Oscar is the small, cheap night near the water. It’s about 900 m from the terminal in a straight line, and breakfast is about €9.
It scores on distance alone. No restaurant, no bar, no parking.
Check-in shuts at 20:00, and that’s the catch after a train from Paris — tell them if you’ll be late.
Book it if
- You want a cheap bed near the ship
- You’re bringing a dog
- You’ll eat out in the centre
Look elsewhere if
- You’re arriving after 20:00
- You’re driving
- You want a bar downstairs
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Oscar Hôtel publishes and our own map estimates.
Nothing to eat on site that we found listed, so plan dinner in town.
No ride to the ship is listed. The terminal is about 900 m in a straight line by our pins. The road route round the docks is longer than that line, and the tourist office puts the terminal 2.5 km from the centre, so take a taxi with bags. No official fare is published; an unofficial report puts the terminal-to-centre taxi at about €8.
Not in the rate: about €9 a person, 06:30 to 09:30, per Hotels.com; the tourist office also gives €9, free under 12.
The cruise terminal is about 900 m away in a straight line, so it’s a ride, not a walk. Your boarding documents set the check-in time, not the hotel.
Hotels.com says there’s no on-site parking. Nothing is offered for a cruise.

Getting here, and on to the ship
By our map estimate Oscar Hôtel is about 185 km from Charles de Gaulle in a straight line, and about 900 m from the cruise terminal. Every question mark below is a ride you book yourself.
No airport transfer is listed. From Charles de Gaulle it’s the train: SNCF’s fastest is 4h28 with a change at Massy TGV, or the RER B into Paris and 2h00 from Saint-Lazare.
No ride to the ship is listed. The terminal is about 900 m in a straight line by our pins.

From CDG without a hotel shuttle
There’s no direct train from Charles de Gaulle. SNCF Connect’s fastest CDG–Le Havre trip takes 4h28 with a change at Massy TGV, and the average is 5h39. The other way is the RER B into Paris, €14 and 25 to 30 minutes to Gare du Nord per Île-de-France Mobilités, then across to Saint-Lazare for a train that takes 2h00 at its fastest. The airport page has the fares and the landing check.
