Appart'City Collection Saint Germain en Laye

Modern apartments in a hotel format. Best of both worlds - manned reception and all the facilities you associate with a hotel, but independent living. The building is pretty new so the room was pristine. Lovely shower room and very comfy bed. Also very well sound insulated. We heard the trams (not too loud) because we kept the windows open and turned the air conditioning off. Had to do that because the heating is pre-set at 21.5, and resisted all efforts to turn it down! We chose this place as we wanted to drive, to be able to get into Paris easily, and go to Versailles by car. It is even better than I expected - new tram system right outside the hotel takes you seamless onto the RER station concours for catching the frequent fast trains right into Paris (I timed it at 35 mins from hotel to Arc de Triomphe including the tram part of the journey). There is a spacious well lit and reasonably priced car park in the hotel basement. The lifts run from the basement straight to each floor of the hotel, so it was very easy to load/unload the car. The younger reception staff in particular were exceptionally polite, cheerful and helpful. Few eating options nearby - apart from fast food & the supermarket next door. However if you fancy a more pricey but memorable meal I highly recommend Le Bistrot Logique a 10 min walk away at 8 Avenue Carnot. And the market in town on Friday mornings is not to be missed!
