I stayed at this hotel for one night and the minute I payed on the bed I got bitten up by something. I then went to sleep and woke up with bite marks all over my body. The hotel guy only spoke French so it was hard to explain to him what happened. I asked another employee when I arrived could I have a different room because there was stains on the carpet but he told me no this was standard room. Never again will I book this hotel

Excellent staff. Always helpful and willing to go above and beyond. Very clean and comfortable rooms, although small. Only suggestion is that the hotel fixes the shower so it does not spray excessively to the point of getting the floor soaked which is common with the design. Other than that, I stay here a lot and really love the staff.

Decent for an overnight connection. Rated 4 star, but seems less. Tired premises, just satisfactory restaurant. Location best for flight crews next to Orly airport. Nothing in vicinity to visit. Comfortable beds which is what we wanted to help us get some sleep for an early morning flight.

Near to the airport but not a 4 star hotel
The hotel is definitively not a 4 star hotel. Despite being very well located in the airport area I do not recommend it due to the poor condition of the room. In our case, the whole floor was smelling of sewage due to some plumbing problem. The room amenities were also very poor and even the mini-bar frigo was not working.

Rude staff
The hotel is tiny and stuffy. The evening front desk staff that checked us in gave us the wrong key to the room 3 times! The 3 chocolate welcoming candies on our bed, from far away were a bit scary. We requested for the airport shuttle to pick us up in the morning at 7:30am when we checked in. The morning front desk was rude and had no customer service skills. He just had us sit in the corner and waiting for the bus shuttle without any communication on when the shuttle will pick us up, the bus driver had to wait for other passengers and made us late to the airport. The breakfast buffet was sad, food were display in a dark corner with no lights. We had to guessed and picked through the food in the dark. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Historic Hotel is Closing
I learned that this is the first Hilton Hotel built in France nearly 50 years ago. Very historic and classic style. However, when I saw the hallway carpeting was dirty and inquired at the front desk, I was told that the management cut common area maintainence including vacuuming carpets just once a week! Also, the front desk staff are interns because management was cutting costs knowing that the hotel was closing in December. Still a lovely nostalgic hotel and I recommend because Paris Airports tears it down.

decent overnight near Orly
Disappointed in lower overall service since last 2 visits. No in-house restaurant, obliged to try your luck at uninviting local restaurants or go shopping for dinner at Carrefour, which we did. No easy solution if it's Sunday. Breakfast staff laggard, but the helpful receptionist solved our problems. Staff generally pleasant. This promising hotel has lost some luster in the last year. Has a classy touch but missing details, like hooks for towels. Management has not found a better solution than the old French tradition of water on the floor after showering. Not much space on the mod wash basin for bath articles. Yellow epoxy showing at the corner joint of two marble walls.

Close to the airport BUT ....
We needed a place close to Orly as we had a 6:55 flight to catch. The hotel has a shuttle. The service only begins at 5. If you want to leave earlier - order a taxi. The shuttle driver was nowhere to be seen at 4:55 and the person behind the front desk but unhelpful and unsympathetic. He only began making calls at 5:07. Before that - he could not have cared less. The room was airless and I got no sleep. The room was clean but there was something off about the whole thing.

We stayed at this hotel prior to catching a early flight to Spain On arrival we found out not restaurant due to renovations till oct ... and when we went to a nearby restaurant recommended within walking distance that was open found the staff eating there dinner and no service .. sadly we found this attitude a lot in Paris. The room was clean and functional the bad point Uber small pillows making for bad sleep when you need it most ..

excellent overnight choice
called the hotel from the airport to ask about the free shuttle. Lady guaranteed shuttle in 15 Minutes and so it was. friendly efficient check-in. 5 minutes ride from the airport. Room and bathroom was spotless clean and comfortable. A bit small but sufficient for a day or two. Breakfast was very nice with enough selections of food for any taste. I was asked twice by different ladies during breakfast if i needed anything, which was a nice touch, As indicated by other people, Hotel is in not in a central "lively" location,, however, it was incorrect that there are no places to eat at night in the area. There is a restaurant recommended by the hotel about 100 meters to the left (as you come out the front door) , and i walked around turning right from the hotel so within 5 minutes walk there is a road intersection and few restaurant choices . 2 large fast foods, open till 11 P.M (according to the signs on their windows) one fancy looking Japanese restaurant with 11:30 to14:30 and 18:30 to 22;30 operating hours.. I guess they close mid day to take a nap and dream up new sushi dishes,,,. Also, in front of the hotel there is a shopping mall with a huge supermarket where one can buy food and take back to the hotel, The lady at the hotel reception said its no problem to eat in the lobby area if one wishes.its nice with couches and tables.

Fine hotel. Not ideal for seeing Paris.
This hotel is fine. It's in a very remote area by the airport so if you're looking to hang out at night you have little to no options. Room service is also closed so when we arrived at 11 pm we were left with zero food options in the hotel or within a close distance.

We waited 40 minutes after calling for the shuttle ride. The hotel site pictures make it appear a LOT nicer than it is. But it is clean and close to the airport and has a shuttle so for our needs, it was fine. I feel I overpaid for it, however.

Terrible hotel
Behind the pretentious name and supposedly 4 stars hide a sad airport hotel. 1st room I was given had a strong cigarette smell ( despite the hotel being non smoking) When I complained, the 2nd room I was given hadn't been cleaned. The 3rd one located on the ground floor behind the front desk initially looked ok but in the end turned out to be incredibly noisy with rude and loud hotel guests coming in and out of the hotel way after midnight. Plus the room was adjacent to a plant room and all kinds of noises were coming through the walls. Only good thing is proximity to orly and shuttle.

everything scarce
Only 2 bath towels. No tissue in bathroom, bottle of soap almost empty, fridge not working and staff not able to replace it. That day in Paris it was 35 C anf fresh water in the room is no luxury. waited an hour for hotel shuttle in scorching heat, between 5 and 6 pm when it is supposed to arrive every 15 min according to the airport info desk. Breakfast was supposed to start at 5am, day of departure we had to wait 15 min to have ours, we had to hurry so we won't miss the 5:30 shuttle to the airport!! Disappointing.

Carry Proof of Reservation
I arrived late at night (and with an early flight pending the next morning) and the clerk at the desk said he was holding no reservation for me. I produced a paper copy of my booking and he said he would investigate it. This process took about fifteen minutes. The hotel was fully booked (as I gathered from a phone conversation I overheard) and I have the feeling that I would not have been given a room if I had not produced this documentation. Advice: always carry proof of your reservation and payment, especially if you will be staying at a popular hotel and arriving late.
