Advantages: Clean, basic accomodation Disadvantages: In the middle of traffic hell
...It was my girlfriend's 21st birthday and I had a week of holiday to use up before Christmas. So, as you do, I booked a trip to Toulouse for the two of us.
The Kyriad is probably not the hotel I would have chosen if I'd had an unlimited budget and more time to reflect on the trip. A huge 2 star hotel at the wrong end of Toulouse's Boulevard de la Gare, everything about its decoration, situation and lack of facilities suggests that it's not a hotel for a romantic break, more one for the low end business traveller.
It's next to a canal, but at the exact point where the still waters are covered by a large concrete bridge. Crowds of typically French pedestrians throng past for much of the day, and unfortunately most of them seem to be typically French prostitutes. The kebab shop around the corner serves possibly the dodgiest kebab I...

Advantages: Pleasent hotel with good connections into Disneyland Disadvantages: Not much to eat in the hotel restaurant if your a vegetarian.
...The Hotel in Kyriad at marné la valleé is situated about half a mile from the Disneyland park itself in a little cluster of hotels in the countryside. Getting there couldn’t be easier as it is connected to both of Paris’s airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, by the VEA Shuttle bus (14 euros per person one way) which stops right outside the hotel on request. Guests should note that to return to the airport you have to book the VEA two days in advance at your hotel, however should you forget to do this then you cant catch it without booking at the bus stop in Disneyland. If you arrive by Eurostar then simply take the bus to the Kyriad from the Disneyland bus stop outside the station which operates every five minutes. The hotel itself is styled as a chateau of the Brie region and is most pleasant to stay in. The rooms are clean...

Advantages: Clean, well maintained, price is okay Disadvantages: Tiny rooms, very limited on space
...We stayed in the Kyriad la Villette in Paris for three nights and can only partly confirm the positive review written so far. First of all, although we had booked bed and breakfast over the internet, the receptionist insisted that the breakfast was not included and that the company (lastminute.com) was at fault selling this hotel room together with the breakfast. As this young woman did not appear massively competent anyway, we came back in the evening and spoke to another member of staff - who confirmed that the breakfast was in fact included and had been paid for.
The room we had in this hotel was the smallest I've ever experienced. Even budget-chains like Etap or Formule 1 have larger rooms with more storage space. The wardrobe was absolutely tiny, more the size of a locker - way too small for two people. The bed was not a proper...
