Let’s face it: choosing a hotel at Disneyland Paris is no less complicated than choosing the first ride you’ll ride in the park. Should you pay more and get the “magic” straight into your veins (and early entry hours), or save up and save your budget for macarons and shopping?
Don’t worry, I’m here to clear up the mess. After countless visits, nights in softer and less comfortable beds, and hours of walking, I’ve put together the ultimate guide for you: from the “official” hotels that will make you feel like royalty, to the hidden gems that only the locals (and I) know about.
🏆 Final Trio: Most Recommended Hotels
Official Disney Hotels (within the complex)
The big advantage? You're in the bubble. Walk to the park (or take a short shuttle) and get the Extra Magic Time – Entrance to the park an hour before everyone else.

Strategic location: opposite the train station (2 minutes to Disney) and opposite the mall.

A practical apartment hotel. The kitchen in the room allows you to prepare dinners and save.
Hotels in Paris close to RER stations leading to Disneyland Paris
If you haven't found hotels right near Disney, another great option is to stay near RER A stations (the train that leads to Disneyland Paris). This allows you to quickly and easily get to Disneyland Paris and enjoy Paris itself after returning from the theme park.

One of the most popular hotels among Israelis. Ideal for design and technology enthusiasts, a short walk from the RER train.

very interesting.
Hi Gal, first of all, thank you very much, the article is excellent and very informative…
Perhaps you are aware of the cancellation policy regarding reservations made on the Disney website regarding hotel and park admission packages?
Because I didn't find any information there about how long it takes to cancel an order, and if at all...
Thanks
I am waiting for the arrival.
Hi, good article, but I'm not aware that the Disneyland Hotel is closed for renovations until at least 2023.
I would love a suggestion for a trip to Paris with small children starting at Disneyland (RER A) with recommendations for appropriate stops (fast food to go, not cafes and restaurants)
Hi Efrat. Thank you very much for the information. I will update the article accordingly. Regarding the itinerary you requested, I do not do customized itineraries on demand, but Gal Steiner does and has vast experience in everything related to trips with small children. Click on This link And you can read more about her and the services she offers.
Hi, I didn't see any details about the Marvel Hotel.
The reason for this is that we haven't had the chance to live in it or hear about it. When we get a chance, we'll check it out and if it's good, we'll add it.
Hey
Thanks for the article
I'm only looking for hotels that have shuttles to the park.
Do you have any recommendations?
I don't remember which hotels do or don't have shuttles, but it's usually written in the hotel description.
Hey, you wrote “The hotels in the complex are not cheap, but some of them give you free entrance tickets to the park. Consider this when planning a budget. In which hotels is this included in the price?
When we searched for this hotel, it did not appear in the details that the price included.
Hello Etty,
Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. Until recently, hotels were giving away free tickets to EuroDisney, but now I've discovered that this is no longer true. I've corrected the article and removed that sentence.

Hello Tzachi,
From what I understand, you can purchase a package deal for a hotel and tickets, right?
Hello Lee,
From what I know, this option existed in the past but does not currently exist. To be on the safe side, I would recommend checking the page of each recommended hotel carefully and seeing if there is any reference to this.

We booked a Disney hotel for October and the hotel reservation includes admission to both parks for all days of our stay. So yes, it is worth checking out
Hi
1. Is the Disneyland Hotel at the entrance to the park open in early September or is it still under renovation?
2. What about the Marvel Hotel? It's not on the list.
3. Do hotels give everyone tickets to the park for the shortened lines at the entrance?
