I will be going to Paris in a short visit for one and half days in 1st week of November.
I will be coming thru ORLY airport.
I serached for hotels near ORLY airport and near the Metro station as my flight in the next day will be at 8:30am, I found %26quot;Mister Bed City Cachan%26quot; hotel . Very close to Cachan Metro station.
1- Have you been there or heard about it?
2- What %26#39;s the best transportation from Orly airport to the hotel. (Orly bus then get the Metro to Cashan or orly bus / another bus can take me direct to the hotel)?
Where to buy the Ticket for the Metro %26amp; how much ?
Is there offer for one ticket for the whole weekend %26amp; how much?
3- Do Metro and Buses start working early in the morning (around 6:30am)?

Sorry - I have not heard of that hotel. Much of the information you need about transportation can be found at www.ratp.fr (click on the top right flags for english).

1. No, sorry.
2. Metro is always best in Paris. Buy tickets either on the automated ticket machine at the station or at the ticket counter.
3. The metro does, I don%26#39;t know about the bus.

Sorry...never heard of this budget hotel chain....nor this particular one-- misterbed.fr/5-mb-city/…504f1-cachan.html --all the way out (Transportation Zone 3) at ARCUEIL-CACHAN (to be correct about the name) station on the RER %26#39;B%26#39;
The First Train of the day for the RER %26#39;B%26#39; lignes from ARCUEIL-CACHAN station TO Paris runs at approx. 05:11 AM and the First Train of the day to ANTONY for the ORLYVAL shuttle train to ORLY runs at 05:38 AM. Last Train of the day TO ARCUEIL-CACHAN FROM Paris runs at approx 00:45 (12:45 AM).
First Train for all Metro lignes is 05:30....a bit later for most public bus routes. There is also a NOCTILIEN, night bus sytem that operates after the regular bus and Metro system ends at night.
RATP Ticket %26amp; Transportation Pass Prices--
ratp.info/informer/titres_de_transport.php
Tickets and transportation passes will be available at any RER or Metro station...and from some local TABACs. Given that your location is out in Transportation Zone 3, a PARIS VISITE Zone 1-3 transportation pass will probably fit the bill best for a weekend. Bear in mind that %26#39;..single ticket rides are only within and between two(2) adjoining transportation zones...and ARCUEIL-CACHAN is three(3) zones from Paris.
Evidently cost was a consideration in your hotel selection...but is there some reason you selected a hotel this far out from Paris??

Thanks a lot all
KDKSAIL: the reason for selecting this hotel is to be close to Orly airport as my flight to NICE will be at 8:30am which means I have to be at the airport at 7:30am. BTW, is that enough for internal flight or I have to be there earlier?
2nd thing, this hotel costs 51 euro per night which is within my budget.
From ratp web site, %26quot;Orlybus is a shuttle bus that runs from Orly airport to Place Denfert-Rochereau in Paris taking about 30 minutes.%26quot;.
If I can trust the timing %26amp; duration of orly bus, please recommend for me hotels near the orly bus station in Place Denfert-Rochereau and not costly (50-100).
BTW, how much does orly bus cost for one trip? Is it better than getting ORLYVAL shuttle train to Anthony station on RER B and then get the RER.
I understood that: Orly airport in zone 4, can I use ParisVisite 1-3 zones to go from/to Orly airport?

Even though yours will be a domestic flight...I%26#39;s till allow 1 /12-to-2 hours check-in and security to be on the safe side.

Did you search for budget hotels closer in to the center of Paris proper??
As one example....the HÔTEL TIQUETONNE (1-star) 6 rue Tiquetonne, 75002, Metro: Etienne Marcel, RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne: Chatelet Les Halles...within walking distance of the CHATELET-Les HALLES station for the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne trains to ANTONY and the ORLYVAL shuttle/train to and from ORLY. A little place like this actually IN Paris might be a better choice...amd well within your budget and transportation requirements.

I can%26#39;t quite understand your rationale for choosing the ORLYBUS over ORLYVAL ( .http://www.ratp.info/orienter/aeroport_orlyval.php?partenaire= )...beyond the 3,20€ fare difference. You would have to take the RER %26#39;B%26#39; from the ARCUEIL-CACHAN RER station a block from your hotel...to ANTONY (any train with a %26#39;..K xxx..%26#39; designation 10 mins), switch over to the ORLYVAL shuttle/train to your ORLY departure terminal(10 mins) RER %26#39;K xxx%26#39; train frequency is 1-every-15 mins. ORLYVAL frequency is 1-every-4-to-7 mins from Antony.
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;I understood that: Orly airport in zone 4, can I use ParisVisite 1-3 zones to go from/to Orly airport?%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;
NO....if your %26#39;..plan..%26#39; is to use a PARIS VISITE Zone 1-3 pass to travel from ARCUEIL-CACHAN on the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne, up to DENFERT-ROCHEREAU...and then come up to street level and make your way across to the stop for the ORLYBUS there....and then pay the 7,20 ORLYBUS fare out to ORLY...you will save 3,20€ and ADD perhaps an additional 30-40 minutes to what should only be a 25-30 min. trip from your hotel. It%26#39;s a bad bargain.
