ibis Paris CDG Airport bintang 3

This hotel is in a really convenient location for Charles de Gaulle airport. The room was actually more spacious than the one we had stayed in previously in another nearby hotel. Décor is very basic but everything worked well. There was a desk, open shelving, adequate charging spots and good WIFI. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked fine, the prefabricated shower had good pressure. There are a number of sitting areas on the ground floor as well as restaurants, bars and café areas as well as some outside seating. These are quite spacious so you don't need to feel stuck in your room. All in all the hotel provided value for money and is probably the easiest place to stay near the airport. The big letdown of the Ibis CDG was the quality of the buffet breakfast and dinner. We didn't book them when we made our reservation but did pay the extra to try them. Unfortunately the hot food (chips, pizza, etc) were quite cold and generally the range of food items wasn't as good as we have had at other hotels including other Ibis hotels. However, there are other a la carte options available and you can pick up food from the nearby Marks and Spencer so you don't have to eat here. A minor niggle is that the price of a coffee in their all-day café is dearer than that in the bar but don't wait for the bar to open because the coffee machine won't be ready.

This hotel is very very basic but clean and tidy. The most important thing about it is the location which as we know is everything. Straight out of shuttle between terminals and has a restaurant on site so great for 1 overnight. I wouldn’t want to stay longer though.

The hotel staff were super nice! I went to purchase a panini tomatoe and mozzarella sandwich and the Afro-French girl who rang me up and heated the sandwich up was EXTREMELY rude and impatient. Nobody was in line to order but me and I guess I was interfering with her chat time she was having with a young Caucasian boy working there also. Will not go back to eat there.

The room was very clean and efficient. The shower door design isn’t great, gaps down the side and bottom which means water comes out onto the floor. Arrived at a busy time so you could see the staff were stressed and a bit fed up, which is understandable but perhaps an alteration to check in during this time would help them and the customer. Unfortunately there was a family of rats in the garden right outside an entrance which I assume/hope precautions are in place so they don’t enter the restaurants but it was a bit unsettling. Only visited the pasta restaurant inside, there were limited options for food and it seemed quite overpriced. The food was nice but I don’t think it was worth the cost. It was a good hotel for convenience in regard to travelling to/from airport but if I was here for a few nights I may have felt differently about the trip. One night was enough. Wouldn’t recommend for a holiday but for a brief encounter I may.

Con: I was charged twice, and despite 2 months having passed and various email correspondence, I have not be refunded the second payment. Pros: The hotel itself is very nice, clean, and makes an early AM flight much more convenient! However, I will personally go with another airport hotel next time to avoid the frustration of being charged twice.
