Re-confirming all of the info below is still valid as at Oct 13 2010. Checked in at 6:30am and out at 11:30am no problem. EUR12/hour min 2 hours. Rooms are basic but clean and perfect for a quick nap and shower. Took about 20 mins to get from T-2F to the front desk in an empty airport.

You can rent a room for 12 euro/hour with a minimum of 2 hours from 6 am to 10 pm. The sign said that the prices are good for all of 2010.

There was combo body wash/shampoo and hand soap in bottles attached to the walls in the bathroom, as well as a hair dryer that looked like an attachment for a vacuum cleaner. <snip>

They have vending machines in the lobby with toothbrushes and toothpaste and such, for 1-3 euro, in case you forgot something.

Getting there (not new info) From terminal 2E I followed the exit/sortie signs, went through passport control, and kept following the exit signs until I found the CDGVAL signs. I got off the CDGVAL trainy deal at Terminal 3, and then followed the signs to the Ibis. You can see it from the train stop. It was a bit of a hike from Terminal 2E arrivals to the CDGVAL, but so worth the shower and the nap. I left my room at 2:15 and had plenty of time to check out and get to my 3:30 boarding call at Terminal 2F, even fighting with security about the size of my carry on, eventually having to check it. That's just to give you an idea of the time frame. <snip>
