Holiday Inn PARIS-REPUBLIQUE

This was the Holiday Inn, and now it is the Crowne Plaza....no real surprise as they are part of the same hotel group. On the East side of the Republique square. I stayed in 2012 and the square was under construction....so my room with a view was a construction workers dream. Staff was helpful and courteous. I wasn't too jazzed on their resto recommendations, and sought out my own. The room was very comfortable and it was air conditioned. I tried the exercise room and it was below average for a hotel that big. The metro is right out in front. There are some nice places for coffee and croissants around the corner, but one must walk by homeless people.

Directions: Place Republique

We landed at the airport and successfully bought train tickets. We found our way to the Place de la Republique and checked into our hotel (Holiday Inn on the square). There were four of us. Myself, my husband, our college age daughter, and our seven year old son.

The first night we went across the square for dinner

The next night we ate dinner at the hotel.

The following night, we picked up baguettes, nutella crepes, and McD's on the way back from the Metro and ate in our room.

We ate dinner at a pizzeria near the hotel on the next night

Regarding your question: "I am needing to know the best way to get from the CDG Airport to The Holiday Inn Paris republique in the 10e (10 Place De La Republique)."

We brought our 3 year old twins to Paris and we stayed at this very hotel - the Holiday Inn Paris Republique in 2007. We chose the hotel because it is very close to the Metro, with five lines going through it -- so you can go anywhere! But we decided to take the taxi to the hotel because it was quicker and we had our carseats anyway. It cost about 45 Euros. But, you can also take the train for about 8 Euro per person. You can take RER from Terminal 3 Charles de Gaulle airport to Gare du Nord (8 Euro) then Metro to Republique (100 metres from hotel). It is so easy to find! Good Luck!

Also, the price of our hotel was very reasonable compared to others and breakfast was included which was very good buffet - but if not included in your room price I think it costs over 20 Euros. Also, the room given to us was big with slanted roofs and if you stick your neck out the window, you can see the twinkling Eiffel. The twins had adequate space for playing... We were mostly using the Metro and just arrived at the hotel tired and slept...check in was easy. When we have bought a lot of stuff, we just leave it at the hotel and then go out again! It was fun! Hope this helps you...

Unique Quality: 100 meters to Metro and buffet breakfast was good (better if included in price of your room because otherwise you are charged over 20 Euro)

Directions: Metro: Republique

BAD: Arriving at the Holiday Inn Republique is probably as confusing as can be. Allthough the lobby is small you feel unnoticed. The lines are LONG. The desk clerks have no idea what they are doing. And the service is inconsistent.
BAD to GOOD: Travelling with three collegues we all got totally different responce to our wishing to check in around 1PM. I myself got a room right away: a very charming one actually. Top floor under the roof. Windows with direct star view and - standing on a chair - a pitoresque Aristocats look over the roofs of Paris.
BAD: when arriving they neglected to tell us that breakfast was included. We didn't realise this until we payed the bill.

Unique Quality: A factory hotel.
Does not live up to the fancy look.

My husband and ?I along with our 15 month od daughter stayed at this hotel for 5 days in July '06. The hotel is in a excellent location just a minutes walk from teh metro station. there are very good connection.

Also must mention the service. Very good and effieicent. Made us feel at home. The food was also excellent.

Would surely stay in the same place teh next time around also.

There are a lot of eataris around the place and a super market chain - monoprix very close by !

Unique Quality: We really did not use teh facilities much ...but yes, the restaurant was very good and specially the breakfast.

Just near the exit of Metro so Its very convenient. The place Republique is a a nice square with lots of places to eat, and shop.

Unique Quality: As a resident guest we were given a coupon for 50% discount on Buffet breakfast which was very tasty and a whole lots of choices.
I liked the fruit Salad, Croissant, few types of Chesse and the hot choclate.

Directions: Metro : Republique
Exit toward Place de la Republique

The hotel had very nice facilities, the staff was very helpful, and it was extremely clean. It was located across the street from a Metro stop, which made it accessible from anywhere in the city, and it was located on a square that had plenty of restaurants.

Unique Quality: When there was a problem with our wake-up call and missed our plane out of Paris, the manager was very accomodating and gave us a room for free for the night. We had spent all of our money on a taxi to the airport to try to make the flight, and the staff was extremely understanding and helpful.
