Pullman Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Check In Chech in was swift and apart from having to request for our upgrade, everything else provided (including 3 welcome drink vouchers). Travelling with wife and daughter.We took the shuttle from T1, signages were good and we found ourselves at the entrance of the Pullman. The driveway is shared with the ibis Styles next door which shares the same building design and same carpark. About 100m away is the older ibis hotel.The property is two stops away from T1 via the shuttle train that goes between the various carparks and terminals. It's also 2 stops away to T2 and a 10min walk to T3. The RER station is 2min walk from the hotel (same station where you also take the train the to T1 and T2).We arrived in the evening from Stockholm via a 8hr transit in Copenhagen (where we did some sight-seeing). So we were pretty much kaputt. This was the end of a 2 week work vacation so I was looking forward to a good final stay in a hotel (they were all good so far) prior to our flight back the next day (OR SO WE THOUGHT - so you will have two reviews of this hotel. As due to a mess up between AF and VN, we were able to stay in this hotel a second night). Room Daughter said the Sofa Bed was very comfy. +1 It is in fact two seperate rooms with the sofa, table, toilet and mini bar seperate from the main bedroom with a bathroom ensuite.463 sq. ft. (43 m2) with free services: early check-in or late check-out, parking, breakfast included, WIFI, VOD, minibar with 7 free soft drinks, tea and free espresso coffee. Equipment: 55" TV, Bose docking station, rain shower and bathtub.SUPERIOR SUITE, 1 KING-SIZE BED (79" [200 CM]), 1 CONVERTIBLE SOFA BEDThis is the room we were upgraded to:So as you can see, the rooms are pretty much the same - probably some higher/lower room allocations or building/runway views etc. BUT you do have the choice of early/late check in/out with the Deluxe Room for example - even without Gold benefit.280 sq. ft. (26 m2) with free services: early check-in or late check-out, breakfast included, WIFI, VOD, minibar with 7 free soft drinks, tea and free espresso coffee. Equipment: 48" TV, Bose docking station, rain shower.Deluxe Room:280 sq. ft. (26 m2) with free services: WIFI, VOD, minibar with 5 free soft drinks, tea, free espresso coffee, extra bed for children up to 12 years old or baby bed upon request. Equipment: 48" TV, Bose docking station, rain shower.Superior Room:280 sq. ft. (26 m2) with free services: WIFI, VOD, mini fridge with 2 bottles of water, tea and coffee, extra bed for children up to 12 years old or crib upon request. Equipment: 48" TV, Bose docking station, rain shower.Classic Room:I think it's importnat here to take note of what is STANDARD for this hotel in the room catagories (irregardles of LCAH status):I had booked the Deluxe room and we were upgraded to the Superior Suite. All rooms (apart from the basic Classic Room come with free mini bar which includes soft drinks/juice). In the Classic Room you only get 2 bottles of water. Service One annoying thing in all rooms is that they do not have dedicated light switches for different lights. Swithing off the one switch in one room meant that all lights in that room switched off. Somewhat annoying as my daughter still sleeps with a bit of light. The toilet light is the only odd one out so that could be left on, however not without putting a shoe between the gap as the doors are all equipped with swing arms.The room was very well insulated and you could hear nothing from the outside nor from the hotel corridor. Something different for a change!The sofa bed was already made when we entered the room, which was odd as we had to request for an upgrade - so certainly the room wasnt assigned to us. Anyway, some time later Housekeeping came by and handed us the welcome gifts: Dining The evening we arrived we opted for room service. It came quickly and even though we ordered something simple, it was quite ok.They had a cooking station for Eggs, and lots of other choices. The breakfast room was always busy, but without people stepping on each others' toes. Breakfast was a great spread with Flavoured Evian water (Rose etc) in teardrop shaped bottled which I had never seen before. Unlike other European properties which have the commercial Nespressor machines, this property has a semi-commercial Ille mahcine which is extremely slow in dispensing. They should replace this machine IMO. Location We took the shuttle from T1, signages were good and we found ourselves at the entrance of the Pullman. The driveway is shared with the ibis Styles next door which shares the same building design and same carpark. About 100m away is the older ibis hotel.The property is two stops away from T1 via the shuttle train that goes between the various carparks and terminals. It's also 2 stops away to T2 and a 10min walk to T3. The RER station is 2min walk from the hotel (same station where you also take the train the to T1 and T2).I'll repeat here what I wrote above: Overall We were helped in the morning upon check-out by the front office staff who were at all times friendly and accomodating.I really wonderful stay. Can't complain.
