Management policy is to organise parties at the hotel with extremely loud music till late at night ( 03.30) and charge guests full rate for not being able to sleep. The reaction of the management gives reason to assume tis happens quite frequently.

I've been on the road for a while for work and was pleasantly surprised at the location of the hotel. The rooms were clean and basically french reproduction. I actually enjoyed my stay and the hotel staff at reception were warm and understanding, (and had no problem in speaking english, as I have no knowledge of french). The best part was the view from my hotel room and from the balcony. The park next door is a great place for jogging, and the location to the town was perfect in regards to reaching restaurants, shops and bakeries...
Overall I loved it, and would definately come back.

Pavilion Henri IV is what remains of the "new castle" of St Germain-en-laye built originally by King Henri IV. I am very surprised at the negative reviews because this was not our experience. It was actually my husband's 2nd time there and my first.

First, bathrooms are being renovated and ours was done and was wonderful! Yes, the hotel IS old, don't stay if you want modern decor or modern styling. That said, I found the decor and the whole hotel to be in admirable shape. Our room was large and luxurious. The breakfast was wonderful with the best fruit I've had at a breakfast buffet in 2 weeks of traveling. The wait staff at breakfast was a bit formal - in manner and appearance but certainly attentive. The reception desk was always very helpful.

We were not comuting to Paris, my husband was working in the area and I spent my days happily exploring the old castle, the park, and the very nice town.

Price was higher on some days but on the lower days it was very reaonable for a beautiful hotel.

I will upload pictures later.

If you love history, you will feel a part of it here. King Louis XIV was born here, Alexander Dumas stayed here when he wrote the Count of Monte Cristo and later build his mini-castle in the area. If you do want to get to Paris, the train is a short walk and easy ride.

Excellent service !
Even better cuisine !
Unique settings !
(rooms could use some upgrading...but ....I admit...not easy in a historic setting)
