There's nothing like free shuttle or something that you might call like that, connecting the airport and your hotel in Beauvais. There's a simple city bus with its own schedule that pass through the village, the airport and the industrial area where most of the hotels are. When you get off the bus from Paris in the airport you find a sign of the Balladins Hotel and you'll read "free shuttle": that's not true, you'll have to pay 4 euros for the bus or get a surely not free taxi!
We arrived at the airport at 7 p.m.and couldn't get to the Balladins before 9:30 p.m. (5 km). The hotel brochure tells you it is situated at few steps from the airport, the steps of a giant whose legs are at least 2,5 km each! We'been dropped in a deserted and dark industrial area with a "good luck" from the bus driver! I'd say everybody to think about all the extra that the beauvais airport implies before booking a low fare flight......30 euros for the city shuttle 4 for the bus and 20 for a terrible dinner at the airport restaurant, sure we could avoid the restaurant but there's no much choice there....the hotel is clean although very ghostly, the rooms of the kind you expect in an industrial area with a small windows that looks on the speedway, we stayed there because we had an early flight but next time....Orly Airport or No Paris at all!
