Booked this place for a 1 night layover before my flight the next morning.  This is the only Hilton property close to the airport.  This is my 3rd or 4th time staying at this property - mainly because it's part of the Hilton chain and there's none other in the area.

Location

The property is located about 5 mins walk from the Roissypole station - which is where the RER to Paris and the CDGVal train connects you to the different Terminal at CDG.  From my last stay, I noticed that there's quite a few new hotels in the area.  

The main bus staion for CDG is also located in this area.  Besides this, there's not much of things to the do in the area and for food, the only other option is to get it at the small kiosks found in Roissypole.

Check In

For this stay, I used the app to select my room and online check-in.  I was able to secure a room facing the airport (which was a good view - including the view towards the AF concorde on display).  I also requested for the digital key, and as expected, for whatever reason (I was told at check-in this was for additional hold on the credit card).

I arrived rather late, towards 11pm, however there was still a longish line to get checked in by 2 staff on duty.  There was a HHonors desk, but as usual, these never work fine because it was so vaguely done, waited for about 15-20 mins before it was my turn.  Greeted by a non-interested/overworkd staff without any recognition.  Was only informed that the Executive Lounge (located on the ground floor) still closed.  Luckily my check-in was faster, and I was away within a few mins of arriving at the desk. 

Room

The room was located on the 8th floor.  The hotel is separated into 2 wings, and this was on the left side after stepping out from the lift. 

Room size was sufficient for this 1 night stay although as my last review, I found the room simple with minimal interior decoration.  Only improvement from my last stay (a few years ago) it seems like the rooms have had some minor refurbishiment, so it did feel slightly refreshed. 

Outside of that, it was the usual Hilton interior with a working desk and a small seating area close to the wardrobe (instead of the usual next to the window).  There was also the usual tea/coffee making facilities provided.  The minibar was empty.

Sleep quality was good with very good sound proofing from the windows and no interior noise disturbance.  The climate control was good with not too much noise at low speed.  

Internet speed was ok and TV channels were the usual mix of local and international options.  (actually more local options).

View from the room

Bathroom size was ok - with a separate walk-in shower and bathtub.  It looks like not much was done for the bathroom, as it seem to be exactly the same as my previous stay.  The shower area was on the smaller side.  Water pressure was good, and temperature was also sufficient. 

Breakfast

Breakfast was served at the main restaurant, and sadly as per my previous experience, the breakfast quality was really poor.  Very limited items and the quality of the hot dishes were poor.  What was really strange was that, this is the first Hilton in Europe where cook to order eggs is only with additional payments.

Service staff on duty was basiclally not interested (like the last time).  Therefore my only conclusion here is that, the hotel does not really care about this - as I have provided this same feedback the last time and that was years ago, so it's clear management has no interest to improve the offerings/service. 

One interesting event was, there was what seem like a (grand)mother/daughter pair (which coincidentally rode in the same lift with me down to breakfast) - were clearly not embarassed or felt it was OK to fill up their plates with the hot items and shockingly, packed them into containers to bring with them.  It was not small portions, but filling in (previously used icecream containers) with eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc.  The (grand)mother even took loads of butter, cheese spread, etc packages and even the fresh fruits (like orange and grapefruit slices) went into plastic bags.  I had wanted to report this, but in the end, since the quality was already so bad, I just left it as most probably the food will go waste in the end.  What I question is how did they manage to stay at the hotel (since rates were not really that cheap and with the room price, they could have gotten much better quality product).  

Overall

All in all, an OK property if you are Hilton hotels loyal and the price is right.  For those who would be using this as the base to go into Paris, it does look doable if the travel time and cost is still worth the prices being charged for hotels in Paris itself.

Will still return only if the price is ok, i would not say it's a highly recommended property but doable.
