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace, is 5 stars and scored 8.1 at €269.90. So you save around €12 a night against the Best Value option and get a slightly higher guest score, while the Luxury option costs more than twice as much and scores lower with guests.
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk and family rooms. Breakfast is not confirmed in the data, so check whether it is offered and whether it is included in your rate.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible properties in Versailles. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick was set aside, and it also shared the top guest score in the sample. A budget option that guests rate this highly, with a location score of 9.5, is the reason it earned the slot.
Before you book
A few things have not been assessed: room size, noise levels by room, renovation condition, breakfast and cancellation terms. Read the room description carefully, since the name suggests apartment-style units but kitchen equipment is not confirmed in the data. Ask for a quieter room if you can, check the cancellation policy for your rate and confirm today's price before you commit.
