    It has a Mcdonalds near by and lots of resteraunts. CDG is about 20 minutes away.

    A fmaily room costs about £50. Children get a free gift and eat in the hotel for free.

    The buffet breakfast was very good at about 8 Euros.

    Would Highly recommend

    I'd recommend doing a search on venere.com - really helpful website with lots of good maps/reviews, and reasonable prices too (which you also don't have to pay in advance!)
    Plus for 4% off, use code: BK5HX8W

    Hope that helps

    I would think your best bet would be the IBIS which is a national chain of the Accor Group. Very reasonably priced and in the centre of the airport located between T1 and T3. Also within 1 minute walk of the airport train station.

    Formule 1 are cheap but VERY basic. Rooms generally consist of one double bed or two singles and one single bunk bed above, a wash basin and TV. Showers, toilets are shared. they are part of the Accor group and there are literally hundreds of these places accross France. Clientelle usually consists of students, white van man (french style), builders, plumbers etc
    For ever so slightly more, but with your own shower/toilet cubicle try :-

    thanks exel1966 i would rather pay the extra as its only a small amount but definately worth it not to share a toilet, yuk.

    Be very careful about where and what hotel you book
    We (the family) went to Paris in Apr this year
    We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express (Garnor)
    It was about 10 minutes from CDG

    Now here is where you should be VERY, VERY careful
    We arrived about 10.30 - 10.45pm
    No taxis would take us to our hotel, they want the BIGGER fares to Central Paris ETC

    Anyhow after 2 trips to the customer services desk
    The Police eventually came and ordered the next taxi
    To take us to our hotel, as by law they are not allowed to refuse you
    But being in a foreign country you are not aware of this
    The taxi driver was not a happy cabbie
    He mumbled all the way saying it was complicated
    We just knew that we where about to be ripped off

    Without boring you with all the in & outs of our journey
    We did get ripped off

    Allot depends on what time you arrive and where you are heading onwards
    Let me know and I will help you out as much as I can

    Cheers

    Why do you specifically need to stay by CDG? Is it as it's an overnight stop over between connections? If you are actually visiting Paris, don't do it... It's miles out of the city...
