Disneyland Hotel Paris Review: Is It Worth The Price?

Disneyland Hotel is the 5-star flagship hotel at Disneyland Paris, sitting right at the entrance to Disneyland Park, with prices starting at around £800 a night for two adults including park tickets. After a Valentine's weekend in a Classic Room with a large double bed (it was called a Superior king room when we stayed), we'd call it the best hotel Disneyland Paris has, held back from perfect by a handful of service niggles. This Disneyland Hotel Paris review covers our room, breakfast, all four places to eat and drink, what each room tier gets you and what it all costs per night in GBP.

Disneyland Hotel Classic, Deluxe And Castle Club Rooms Explained

Disneyland Hotel has 487 rooms and suites across three tiers. Classic is the entry level, Deluxe adds its own lounge, and Castle Club sits at the top, along with the Signature and Grand Suites, which come with Castle Club access. Classic Rooms are now listed as either "1 large double bed and 1 fold-out bed" (what used to be called a king room) or "2 double beds". We stayed in a Classic Room with a large double bed, in the category that makes up most of the hotel at 346 of those 487 rooms.

To give you a ballpark, on a sample October 2026 date suite packages started at around £6,600 for the Frozen Castle Club Grand Suite and reached around £7,900 for the Sleeping Beauty Castle Club Grand Suite with a view of Disneyland Park. Full details are on the official Disneyland Hotel page and the Club Rooms and Suites page.

For most UK guests the choice comes down to Classic or Deluxe, and on breakfast alone the sums don't add up. Two Royal Banquet breakfasts cost €90 a day (around £77), while moving up to Deluxe added around £365 a night on average across our sample dates. You're paying for the lounge, Tea Time and the private check-in as much as the food.

How Much Does Disneyland Hotel Paris Cost Per Night?

Disneyland Hotel Paris prices start at around £800 a night for a Classic Room for two adults including park tickets, and can reach around £2,000 a night depending on your dates and how far ahead you book. It's the most expensive hotel at Disneyland Paris. On our sample dates, Deluxe averaged 32% more than Classic, Castle Club averaged 68% more, and a Castle Club Room with a view of Disneyland Park came to roughly double the Classic price.

Averages worked out from sample two-night stays in January, July and October for two adults with park tickets.

The gap between tiers changes with your dates. On our January sample date, Deluxe cost 44% more than Classic, but in July and October that dropped to 27%. Castle Club went the other way. It was only 6% more than Deluxe in January, against 38% more in July and October, so if you're travelling in January, check the Castle Club price before you settle on Deluxe. This is down to Disneyland Paris dynamic pricing, which prices each room type on demand for your dates, so the tiers don't rise and fall together.

For a two-night stay like ours, a Classic Room comes to around £1,600 to £4,000 for two adults before you've eaten anything. Dates move the price more than anything else, and the Disneyland Paris price calendar shows a colour-coded estimate for every arrival date so you can spot the cheaper nights. The calendar updates once a day, so check the live price for your dates before you book.

What It Costs To Eat At Disneyland Hotel

Pound prices converted at roughly 85p to the euro (October 2026) and rounded. The rate your card provider charges will differ slightly.

If you plan to eat most meals in the hotel, Disneyland Hotel guests can add the Premium Meal Plan, which is only available to guests of this hotel and includes the character dining restaurants.

Getting To Disneyland Hotel From The UK

Disneyland Hotel is a short walk from Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy station, which makes the train an easy way in. There's no longer a direct Eurostar to Disneyland Paris, so you'll take Eurostar from London St Pancras to Lille Europe and change onto a TGV to Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy. If you'd rather drive, take a ferry or LeShuttle across and head for the hotel car park, which is free and reserved for Disneyland Hotel guests. Valet parking is also available. Disney Holidays packages can include flights to Paris from many UK airports.

DisneylandParis.com only sells the hotel and tickets, so if you want Eurostar, P&O Ferries, Eurotunnel or flights in the same booking, that goes through Disney Holidays instead. You can always book your travel separately if you'd rather.

Disneyland Hotel Check-In Experience

When you pull up, cast members come to the car and take your bags before you've set foot inside. We were handed a luggage ticket and told our bags would be waiting in the room once it was ready.

Walk into the lobby and the first thing you notice is how it looks. The second is the smell. Then you look up at the castle chandelier, which is beautiful. My only nitpick with the lobby design is that the ceiling panels look a bit like cardboard.

A cast member then welcomes you and points you towards reception, which is on your left just past this Sleeping Beauty Castle artwork.

The standard check-in desks come first, with the Deluxe check-in (two tables and chairs) just after. There was no real queue system, so people stood around waiting to be seen. After a couple of minutes a cast member came over, asked how he could help and walked us to a free desk.

Clement, who checked us in, was great. He asked us straight off the bat whether my partner and I slept in the same bed. Curious where this was going, we said yes, and it turned out he wanted to offer us a room with a large double bed, which we took. He then handed us a little book about the hotel, which makes a nice keepsake.

He told us our royal story was about to begin, handed over our MagicPasses and said the room would be ready at 3pm, with a text and email to follow with the room number. We'd checked in at around 11am, so we explored the hotel and spent a few hours in the park. The MagicPass works as your room key and park ticket.

Disneyland Hotel Dedicated Park Entrance

Disneyland Hotel guests get their own entrance into Disneyland Park, on the right as you walk towards the park from Disney Village. It used to be the Annual Pass holder entrance. It closes at some point in the afternoon, and on a couple of occasions only one entry point was open, which meant a long queue. Castle Club guests also get a private lift down to the park entrance. Every Disneyland Hotel guest gets Extra Magic Time, which lets you into one or both parks before they open to everyone else, with the parks and times varying by date.

Exploring The Disneyland Hotel Lobby And Princess Encounters

We stayed up late one night to photograph the lobby empty, and that's when it looks its best.

After checking in we went straight up the royal staircase. Upstairs, the libraries are full of artwork that's worth taking your time over.

Every couple of hours a princess appears by the royal staircase for photos with guests, and we caught two, Belle and Cinderella. It never felt crowded. At busier times only guests staying at the hotel or with a dining reservation can get in, though Disney sometimes relaxes this when Disneyland Paris is quiet. You can also book a Disney Royal Encounter, a one-to-one photo session with a royal Disney character, through the Disneyland Paris app. From Thursday to Sunday, Story Keepers wander the lobby pointing out hidden details.

The staircase isn't reserved for Disney royalty either. Cast members will walk younger guests down it as well, and I love that they do this.

From the walkways you can look down on Disneyland Park. After years of looking up at those windows from below, being on the other side of them felt surreal. The walkway passes a throne for photos, along with artwork and sculptures, and there are seats along the way if you fancy a sit down.

On your left is the Royal Collection Boutique, which sells Disneyland Hotel merchandise you won't find elsewhere. We came away with the lobby room spray and candle, and I'm sitting here smelling it as I type.

Keep walking and you reach a large room under a domed ceiling.

This is where you'll find Royal Banquet, La Table de Lumière and Fleur de Lys Bar. We tried all three, starting with breakfast.

Disneyland Hotel Paris Breakfast Price, Times And Characters

Breakfast at Disneyland Hotel Paris costs €45 per adult (around £38) for Classic Room guests, served at Royal Banquet between 7:30am and 11am. Deluxe and Castle Club guests have breakfast included in their own lounge, and Royal Banquet breakfast has no characters.

Given the price, I assumed breakfast would be character dining like lunch and dinner, and judging by the confused faces around us, plenty of other guests thought the same. The food was a standard hotel buffet. At €45 against around €20 at the other Disney hotels, we couldn't see what the extra money was for, and flagging down a server for more coffee took some effort.

Should You Have Breakfast At Disneyland Hotel?

If you're in a Classic Room, we'd skip it. Two adults pay €90 a day (around £77), which is €180 across a two-night stay (around £153), and if you want the Royal Banquet meal with characters, lunch or dinner is when they visit the tables. If included breakfast matters to you, compare the Classic Room and Deluxe prices for your dates on the Disneyland Paris price calendar before you decide, though Deluxe added around £365 a night on average on our sample dates, against around £77 a day for two Royal Banquet breakfasts.

Fleur de Lys Bar At Disneyland Hotel

Fleur de Lys Bar is the hotel's bar and lounge, which took over from Cafe Fantasia in the reimagining. It's comfortable, the cast members were friendly, and the theming fits the rest of the hotel. Alongside cocktails it serves mocktails for children and sweet and savoury snacks.

You'd expect to pay more for a drink in a 5-star hotel, but some standard drinks here cost double what they do elsewhere at Disneyland Paris. For us, that makes it somewhere for a drink or two rather than a whole evening, because a couple of rounds adds up fast. Our round of French 75 and Espresso Martini did go down well, though. The full breakdown with prices is in our Fleur de Lys Bar review.

Royal Banquet Character Dining At Disneyland Hotel

Royal Banquet is a buffet with character dining at lunch and dinner, where Mickey, Minnie and friends visit the tables in royal outfits. It costs €100 for adults (around £85) and €50 for children (around £43), so a family of four with two children pays €300, or around £255.

The walls are lined with paintings of Disney royal families, and the buffet leans towards seafood. However, I don't eat seafood and still found plenty. It's the best character dining we've had at Disneyland Paris and never felt rushed, unlike our meal at Plaza Gardens, and the servers were funny and quick. At €100 a head, it's pricey though. Our full Royal Banquet review has the photos.

La Table de Lumière Fine Dining At Disneyland Hotel

La Table de Lumière is one of the fine dining options at Disneyland Hotel, set in a room inspired by the Hall of Mirrors, with Disney princesses (and their princes) visiting during the meal. The set three-course menu, which runs closer to five courses once the extras arrive, costs €120 for adults (around £102) and €60 for children (around £51).

For us it's the best food at Disneyland Paris. The menu has something for most tastes, the room is elegant, and working your own royal story into the meal suits the hotel's theme. It's one of the best Disney meals I've had anywhere, and I don't think €120 is outrageous for it.

Our La Table de Lumière review has every course, plus the €150 (around £128) Disneyland Hotel champagne.

La Forêt Secrète par Jean Imbert At Disneyland Hotel

La Forêt Secrète par Jean Imbert is another fine dining option at Disneyland Hotel, with signature menus created by chef Jean Imbert in a forest-themed room with views of Sleeping Beauty Castle. There are two menus, at €140 (around £119) and €200 (around £170). We preferred La Table de Lumière, but La Forêt Secrète is a different style of meal and an interesting one. The full menu and photos are in our La Forêt Secrète review.

Disneyland Hotel Royal Kids Club And Family Experiences

The Royal Kids Club offers free childcare for children aged 4 to 11 for up to two hours a day, subject to availability, and Disneyland Hotel is the only hotel at Disneyland Paris that has one. Separately, the Magic Library has interactive stories and creative workshops for children of all ages. Two hours of free childcare is enough for a spa treatment or a quieter dinner for the grown-ups.

My Royal Dream is a paid makeover where children become a prince or princess, with hair, make-up and a costume depending on the option you pick. If you've been to Walt Disney World, it's the Disneyland Paris version of Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Appointments have to be booked in advance through the Disneyland Paris app and are paid for on the day, so book early if it's a must for your trip.

Disneyland Hotel Pool, Spa And Health Club

The Crystal Pool and Health Club has a swimming pool, a sauna, a fitness suite and a meditation and yoga space, and none of the other Disney hotels at Disneyland Paris quite match it. We only had a quick look ourselves, and it was quiet each time we passed.

The Disneyland Hotel Spa by Clarins offers massages, manicures, pedicures and treatments designed for children, suitable from age 6. Treatments cost extra, and you don't have to be staying at Disneyland Hotel to book one, so keep it in mind even if you're staying at another Disney hotel.

Our Disneyland Hotel Classic Room With A Large Double Bed

Rooms were due at 3pm, so we came back from the park at around 2:30pm and sat in the lobby. 3pm passed with no text or email. By 3:30pm we'd waited long enough and went to reception, where a cast member wrote our room number down for us. Plenty of other guests were doing the same, so the room was ready but the notification never came.

The hallways smelled of fresh carpet all the way to room 3120.

The room is elegant, and while this style isn't usually my thing, I liked it a lot.

It's a good size with plenty of storage, and there are robes and slippers, and you can take the slippers home. The minibar has complimentary soft drinks, and the bed was as comfortable as the ones on Disney Cruise Line. There's even a pillow menu.

Our artwork was from Raya and the Last Dragon, with a Tangled-themed mirror on the desk in the corner and a smart coffee station.

Ours was a large double bed room on an end corner, so the shape was different from the standard layout. There was no view to speak of, just a mound of mud outside the window, which didn't bother us.

The bathroom has good toiletries, soft towels, a powerful shower, a Seven Dwarfs mirror and even a bidet. I had two gripes. The shower door doesn't fully open because the towel rail is in the way, and the mirror steams up. That might sound like a small thing, but every 5-star hotel I've stayed in has had a demisting mirror, so I expected one at this price.

Disneyland Hotel Problems We Had

We slept well and liked the room a lot, but a few things let the stay down.

• Our luggage wasn't in the room as promised. We tried calling down, but the phone line to luggage assistance was constantly engaged, so I ended up walking down to the desk in the lobby, and a cast member brought the bags up within 10 minutes.
• The bathroom door didn't close properly, and the paintwork was rushed in several places, with spilt paint on the bathroom floor and patchy walls.
• The TV sits behind glass, a style first used at Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, and the glare made it hard to see (not that we watch much TV ourselves, but kids do).
• Housekeeping didn't replace our water bottles.
• There was no turn-down service on either night, even though Disney advertises it for every room at the hotel.

We stayed a few weeks after the hotel reopened, and most of this is the sort of thing that gets sorted once a hotel settles in. You can call housekeeping about some of it, but at a 5-star hotel you shouldn't have to chase. Every cast member we dealt with went out of their way to help, which made the issues easier to live with.

Is Disneyland Hotel The Best Disneyland Paris Hotel?

For location and dining, yes, Disneyland Hotel is the best Disneyland Paris hotel we've stayed in. It's also the only 5-star hotel Disney runs there and the most expensive. Whether it's the best hotel for your trip depends on how much time you'll spend in it, so here's how it compares with the two Disney hotels we've reviewed at the other end of the price scale.

Are the Disneyland Paris hotels any good overall? In our experience, yes. Sequoia Lodge and Cheyenne both include Extra Magic Time and are within walking distance of the parks. The difference with Disneyland Hotel is that the hotel itself becomes part of the trip, while Sequoia Lodge and Cheyenne are places to come back to after a day in the parks. Our Disneyland Paris offers guide has current deals across all of them.

Who Should Stay At Disneyland Hotel?

Disneyland Hotel suits some trips far better than others.

It's a good fit if you

• want to stay right at the entrance to Disneyland Park with your own way in
• are celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon or big birthday
• have children who'd love princess meet and greets, a free kids' club and a royal makeover
• plan to spend time enjoying the hotel itself, instead of leaving at rope drop (park opening) and coming back at closing

It's probably not for you if you

• are on a tighter budget, as Disney Sequoia Lodge (about 15 minutes' walk from the parks) or Disney Hotel Cheyenne (about 20 minutes) still include Extra Magic Time for much less
• only want somewhere to sleep between park days

Is Disneyland Hotel Worth It? Our Verdict

Yes, for a special occasion. Disneyland Hotel is the closest Disneyland Paris has come to feeling like Walt Disney World for me, and the cast members we met were excellent. It's also expensive, and with Classic Rooms starting at around £800 a night for two with tickets, the service niggles stand out more than they would at a cheaper hotel.

If money isn't a concern, it's an easy recommendation. For everyone else, I'd book a night or two here on cheaper dates and spend that time enjoying the hotel, then do the park days from another Disney hotel. Ours was a Valentine's weekend and anniversary surprise for my fiancée (which I got to enjoy too, of course), and that's the kind of trip it suits best.

Families with young children who'll dress up and meet the princesses will get the most out of it, and cast members make a bigger fuss of children in costume. I didn't come away with the buyer's remorse I half expected, and I'll update this review when we go back to see if the issues I had get resolved.

If you'd like to compare it with the other hotels first, our Disneyland Paris offers guide covers prices and current deals across all the Disney hotels.
