Market of the Red Children

The room was hot and stuffy with electrical issues. The ceiling was damaged in our shower and bathroom. The front desk staff was rude and unwilling to make any accommodations to a different room. The AC in the rooms do not work well enough to cool the rooms so we had to sleep with the window open and unfortunately the hotel is next to CDG and directly on a freeway. The website claims to have a shuttle service to CDG but the shuttle service only went as far as a gas station, completely misleading and useless.

I had an international connection at CDG Airport that required me to stay in a hotel overnight, but didn't give me enough time to venture into the city. Having looked at several properties near the airport, I booked The Jangle Hotel because it seemed like an affordable high-quality hotel located within a 15-minute free shuttle ride. My stay confirmed all of these advantages and more. Most importantly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and hotel staff were very friendly. The complimentary hot breakfast included a buffet with a broad array of choices, putting it significantly above what one would typically get at good 2.5-3-star hotel chain in North America. I also used the hotel gym, and was pleasantly surprised to see the back yard, including flower beds, trees, picnic tables and a table-tennis table. I was not there with children, but there are some family friendly amenities even in the lobby - which didn't inconvenience me in any way. The one item that annoyed me a little was the room TV system. The screen is huge, which is great, but there seemed to be a tiny selection of live channels and Netflix required me to log in under my own account, which I didn't want to do. I also had trouble casting the screen of my laptop onto the TV. All in all, it was a very enjoyable overnight stay and I would definitely come back again.
