Paris Airport Hotels - Orly

It was great from the start!! Highly recommend if you like small quaint boutique hotels. We told them we had our 3 year old coming with us in advance and upon arrival they were so sweet and even had a cot set up in our room in advance, just in case we needed it for our child. I really appreciated it. Their English is okay but didn't matter they were welcoming and clean and uber cool room!!

I booked this hotel because of price and location. It is very easy to get here to/from CDG Airport. This hotel is located 3 min walk away from RER B rail station - Chatelet Les Halles. This hotel is a very very basic 1-star hotel. (It says so in the room description on the entry door). The hotel is located on a street full of restaurants, so it can be a little noisy in the evenings. Free Wi-Fi works very well, but only in the main lobby and bar area. I wish the rooms were remodeled, showers were larger and there was carpet on the floor. But given hotel price and location it makes a very good choice. Not recommended for people who are picky about hotel comfort, prestige and amenities. Recommended for students or just any folks on a tight budget.

Having little experience travelling in Europe in the last 20 years, I found a wide variety of places to stay available for my trip. The reviews of Hotel Crayon were very helpful and I thought I would give it a try. The hotel is a little ways off the beaten path and I am glad we took a cab there from the train station but quickly found my way around the area and had no trouble accessing the metro system from there. The hotel is situated on a small side street that is quiet except for some construction in the area that wasn't a problem since we stayed over the weekend. The lobby was tiny by US standards but the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They handled every request instantly. The rest of the hotel was also very small, as are many in Europe, but very clean and well kept. My daughter and I barely fit in the elevator together and the hall and room were equally small but completely functional and very clean. I would have no problem giving my full recommendation to friends heading to Paris.

This hotel is in a great location, close the Louvre.

Stayed at L'Empire for 1 week in July 2104. Found rooms were relatively large and in very good condition. The hotel location is very central with good access to transport. Hotel service was exceptional, with staff eager to help with suggestions on things to do and see. Breakfast was included within my room package and was superb. Room came equipped with a coffee machine which was far superior to the instant coffee found in most other hotels.

The hotel staff spoke great english and gave good directions. This Hotel is very good and clean and the location is great! Within walking distance of most things you would ever want to see.

This was our first stay in Paris and would definately recommend this hotel. The location was first class being right in the centre within easy walking distance of the old city, Notre Dame and the Louvre. The hotel staff were really friendly and efficient, nice breakfast. The room was spotlessly clean, incredibly quiet for a city centre, and with a comfortable bed. If you want a large, impersonal hotel with lots of facilities, then this is probably not the place for you, but we loved it!

The room was very tiny and up three flights of stairs. The free WiFi only worked from the first floor. The bathroom was full of shoddy carpentry. The beds did not have fitted sheets or pillowcases, and the walls were paper thin.

The hospitality of the staff was very nice and room was very unique and functional. Very well located. We were very well served at the bar with unique cocktails and excellent breakfast.
