Room was excellent except mold in the shower
Only issue was construction right n front.
The bathroom has only a hand spray with bath tub but no shower. The glass divider on the bath tub is good only for people who takes a bath but if you take a shower, water would run down and wet the floor as the glass divider is not big enough to retain the water as well as a shower curtain. Breakfast was good but the same menu for every day. After 2 days, you would get bored with the food.
Excellent
Limpieza pusieron las misma toallas no las cambiarony fueron a 4pm a limpiarlo y porque les dije y no invcuye el desayuno tan caro y nada ofrecen
Una estancia agradable y confortable
Air conditioning was not working great!
When coming by car the hotel is easily accessible Public transportation only buses are nierby
The Courtyard by Marriott offered what we wanted in a vacation hotel. It was quiet. The beds were comfortable. The outlets worked. The air conditioning worked. There was enough convenient restaurants and grocery stores to keep ourselves fed.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great hotel specially for families
Very good area with lots of nearby restaurants. There is a Carrefours right down the street
We were created promptly and with friendliness when we checked in. Our room was beautiful and very clean. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and great amenities. The area is slightly outside of Paris itself, but so close that taxis and Ubers were still very inexpensive to get to the hub of Paris. Many restaurants are in walking distance for breakfast and dinners. And although we didn’t go to the restaurant in the hotel, it looked amazing. Great stay, highly recommend.
Great hotel, Spacious rooms and very friendly staff. They have water coolers available as well. They accommodated late checkout for me as well. Highly recommend. Great location as well. Very close to port de versaii metro station. To eiffle tower, its just 9 euros through bolt cab.
The internet connection could have been better during my stay.
Great place!
Good hotel!
Nice sized room, floor to ceiling windows, well laid out and modern, very accessible to transportation and restaurants, great value for Paris
Séjour très agréable
Chambre réceptionnée à 19h, nous sommes arrivés à 16h. Il a fallu aller à maintes reprises à l’accueil pour demander quand aurions nous notre chambre. Aucune information..ensuite problème au niveau du petit déjeuner réservation pour 3 personnes avec preuve à l’appui mais vous vous n’aviez que 2 personnes de réservées. Ensuite, nous commandons au restaurant de l’hôtel, nous demandons une table ronde arrivés sur place table rectangulaire, nous commandons des salades César et pâtes on nous répond : désolé nous n’avons plus de poulet!!!! 😳nous sommes partis ailleurs!!! Ça fait beaucoup pour un séjour de 2 nuits. Nous payons pour avoir un service de qualité surtout pour un hôtel de 4 étoiles !!!!!!! Honteux, lamentable. Au moment de partir, nous avons demandé à l’accueil un geste commercial : attendez, je vais demander à ma supérieure : rien, aucune excuse. Vous ne méritez pas vos 4 étoiles. Ce qui est certain, c’est que nous n’y reviendrons plus. Nous avons été extrêmement déçus.
Really nice staff and beautiful rooms as well! I will definitely stay here again
Superbe we dans cet hôtel. Il est bien placé à proximité du métro. Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables. Le petit déjeuner est bien garni et varié.
Friendly and quiet. Good for Family.
Great location, close to metro, kind and attentive staff Highly recommend
The staff at the front desk, restaurant and bar were very good. The hotel is very nice but quite expensive. We were there for 5 nights and the replenishment of supplies in our room was lacking (toilet paper, coffee supplies). On the whole it was a very nice place to stay.
Everything was great. The hotel was clean and all the people were so friendly They made us feel so welcomed It’s a little out of the way but for the price it’s so worth it. I’ve stay at hotels closer to the Louvre for the same price and they were not nice. So we simply took the metro. It was so close to the hotel and easy.
Booked a 3 night stay. Proximity to the tourist attractions is about 15-20min Uber ride. It’s a decent area. Checked in - first roomed offered smelled like mold in the bathroom. Came back to reception to have our room changed . Second room offered smelled even worse. It also had clothes on the bed from the previous guest. Had to come back downstairs to reception to complain. We were eventually moved into another room ( supposedly an upgrade for the inconvenience- room was nothing special ). For 2 of the 3 nights of our stay, the upgraded room had no heat. It was so cold and uncomfortable that we had to sit in the lobby on one of the nights to warm up. Repeatedly complained to reception about the heating issues. Response: we will send a technician to look into it but no one came. The TV in the room was also not working. Finally on the last night of our stay, they sent someone to install a portal heater in the room. Our stay was horrible. Always sworn by Marriot as my only hotel choice but this time I was so disappointed. Manager on duty offered 5,000 bonvoy points as compensation for the 2 night. The value of these point is $45 ( so insulting ). I declined it. I paid over $300 per night for my stay.
Spent two nights in the Junior Suite, and the staff were helpful and polite. The breakfast was excellent. I don’t think I have any concerns.
Parfait propre bon petit déjeuner service tout à fait correct. Très très bonne emplacement par rapport à la porte de Versailles
Très décevant. Bel hôtel, réception très professionnelle mais le house keeping est un désastre. Chambre non refaite, 45 minutes d attente pour des serviettes de douche, résultat, raté mon rendez vous d affaire. Encore une fois, la réception est au top
Very nice stay
restauration rapport qualité prix moyen
Nice and comfortable.
Good location
Great location for the exhibition centre.
Good hotel Clean
Très grande chambre et hôtel neuf. Le tres grand lit et un plus. Petit déjeuner un peu cher pour un standard de buffet continental. Pas d'œufs au plat par exemple. Mais ensemble très bien
Good location outside the busy Paris and convenient for visitors
Couldn’t park with a roof box easily in the area so the hotel kindly helped to take the roof box off and store it for us. The only downside was booking through Expedia as you cannot claim your Marriott points when doing so!
Nice hotel to stay in very clean very quiet. People are nice walking distance to the metro free shuttle to the hotel from airport and it only cost six euros to go short back to the airport overall experience very nice has good breakfast for a very reasonable price 15 euros. Also, I like that I was able to do laundry travel very late spend about an hour to do laundry and it was worth it. Will definitely stay here again if I come to Frankfurt.
The hotel location was near a metro with an easy walk. Overall I had a good stay at the hotel. The only issue was lack of towels in the room.
Very nice staff with stay here again and recommend others to stay here too quiet very away from all the hustle and central Paris
Good
Perfect hotel and great value. Room was comfortable and quiet. Excellent breakfast.
Très bon séjour Dommage que les oreillers soit inconfortable
So comfy in room, gym was top notch for a hotel, service was great, beds and pillows amazing. However, I didn't think €14 for a club sandwich out of the fridge was acceptable and no milk in the room for tea and coffee.
Good quality and fairly large room …close to restaurants and local stores
My wife and I both have vegan diets. Breakfast was not included in our stay for some reason, and one morning I was in a bind and had to pay for one. The price is probably justified if you were able to take advantage of everything the hotel offered, however €22 for cereal and fruit is extremely expensive. The rest of the time we just used the toaster to toast our own bread and English muffins, and drank our room coffee. Lastly, I don’t know whose idea it was to install glass doors for the bathrooms, but what a mistake that was. Any time your partner wants to use the bathroom at night and turns the light on, it floods the main room with light. Disturbed our sleep at no fault of our own.
My friend and I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Paris Porte de Versailles from August 24-29 . Our stay was fantastic. The hotel is beautiful , spacious clean . All staff were very friendly . Great location walking distance to metro and a lot of restaurants across the street from the hotel . Would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Very good breakfast
Clean and comfortable rooms great dining very knowledgeable and friendly staff great spot i would come back for sure
Beaugrenelle Mall & city drive 20min $12 uber. Grocery store nx door & pizza restaurants across street & at corner as are pastery shops on street of hotel. 5 min walk to post office & shopping on street. Safe & quiet location
部屋は広めで清潔感があって良い。 チェーンホテルだが、基本的なアメニティ、バスローブなどを置いていない。 駅から徒歩10分、パリ中心までメトロで20-30分と遠く、効率的に旅するには不便。
Nice location
Hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable. Rooms are large and quiet, a must when travelling for work! Staff are pleasant and helpful.
Great access to the convention centre
We enjoy the property !!
Not what I expected from a Marriott. Our towels were not cleaned and the AC did not work. Location was good, however, there was construction right outside the hotel and there was no notification of this prior to booking.
tres bel établissement récent idealement placé pour les événement portes de versailles avec parking spacieux en sous sol
Rooms were great
Best hotel I’ve been to in a while can’t lie
A good clean and modern hotel with excellent staff
None
Very pleasant stay with a lovely clean and quiet hotel, kept in great condition and with very helpful staff. Front of office was excellent and the bar staff and cleaners were very good. Good location with plenty of restaurants nearby, along with good access to roads and public transport.
Staff should learn to smile. Elevators erratic
Everything was close
We really enjoyed the hotel and the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We were able to make the most of our trip with their guidance and we plan on staying here for our next rip to Paris.
The staff was so nice and the breakfast was good.
Excellent!!! The employees as well as the property are excellent.
Beautiful, clean hotel with helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again
Hotel was clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious everyday. Close enough to the metro that it was convenient to get to all the sights. Staff was helpful. Would stay again.
Awesome
We are happy
Gréât location
Lovely hotel and rooms very comfy
The hotel was very clean and the staff was super friendly!
The hotel was OK, just a few negative things and some recommendations: firstly, the reception area, when we first got there were were very tired and I’m pretty sure there were a ton of free employees and none of them cared to help, and that was not the best experience regarding that this was our first time coming there. Also, they should definitely have people wait outside when guests are coming because they should help them with luggage’s, the rest was ok just a few recommendations to make this a better place for other guests.
This hotel was amazing! I fell in love with this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the size, the color, the rooms were amazing. I will be coming back
Staff wasn’t friendly. Bathroom smelled very bad.
This was a great hotel. The staff was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. The rooms are spacious, clean, and quiet. Beware the location is not central Paris (and you're not paying central Paris prices), but the 12 line (Metro) is only a 5 minute walk.
Beautiful hotel
Perfect stay, and room was much bigger than a typical Paris hotel. We were there spending the weekend in the city. Easily accessible to public transit, so we were able to get around without issue.
Great location
Clean and excellent staff aervice
Great stay but my suit was stolen from my room.
This was a terrible location that shouldn't have had ground-floor rooms but did. Huge floor-to-ceiling panes of glass on street level in an unsafe part of Paris that practically invited passersby to attempt to break in. (I heard glass shattering during my stay.) The beds were shoddy -- my bed's mattress was a completely different size from the box spring -- and customer service was lacking. I asked three times for a toothbrush and toothpaste, and was told three times that it would be coming "immediately." I asked staff currently cleaning rooms if they had anything. It took over an hour for one to be delivered. These are all signs of disorganization and poor quality control that hint at larger issues throughout the building. I would not encourage other visitors to Paris to stay here, either at this Marriott, or in Issy in general.
Very nice, clean, up-to-date hotel just outside of the city with quick access to metro. Had a wonderful stay for a great price
I was very happy with my stay all the staff were very friendly. They were knowledgeable about the area and happy to help.
Alina was superb! Very friendly and helpful to non-French speaking travelers.
