Popular Paray-Vieille-Poste 4-star Hotels

Novotel Orly I have been lax in writing reviews lately, and never imagined writing one for an airport hotel, but this place is definitely worth the effort. I had an early morning flight out of Orly and decided to stay at the airport rather than schlep in from Paris on a Monday morning. My check-in was quick and easy and they allowed me early access to my room, which are well designed, modern, clean and comfortable, including the bathroom. Public spaces are very warm and informal (not the usual cold reception desk in a sterile lobby) with well thought out colours and textures in a variety of seating areas and a bar that served snacks also. Also a place for kids to play video games and board games. Even a small library of interesting books. Now the real surprise was the restaurant. The baked filet of sea bass dish I had was worthy of a 5-star restaurant in terms of taste and presentation. The bread was warm, the butter soft, a sommelier brought out the wine and the creme brûlée among the finest. The dining room was warm and intimate, and I had a lovely waitress attend to me. There was a buffet breakfast offered and take away food ready at 5am. Once at Orly you are somewhat isolated as you cannot get access to the terminals without a boarding pass. There is a Franprix close to the hotel that will open soon apparently as well as proposed business park in the Couer d’Orly area of the airport. The Novotel is a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon/evening with a very pleasant and accommodating staff. Not one complaint whatsoever.

• When you spend more than $200 and their so-called shuttle is not available. Two hours at airport waiting at what you hope is the correct stop. • Calling 16x times only to have the same voice mail saying they can’t answer the phone-this is not a B&B room, this is part of a major chain that I have used for over 30 years….what’s going on? • Get to the hotel 10 min after their last orders for ‘convenience food’ to be told by reception to go beg to the restaurant to see if they can do something for you…..of course they cant. Don’t worry sir, use Uber Eats!. Surely at $200/night they should be arranging that? * BTW-if you ahvengt got the right card-after midnight its cash only at the bar, while you dine on peanuts • Anyhow-read the small print carefully and be prepared to have a developing world experience at Orly airport between Accor Hotels lack of service and no clear directions to the hotel. They say you can get a tram…..but of course that’s never clear and either you need a compass or luck…..certainly for over $200 they will make you walk, their navettes are invisible and their front desk couldn’t give two hoots!!!

We have spent a great night in this hotel. It is really close to the airport, and a shuttle can take it. We loved the style of the hotel, the very restful atmosphere, which allows to resource. The rooms are very classy too, the bed is very very (very !!) comfortable, we haven't seen spend the night. The presence of a bathroom is very pleasant. The breakfast is exquisite, varied, very good, and made with fresh products (and it feels like it). The chef is excellent, and the map is varied. The staff are in small care, and anticipate the needs before even we have thought about it ourselves! The hotel is a very good hotel, and it is a good hotel for you to stay in the hotel.

I booked this hotel because we had a flight early in the morning and I wanted to be close to the airport. The room is basic but has a very nice unique modern interior design. There is no minibar but there is a coffee, tea and juice machine for guests near the lobby. Breakfast is served from 5 am which is great for early flights and it had a good selection (freshly squeezed orange juice always makes me happy).
