The Atrium Hotel & Conference Centre Paris CDG Airport, by Penta

“Perfect for an overnight stay!”

This used to be an Hyatt and we were confused when we looked for the Hyatt as we didn't know the hotel changed name, even our taxi driver was confused and my hotel reservation was for a Hyatt.

This used to be an Hyatt and we were confused when we looked for the Hyatt as we didn't know the hotel changed name, even our taxi driver was confused and my hotel reservation was for a Hyatt. We stayed there for one night as we had to catch a connecting flight the next day. Atrium is very nice, the staff was great...Rooms were spacious and clean, beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the breakfast at the restaurant the next morning. Overall we were very satisfied with this hotel and might come back if we have another connecting flight in CDG. We really enjoyed the shuttle to the airport the next morning, very convenient!

“Beautifully Designed Hotel Premises”

Atrium Hotel is pretty near to CDG Airport and is out of the city so one can enjoy the greenery of France along with some chilly changing weather.

Atrium Hotel is pretty near to CDG Airport and is out of the city so one can enjoy the greenery of France along with some chilly changing weather. We had been in a group of 120+ members staying at this Hotel had been a nice option for us. Though it comes out little in terms of Indian taste, we enjoyed staying at this place because its surrounded by extreme greenery and huge parking space. When we woke up in the morning after our tiring nights, weather helps us feel chilled and relax during the morning. Rooms are sound proof. Frequent aircrafts land and flew off this property but we hardly heard any sound disturbing us along with the highway of Roissy de France crossing alongside. Staff of the Hotel had been very friendly. Greet them and they will share a killing smile to you. All the rooms are duly equipped with bath tubs. Cleanliness at the entire premises is awesome. While travelling kindly carry your own sets of bathroom sleepers since they don't provide you with any accessories except the toiletries which includes limited to shampoo, body wash, body lotion and hand wash. Inside the room, they will provide you with disposable glass so in case if you are a frequent consumer for coffee or any kind of drink, please request for additional disposables well in advance. Food at the Hotel is ok ok since we didn't liked the food being an Indian. Rest everything had been at premium. Hotel premises can be terms as 3 or 4 star but 5 definitely not.

“Ageing but still a viable option”

This review is a bit delayed but I have to make a special mention of Fatima at the front desk (I hope I got the name right). She has been with the hotel for a long time and is an asset to the hotel.

This review is a bit delayed but I have to make a special mention of Fatima at the front desk (I hope I got the name right). She has been with the hotel for a long time and is an asset to the hotel. She was very patient in explaining everything and was eager to assist. In one instance I didn’t realize she was having lunch and she immediately walked over to the desk to answer my question. I asked her to finish her lunch but she insisted on resolving my query before she went back to her meal. I was really impressed with her hospitality. Pros The hotel lobby has a very relaxed atmosphere. I reached the hotel early (before check-in time) and without any hesitation I was given a room. That was very welcoming considering I had travelled over 14 hours and was tired. The atrium is nice for a meal and drinks. All the staff I encountered were very good and responsive even in the restaurants/bar. Breakfast spread was huge and very good. A 20-minute walk gets you into the village for more dining options if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. A mall is close by though I did not visit it. There are several other options within a 1 Km radius (closer to the village and restaurants) as well but an in-house shuttle is this hotel's redeeming feature when you have to catch a flight in the morning. Many of these other hotel use a shared shuttle/public transportation and I have experienced huge delays in the past which is very inconvenient. At CDG, a in-house shuttle is important in my opinion which is why I chose this hotel in the first place. Cons As has been stated elsewhere, the hotel is in need of refurbishing. While it was not dirty, there were stains on the carpet and the furniture is ageing. AC was not great but that is the case in Europe in general. The exterior, while built grand, feels like it needs sprucing. For those who have travelled to China, you get the impression of a massive hotel in a small city which looks grand but also looks a little worn. Pick up took over 45 minutes from the airport and I had to make 2 calls to the hotel. Again, standard problem in Europe so nothing different here. As with other hotels, there is no shuttle service in the afternoon which means you have to take a taxi in case you arrive in the afternoon. This is not convenient. I have attached some pictures. It is not as bad as it looks but the hotel is definitely ageing and will not give a feeling of luxury though that how it has been built. Having said all this, I would come back to this hotel because the lobby is spacious and gives a relaxing vibe but they would need to price it right considering the shortcomings mentioned above.

“Tired, but good potential”

Stayed at the Atrium on business for a couple of nights. It’s quite a nice hotel and well situated for the airport. However, it’s a fairly old, though impressive, building and it is showing its age.

Stayed at the Atrium on business for a couple of nights. It’s quite a nice hotel and well situated for the airport. However, it’s a fairly old, though impressive, building and it is showing its age. The foyer is quite a good introduction to the hotel. It’s a lofty, airy structure, and actually a pleasant space to be in. There is a bar, which is welcoming, and a seating area. Sadly, a lot of the chairs have split upholstery, which is an indication of what is wrong with the rest of the hotel. The rooms are tired. They need a major makeover. The air conditioning is a prime example of what’s wrong. It just blows air, but it’s not chilled. The bathroom is dated and not up to current standards. There isn’t even a shelf for toiletries in the shower. It’s not all bad news. The corridors have been recarpted recently and are quite inviting. But the lifts are old and worn and give a weary impression. The dining area is nice. Breakfast was more than OK. The hotel has been taken over by Penta. This is a good development and I am sure that they will bring it up to scratch pretty soon. All in all, the hotel is fine for a night or two. The staff are good and very welcoming. And the public areas are more than acceptable. I would certainly return. It’s a nice building with lots of potential, and I’m sure the new owners will bring it up to modern standards.
