Ibis Paris Roissey Charles de Gaulle Paris

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: High demand

...Everyone has heard of Ibis hotels, but not many people are aware that they serve other countries worldwide, such as France. Ibis Paris Roissey Charles de Gaulle Paris is a modern 4-storey building which was built with tourists in mind in the 1980s. This hotel is perfect for any occasion, whether you're staying the night before/after your flight, or looking for somewhere to stop-over to visit Paris city centre! Situated 2.5km from the CDG airport, this 304 room hotel is perfect for families on a budget. The prices are standard for Ibis htoels, with a room costing between 66-84 Euros (£45-56) during the week - depending on the time of year and 66 Euros (£45) at weekends. Although this may seem quite a lot for an airport hotel, its a lot less than other hotels in the are are charging, and you have to bear in mind the demand...

Review of Ibis Paris Charles de Gaulle Paris Nord 2, Roissy-en-France

Bienvenue a Charles de Hell!!!!

Advantages: Great transport links
Disadvantages: Poor facilities in terminals

...I have been considering writing a review of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) for some time but have refrained; worried that it may be biased by factors outside of the airports hands. However, having had an 'unforgettable' trip through the airport on a day trip a couple of weeks ago, I felt it was time to put down my opinions! CDG is one of a group of airports around the capital city of France, along with Orly, Le Bourget and Beavaus, but is the most likely point of origin for travellers from the UK. It was opened in 1972 as Le Bourget could not cope with the demands of modern aviation and has quickly become one of the busiest and most diverse airports in the world. I first visited the airport a couple of years ago when my girlfriend and I decided to visit the city for a few days holiday. We were flying from London Heathrow...

Review of Paris - Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

Charles de Tester of le Patience!

Advantages: External Architecture, Central Location
Disadvantages: Crowded, Complicated, Aged, Unfriendly Staff

...An interesting point to note is that Charles De Gaulle was quite well known for his dislike of the English!:) Anyway, jokes aside, I flew to this airport last summer for a short holiday at Disneyland Paris (I have placed a flight review under 'BMI Baby') and, like at most airports, the experience was not pleasant! CHECK-IN For the return leg of the journey was somewhat confusing. The check-in hall is vast and, like most of the airport, seems to work in a sort of circle. The main problem was that there was not sufficient space to queue. Whichever way the queue wen away fromt he desk it seemed to stick out into a busy area, with frustrated travellers desperately trying to navigate the airport with huge trolleys of cases. In additiion to the queuing problem there was a general lack of seating in this area. The result was...

Review of Radisson SAS Hotel Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris

The Charles Bridge

Advantages: Free entrance, beutifully built, historic attraction
Disadvantages: Can get very busy

...Charles Bridge is probably one of Pragues most recognised landmarks. For many years, Charles Bridge was the only way to cross the River Vltava that flows through the middle of the City. Nowadays there are many bridges connecting Old Town Prague and the New Town but there is still something very special about the Charles Bridge that makes it stand out from all the others. Charles Bridge is an old stone gothic bridge which is lined with numerous statues of saints. The bridge was built from sandstone blocks and was commissioned by Charles IV, after whom the bridge was named, in 1357. Today, the Charles Bridge can only be crossed on foot, but with it being a very popular attraction in Prague, it is literally crammed with crowds of people all day long. There is no fee for crossing the bridge but tourists are invited to walk up the tower...

Review of Paris - Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

Magical Mystery Tour

Advantages: Not too bad when departing
Disadvantages: Huge place with no signs and no staff to help

...Charles De Gaulle International Airport, Paris, France When we decided to go to Disneyland Paris earlier this year, we didn't have much option other than to fly. We live in Scotland so to go by ferry, car or eurotunnel would with 3 young children be an absolute nightmare, not to mention expensive. We had originally considered flying into Beauvais with Ryanair, but we decided we'd rather fly from Edinburgh which is closer to us and fly to Charles de Gaulle which is closer to Disneyland. I had been warned that Charles de Gaulle could be a bit of a nightmare and had done a bit of researching on the internet before we went. I had been given instructions that when we got into the airport, to go through passport checks, collect our luggage and go through customs, follow the moving walkways and we would come out right where we needed to...

Review of Paris - Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

More Prince Charles than King Charles...

Advantages: Grand, atmospheric bedrooms and posh bathrooms
Disadvantages: Disappointing breakfast, lack of facilities, distance from town centre.

...I'd wanted to go to Prague for YEARS and finally got my wish in December 2008 when my boyfriend and I went over for three nights to get into the Christmas spirit with mulled wine and gingerbread. I'd thoroughly recommend the city for a short break, but this review is about our hotel. We booked through lastminute.com, and it came down to a choice between the King Charles and a very modern plate-glass-and-red-Perspex type edifice that was only built in 2007. We decided to go with the King Charles as I thought it looked a little bit grand and Gothic and atmospheric and was more in-keeping with the 'feel' of Prague. I'm not one for all mod-cons. It was listed a four-star hotel but it was on offer so we paid only about £25 each per night. When we received our confirmation email, the hotel reception also offered to come and collect us...

Review of King Charles Boutique Hotel Residence, Prague

An airport or an IQ test

Advantages: Planes can land there. Planes can leave again.
Disadvantages: Total chaos trying to navigate the airport. The moving walkways are a real danger to your health. Lack of information. Not enough multi-language speakers working there. The place is in need of some real modernising. The check-in desks need some real

...Having never been in Charles de Gaulle airport before & expecting it to be like most other airports, my family & I looked forward to our new experience. We flew from Belfast International Airport ? Aldergrove, to London Heathrow & then transferred to our flight to Charles de Gaulle. Our flights with British Midlands International were all on time & rather uneventful, which was nice & we arrived at Charles de Gaulle on time. Things were looking good & we were looking forward to getting a taxi to our hotel. (I had visited the CDG Airport website to familiarise myself with the layout, which would speed up our journey to the hotel once we located our luggage. The website was great & I was pretty confident that I could navigate the airport easily! .. Once there, things can quickly change!) Once the BMI flight landed & we...
