…at is very popular it seems with more affluent tourists and lots of people from Asia with money. But not a hotel I would seek out to stay at again as I don’t think it is great value.

…e about the rooms and the view (of a wall). The staff was very helpful, but housekeeping was more erratic. For example, not restocking the coffee/ milk sachets so after day one no chance of a cup!

…ace to stay, with the room rates fluctuating wildly based on what is on in Paris or at the massive Conference Centre opposite. Once at the hotel things like internet access is high (26 Euros per 24hours) and drinks in the popular Jazz bar in the lobby are also expensive. There are a few restaurants which are also costly. Breakfast buffet is huge and packed, and around 25 Euros. Overall, I like the hotel as is a great location and very quiet and co…

…l. Sad but true! The hotel is the only one within the airport terminals at Paris CDG, situated after terminal 2E and walkable from any of the Terminal 2 areas. It is a modern looking hotel with a nice look and feel in the public rooms. The rooms are large, and well equipped with huge desk, sofa, big and comfortable bed. The bathroom is a bit dated but has a separate shower and bath, which is unusual and good for a hotel. The restaurant was efficie…
…Room 304, originally uploaded by garybembridge. Hilton Hotel Orly Airport Paris France Room 304, originally uploaded by garybembridge. I stayed at the hotel for one night before an early flight to Lisbon. The hotel is very close to the Orly Oust terminal, although not close enough to walk to. There is a free shuttle bus that runs from 6am to midnight. It only takes a handful of minutes to get to the terminal. Not sure how long to the South Termin…
…taking photos on the steps and looking at the grand and expensive Hotel De Paris opposite saying one day I would be back, and well off enough to stay there. It took 30 years, but finally this week I kept that promise. Though to be fair, I was not paying as was on a work trip to attend a conference.. But I am glad I have got to stay at one of the “iconic” hotels of the world, famous for its location. The outside looks stunning and very grand, and i…
…ound £60 I think. For tips on Paris read my Ultimate Tips for travelers to Paris or I have a podcast about Paris that you may want to listen to. You can get that via my site that lists the podcasts at https://www.tipsfortravellers.com/podcasts or via iTunes The best tip I can give is to do the open deck round the city bus tour. This is inexpensive and goes everywhere. It is fantastic. Also if you want to go up the Eiffel Tower you need to be there…
Radisson Bolougne Paris Room 426 (2), originally uploaded by garybembridge. The trip did not start that well, as I had to hang around and wait for my room to be ready for over 3 hours, with conflicting stories from reception during that time. Basically I think the hotel had been very full the night before with large parties that all only checked out late so they had a huge catch-up. They implied as I was here they would give my room priority – bu…
