I will be arriving into Paris(CDG) in July and staying at the Best Western Paris Airport Hotel at 1 Allee du Verger. There is a free shuttle that drops you off at the hotel. I am told that it is very difficult to find the pick up location at the airport for this shuttle. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the location and how to get there or would it be easier to take a taxis?

Are you sure it is free? Their website says "nominal fee". If you bid a 4* on Priceine.com name your own price, you may get one of the hotels next to the airport for a much lower price.

The shuttle is probably 5E or so.

You can see how inexpensively people are getting wins at cdg at www.betterbidding.com.

Also, take a look at www.hotwire.com .

I have taken shuttles FROM Alle du Verger but not to it. I think your best bet is to contact the hotel for instructions.

I have also taken a cab from the same street to T3 because the shuttles had not yet started running. IIRC it cost 20 euros which
was not cheap considering the distance.

Go to the RER station at CDG Airport (Terminal 2C). Take the lift to level 5. This is the pick-up location for the free shuttle bus to airport hotels in Roissy. The hotels are listed on a schedule display and also listed on the front of the bus. You will probably want to confirm your destination with the driver. We just stayed at the Marriott and used the free shuttle. Shuttles arrive and depart every 20 minutes.

Here is a link where you may select your terminal and your hotel and directions will be provided for shuttle pick-up:

If this does not work, go to the Marriott CDG website and click on maps and transportation. A link to the website provided above is available.

It is easy to find and it is FREE!

Level 5 of terminal 2 is the most likely location to pickup this hotel´s shuttle but their website states that the shuttle cost is 5€ (and that´s most likely per person, each way).

I'm curious as to who's right. The website or the recent users! Maybe ALL hotels aren't free?

Christina

there was only one recent user and that was for Marriott, not BW, so I would assume their own website is actually correct. That is kind of odd, isn't it, a hotel charging for its own shuttle.

It's not their shuttle in some cases. I believe it is a bus, like the Hopper at Heathrow, that makes the rounds at the hotel district.

I DO know that some hotels do have their own free shuttles. I stayed at a cheap hotel , maybe it was a comfort Inn or something once at CDG, and the shuttle was free.

The Marriott used to use the pay shuttle I know because people used to complain about it online). I think now they have their own.

I took the free shuttle from CDG to the Marriott CDG on Monday, April 9, 2012 and the free shuttle back to the airport on Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - less than a week ago. The shuttle is free; it stops at the major hotels in Roissey including the Best Western. Even though we stayed at the Marriott, the free shuttle stopped at many hotels even the Best Western.

As stated above, the free shuttle departs from the RER Station at level 5. You may also board the free shuttle at Roissey-Pole.

The shuttle bus is marked, it makes stops at a number of hotels, it departs every 20 minutes, and it is free. There is no system for purchasing a ticket because tickets are not sold.

Great news, dorothy01. BW's website needs updating!
