Product Reviews : Travel - Short Haul : Disneyland Hotel, Disneyland, Paris, France

Just perfect... Yes, expensive - but so very convenient when at the end of the day you can just walk with no busy bus transfers. Accommodation very comfortable with special touches...gold choc coins on pillow at night, Disney theme throughout. Breakfast was busy and the characters come to visit in the main hall where photos can be taken. The staff are very trained and very pleasant and overall the whole place is very clean and very child friendly.

Highly recommended. Just go!

The best place to stay when visiting Disneyland Paris. My kids would get tired in the park after a few hours, so staying on site enabled us to go back to the room, have a rest and then go out again. I highly recommend a Castle Club room. These are considered suites (they're not, just hotel room and bathroom) but you get a VIP fastpass. A regular fastpass lets you queue jump once, the VIP one gives unlimited queue jumps. Expensive but worth it. The evening buffet is also very good, huge range of dishes and Disney characters entertaining your children while you and partner enjoy a glass of wine. (Oh that's expensive too). Avoid food in park. The French are not good at junk food, a fact which I am sure they are proud of.

We stayed here for two nights. Multi-lingual staff were very helpful and service was pretty much excellent throughout. Housekeeping standards are very high - which, considering the fast turn over of guests, must take some doing. They seem to have an army of people polishing, sweeping and keeping everything just so - so full marks there.

Standard room was a good size with two double beds, so would accommodate family of four if you don’t mind sharing with the kids. Lots of Disney touches in the room, which was a tad chintzy for my tastes, but very nice and very Disney! Particularly liked the ballerina hippo tiles in the bathroom - and the fact that all the bathroom goodies were replaced each day. Didn’t use the pool or spa – kept seeing signs for them but never managed to locate them - but this wasn't a problem as we were having far too much fun in the park to be bothered about a swim or a steam.

Breakfast is "bustling" to say the least, but we were seated really quickly and the buffet selection was fine, although I'd recommend sticking to the pastries, cereal and like, as the hot food was a tad tepid. We also somehow found ourselves in the Cafe Fantasia bar each night - can recommend the very nice cocktails and complimentary nibbles. (Although was quite surreal to walk out to be confronted by Friar Tuck, in badger form.) Loads of characters stalk the halls of this place, and it's lovely to see how the kids respond. Mind you, they are very realistic - none of your moth-eared costumes here - and I did find myself waving back once or twice.

Undoubtedly, one of the best things about the hotel is its location - smack bang next to the park gates. Great for if you have little ones who tire easily (as you can nip back and let them have a nap if needs be) and also good for adults too, as we were exhausted by the end of each day.

All in all, a high standard of accommodation and service, and a fab' location. (Particularly as you can catch the Eurostar virtually to the front door.) Would totally recommend to anyone visiting - with or without kids.

The most magical experience! and of all the hotels this is THE ONE to stay in - the only problem was that it was so good, none of us wanted to go to bed! so by the end of our 5 day break we were all exhausted. Literally situated over the gates to the main park, and therefore you can fall out of the park into the hotel and vice versa - great if you have little ones that need a snooze so not far to go.

The only down side is the cost - food especially is a little expensive, but somehow the magic takes over. A true fairytale.
