Novotel Paris CDG Terminal

This is a great airport-​hotel if you’re flying out of CDG. Very comfortable beds and a designer tiled bathroom were highlights for me. The restaurant is pretty good, expect continental fare and some nice French specialties. There is also a café/​bar if you just want to grab a drink and an appetizer.
It basically connected to the terminals and located right off the tram that takes you between them. It was a short 10 minute walk/​tram ride to terminal 2.

5 star for location
4 star for hotel reception
3 star for house keeping (housekeeping is lazy)

L’hôtel est super
Bien placé très calme bonnes prestations
Le restaurant est très inégal selon les plats

This hotel is not worthy to be rated as a 4 stars hotel. It’s a 2 stars hotel in my opinion. The rooms are extremely small with dim lights. Stepping into my room, I saw hair on the bed already. I shrugged it off. Then my husband and I went to the restaurant downstairs for dinner. In short, the food was horrible. Any 5 years old child can cook better food. Then we waited 40 mins to get our check. 40 mins??? How in the world can service be this bad!!! Never in my life had I encounter service this bad and I eat out at restaurants on weekly basis. Oh yeah, they charged $ 3 for hot water. Something to think about. The running water in the room is also bad. It fluctuates between extremely cold and scalding hot water. Another thing to consider. To sum it up, I would never stay at this hotel ever again. Pay a little more and stay at the Sheraton that’s actually inside the airport. This hotel isn’t as convenient because you still need to take a bus and then walk a little to get to the hotel from the terminals. The Sheraton is actually inside the terminal.

Camped out here in CDG in-​between a long layover, late arrival and early departure. Efficient front desk service. Decently maintained and decently priced. The bar was open and had available bar food menu that satisfied international palates, good, ample breakfast buffet. We got some food, got some sleep and and were able to get some rest prior to a long transatlantic flight. Well done Novotel.

Stayed at this hotel before flying back home. Not impressed, our sheets were extremely old and scratchy and we had a dirty room with stains on the carpets. Our pillows were terrible and the bed was hard as a rock and clearly a cheap mattress. The food at the restaurant was not bad, but not always open. I think it was cheap so that’s why I gave it two stars, but I would not do this again.

«Nous sommes amis»
I liked this hotel. If ½ stars were available, this’d be a 3.5.
A good value.
Hugely convenient — directly attached to the CDG airport train shuttle «at Terminal 3» is oft mentioned — 2 stops from Terminal 2.
The train runs every 3 minutes. One can walk out of the lobby and be in Terminal 2 in 9 minutes. Really.
This place served its purpose.
I had a 16 hour layover at CDG, hoped to meet up with friends and do some sightseeing in Paris, come back up to the airport, crash, then head out.
A big snafu with my airline consumed 3 hours, wore on my nerves, and ultimately — with the temps dropping, rain drizzling, night descending and winds picked up — enthusiasm waned and planned jaunt was aborted.
((Be aware: the last trains to CDG run at midnight; u miss it and u’r SOL. *and* it takes an hour))
All thoughts turned to hibernation. I just wanted someplace nearby.
I didn’t realize how close!
I got a great last-​minute deal on Hotwire.
No signage told me which specific hotel shuttle to take, so I just clambered onto a bus that had «Novotel» — and come to find out there are FOUR Novotels in the area; mine of course was the last — back at the airport.
Sandrine at the front desk was delightful and very helpful. The walk/​ride to the 4^th floor room was uneventful, no offputting odors, clean hallways without windows but well-​lit.
I checked into the room — but 5 mins later, another key card swiped outside!
Apparently a glitch in the system didn’t see that the room was already assigned (Yikes!) but the couple was very apologetic and nice and promptly headed back to Reception to fix it.
The room was clean and quite spacious. Was happy to have a fridge in the room, no microwave. Good sized clean bathroom with a large shower.
The bed was big and comfortable, the wake up call prompt and loud.
And I could watch the news on the big tv — in English.
As I headed downstairs, I met the same nearly-​roomie couple, and they were so sweet and a bit chagrined, but it wasn’t their fault. As we exited the lift together, Sandrine was surprised to see us altogether, but we were fine. I reassured her «No problem; nous sommes amis»! =)
Even the café downstairs was really good. They’re open till 2300.
My biggest problem with French cuisine has always been the negative space on the plate. Not so here. And the food was delicious. See photos.
I ended up actually enjoying my truncated layover at CDG, which is huge for me, someone who has aggressively avoided this airport for the past decade and this hotel was a large reason for the change in perception.
This is no immersion in French culture but it really fit the bill.
Energy and enthusiasm restored, I was ready for the next 10+ hour leg. And the proximity and ease of transit to my terminal was most appreciated.

Bön, clairement quand on habite Paris, j’ai un peu du mal à comprendre le concept de prendre un hôtel la veille de son départ…mais belle-​maman a insisté.
Et finalement:
— une literie excellente
— des petits trucs qui font le plus: thé, café, bouilloire, bain, gel douche (que tu voles, fais pas genre)
— un resto pas trop mauvais (si ce n’est qu’ils étaient à cours de pas mal de plats.)
Un peu bruyant, mais cela tient plus de l’éducation des gens que de l’hôtel en lui-​même.
Et bon, faut pas le dire à ma belle-​mère, mais c’est plutôt cool de né pas être loin du terminal

Bien mais cher
A l’image des hôtels du groupe Accor, cet hôtel offre le confort auquel on s’attend. Idéalement placé pour un séminaire, il offre une table correcte.
