Explorers Hotel

The Explorer Hotel is a child’s dream — it has a water park, arcade, pizzeria, and jungle gym, so there’s plenty to keep kids entertained. The food was decent, and my children enjoyed the activities. However, one area of the hotel had an unpleasant odor, and the pool didn’t feel very clean. Our room was comfortable but looked old and dated, especially for the price. On the bright side, the hotel offers a convenient shuttle to the parks and train station, and the pool stays open late. The free breakfast was okay but repetitive, serving the same items each morning. Overall, it’s a fun place for families with young kids, but it could really benefit from better upkeep and some modernization.

The sofa bed was not great it was noisy and uncomfortable for 2 adults to sleep on !!

Breakfast with great buffet

The room was cleaned every day. The hotel was clean and tidy. The pool was fantastic -I just wish the showers were warm. The playground and soft play were excellent. All the staff were lovely. We’d definitely go back!

Room was nice but carpets and towels where dirty and stained, the sink in the shower room kept blocking up when you run the water so couldn't use it. Catering staff were ignorant, they wouldn't let our kids sit beside us in the hot breakfast area as they were only having cereal this meant my 3 young children had to sit alone in the canteen, the hotel facilities where excellent loads to do to keep the kids entertained, overall we enjoyed our stay

Generally the hotel was okay. I felt it missed a bit of the wow factor. Some bit ma needed a better deep clean and better housekeeping. Lack of counter staff meant queues for drinks and pizza etc were as long as the Parks at times! The outdoor play area and swimming pool were very good however - just leave your UK swimming rules n regs behind! Food was good for breakfast and the buffet dinner, staff always helpful.

Clean room. Great breakfast.

So I’d booked and arranged an adapted room as a wheelchair user. I never got it I went to reception and they ignored me. I tried to get their attention and was shushed. The room I got was so small my wheelchair couldn’t fit properly to the point to not risk having it stolen I had to have it across the door essentially locking myself in. Awful experience

Excellent hotel for families, lots to do with easy access by bus or taxi to Disney.

Very enjoyable stay. Staff were excellent. Great facilities, kids really enjoyed the pool and outdoor playground.

Excellent hotel with great staff. We loved the pool, play park and relaxed atmosphere.

The pool was so crowded!!! But should have known!!! Next To Disney Paris!!!

Housekeepers were great! Breakfast is mediocre, but got the job done for the little ones. Front desk was super fast with check in and helpful. Shuttle to Disney, is the second last drop and pick up, so the bus experience was alittle hectic, as it was full a lot, got to squeeze in!

Great hotel with wonderful facilities for children. Easy on site parking with a short drive to Val de Europe and Disney

A Fantastic First Holiday to France & Disneyland – Explorer Hotel Was Perfect! We had an absolutely brilliant time staying at the Explorer Hotel for our first ever holiday to France and Disneyland Paris! From the moment we arrived, everything felt magical. The hotel is fun, family-friendly, and full of character — perfect for kids and adults alike. The pirate-themed play area was a huge hit with our little ones, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice, and the staff were always welcoming and helpful. The location is ideal — just a short shuttle ride to Disneyland, which made getting to and from the parks super easy. After a day of Disney magic, it was lovely to come back to a hotel that kept the fun going. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The Explorer Hotel helped make our first trip to France truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable Disney experience!

I’d read a million mixed reviews but decided to stay here. Asked for a quiet room and unfortunately had noise until 2:30am in the room above us. Did have to speak to reception who moved us to a higher floor the next day - more at risk of noise but heard nothing for the remainder of our trip. Facilities at the hotel great for children and open decent length of time. The general areas are a little dirty with tables full of food/rubbish. Staff don’t have that ‘Disney’ magic and seem frustrated however for the price of the place, it really does save a huge amount of money in direct comparison to Disney hotels. I would stay again (with children) but I would request a room on the top floor.

We liked the amount of things to do - pool, outside and inside play area. Arcade, cinema. Staff were friendly and helpful. There’s a regular shuttle bus to Disney parks and hotel arranged a return shuttle to val d’Europe for us at a reasonable cost. The nights were hot, so they provided an additional large fan. There were handy extras in the room, such as usb charging points, coat hooks and also a retractable drying line above the bath - handy for drying swimming costumes. However, some of my family said the beds were uncomfortable (I was fine), the bathroom door handle was hanging off and the decor was starting to look tired. The tv’s (we had a family room so there was an adjoining room with bunk beds and another tv) only showed French channels and there were no English speaking channels that worked. Finally, the breakfast was continental which I didn’t realise when booking. You have to pay extra for cooked breakfast.

Hotel is as you would expect. Great access to Disneyland, fairly basic but clean and comfortable for a family. Staff were excellent. The pool area is good but not supervised so unfortunately it’s spoilt by those parents not watching their kids or letting them do whatever they want. It was good to refresh for half an hour before heading back into the park.

Great hotel, perfect for kids who loved the pool, and breakfast was good. Sour taste left by the surprise £17/night parking charge which wasn't clearly communicated at any stage, but otherwise great

It was ok

Loads to keep kids entertained they loved it.

It was a very kid friendly hotel and very close to the disney parks. I would recommend this hotel for anyone with kids and a family. The swimming was decent and the operating hours were good!

Great hotel for kids with facilities open until 11! Including swimming. Never been somewhere that had that before but what a bonus. Only feedback is that toilets could be checked more regularly for cleanliness. Food was typical fried things but would of done with offering some healthy alternatives for kids such as apples or veg sticks.

The kids had lots of fun with the available space and amenities.

Bit shabby, under staffed

I really enjoyed the arcade, pool and the play ground. The resturant staff were nice especially Akim he really made us feel welcome. What i didnot like the room was really hot and the fan in my room wasnt working i called reception i was told the technicianion will come and fix it.... Went out for dinner and when i came back nothing had been done,Went back to the reception and i was told the technician had left... Hmmmm!!!! I was told that by 9am the next day he will come and fix the fan so i agree to stay and wait. So this was on saturday. They ignore me till Monday evening so i decide to conplain about it again i was then given a standing fun....i felt neglected and disrespected.

We had a great stay at the Explorers Hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient, making us feel. The kids especially loved the fun play area, pool, and waterslides – such a highlight for families. We did encounter a problem with our room door, but it was handled promptly and professionally, which we really appreciated. One area for improvement would be the breakfast service – many of the cereal bowls were chipped, leaving only a limited number in good condition. Overall, it’s a very family-friendly hotel and a great choice for visiting Disneyland Paris.

This property is a perfect base for people who want to visit Disneyland Paris. They offer a free shuttle bus service, which tends to run every 15/30 mins. This drops you directly in the Train station/Bus stop parking area outside Disneyland. The hotel is situated about 10 mins shuttle ride away from Disneyland and is perfect for families with Children. There is an indoor climbing area/arcades, indoor swimming pool equipped with slides and a big outdoor Play area with slides. Make sure your stay comes with access to the Aqua park as this is a good optional extra to have, when you don’t want to go Disneyland. We did one day in the Hotel and a walk around the surrounding Area and we had plenty to keep us entertained. Even if your not going to Disney, still get the shuttle into Disney as you can walk around the village for free, have photos in-front of the Disneyland hotel/water fountains and there are plenty of restaurants/bars to get something to eat. There are also plenty of options to eat within the hotel. The Breakfast they offer is continental but you can pay extra to have a cooked breakfast, it just depends what you prefer. They had plenty on offer from Jam on toast to ham, cheeses, yogurt and pastries. We would definitely choose this hotel again. Thank you for a fab stay

The check-out is 11am. I have The hotel charges you for swimming pool towels. The included breakfast does not have eggs with bacon. If you want it, you have to pay. All beverages and meals are expensive: €35 for a single-person dish; 4,00 for a 20cl apple juice. There are problems with comfort as well: the room lacks air-conditioners. It only has a fan in at the rooftop. It was very hot inside the room and hotel. There is a videogames area very cool, but expensive: 50€ for about 6 plays. The aqua park is awesome! But the water is warm, in the summer is a little bit disturbing! And also they charge you for the towels! There is an outside playground very cool!

Well presented but hotel very run down and the whole hotel needs renovating. Rooms were dirty in places including blood and several stains on bed sheets. Rooms Excessively hot & the fan was very noisy keeping us up all night! Shower was never hot and bath was dirty. Several loud bangs at night keeping us all awake. My 5 year old woke up 3 times in the night due to noise. Staff are over worked and rude at times. Overall not worth the £225 for one night! Swimming pool was mouldy in places aswell! We ate in the restaurant which was average but very over priced & the free breakfast was a fly infested disaster and absolutely chaos!!

Property staff were all friendly and helpful, facilities were excellent our only issue was inconsistency of the shuttle bus times.

The kids enjoyed the amenities so much. Affodable.
