Here’s my honest review of DLH. Hope others find it useful. I have stayed in this hotel multiple times in the past (pre renovation). This was our first time since it reopened in January 2024. We visit DLP 2-3 times a year. Things I loved: Check in - The convenience of the room key being on my phone and the hotel texting me the room number when it was ready. Saved queueing at reception to check in when we arrived and meant we could go straight into the parks. Special request - I made a special request for an East side location and a Tangled theme room. The hotel accommodated these. Location - You can’t beat the convenience of the hotel’s location and the easy of getting in the park via the hotel’s guest entrance. Evening treats - The little stories and candy placed in our room at night by housekeeping was a nice touch. The Royal Encounter - We met one princess (twice) and it was fabulous. So attentive and warm with my kids. I liked that you could book as many as you wanted during your stay. Refurbishment - the hotel is gorgeous. Very tastefully done. Mirrors and plugs - I like to be able to sit and dry my hair at a table with a well lit mirror. Our room had a dressing table with a tangled mirror. Worked well. Also to add that there was a UK plug outlet at the desk for my hairdryer! Things I didn’t like: Non hotel guests - The volume of non guests loitering in the reception area and wandering around in room corridors is a nightmare. We took our children back mid afternoon for a nap and there were teenage boys running up and down the hallway outside our room whilst their parents took photos of the reception chandelier. They weren’t staying in the hotel. Staff did nothing. There should be a key entry controlled door at the bedroom corridor entrances to prevent non guests wandering around like there is with the suites and castle club rooms. It’s just too accessible and it shouldn’t be. When story time was going on in the lobby and a princess would turn up, she would be mobbed by people who weren’t staying at the hotel. We tried to get a photo with Rapunzel but were forced back by non hotel guests! The reception area is like being in the park most of the time. It’s massively overcrowded and seems to be like that all day until very late in the evening. Royal Banquet - The food was very average for the money. Not lots of choice, took forever to get a drink, and the queue for food was ridiculous. The character interactions were brilliant though. We did feel however, that in the evening, this should have remained a hotel guest only dining experience as the waiting around was too lengthy. Breakfast - This was in the Royal Banquet restaurant. Food choices were limited as at dinner, queues for food were long as the serving area is quite small compared to the other Disney hotels. My boys missed the pancake making machines that were at those hotels. Did it represent good value for money? No. Housekeeping on check out day - I get that they want to get the rooms ready for the next guests, but check out isn’t until 11am. So I don’t expect someone to be knocking on my door at 8.30am, then 9am, then 9.15am and finally at 10am to ask if they can come into the room yet. We were exhausted from three days in the parks and wanted a lay in before our 8 hour drive home. I kept telling housekeeping that we would be leaving at 11am but different people kept coming back, and worse, kept letting themselves in! Bathroom - these aren’t big enough. When 5 of us are all trying to get ready in the morning, it’s chaotic. And the size isn’t in proportion to the room size. Would I stay there again? I think so because the location is perfect, especially with a child who has ADHD and needs to go back to the room throughout the day for breaks. But I think I would book a castle club room next time and would go mid week, off peak season as it’s quieter in the parks. The guests in castle club and the suites seem to have a different experience to those in a superior room which is a shame given how expensive it is.

Visiting the illustrious Disney World Paris was, without a doubt, a truly enchanting experience. The park's impeccable design and captivating ambiance undoubtedly live up to Disney's lofty standards. However, it seems the excellence ends there. We concluded our European holiday at Disney World, fervently anticipating our stay at the newly refurbished Disneyland Hotel, naturally at a staggeringly extravagant nightly rate. Alas, the additional expenses do not cease there. Even the breakfast buffet, a customary inclusion at such esteemed establishments, requires a separate and exorbitant payment. Permit me to categorize this review into the realms of the good, the bad, and the utterly deplorable. Upon arrival, the hotel doors magically swung open, and we were immediately enveloped in a scent that can only be described as a divine amalgamation of luxury and cotton candy. The brand-new interior greeted us in all its resplendent glory, accompanied by the classic Disney scores that only serve to heighten the immersive experience. One can almost expect Cinderella or Belle to materialize around the next corner. Yet, as we take another whiff of this heavenly aroma, we find ourselves longing, nay, expecting, a refreshing cucumber-infused water or iced tea – a staple in most esteemed 5-star establishments, one would assume. Alas, such simple pleasures are but a figment of our imagination. Not even a damp towel, infused with their (likely patented) scent, graces our presence. No, such luxuries nonexistent here! However, as we continue to be enveloped in this illusory splendor, the cracks in the veneer begin to emerge. The check-in queues reveal the true nature of the service, which can only be described as sterile. No other word seems to capture the essence of this experience adequately. The staff, while maintaining an air of excellence, lack the charisma, helpfulness, and friendliness one would expect from one of the protégés of the Disney empire. Inquiring about the lack of refreshments, we are directed to some elusive fountain within the premises. Alas, our search continues… Upon however finally locating the water source - the bathroom tap - we find the temperature to be a mere lukewarm, delightful for handwashing, yet hardly suitable for quenching one's thirst. As if the dispassionate service were not enough, we are graced by the sight of numerous entitled "princesses" in tacky, garish dresses, their cries and moans echoing through the halls, demanding yet another gift or, perhaps, a lesson in proper etiquette or discipline. Weary parents, succumb to their pleas, purchasing yet another horrid accessory or three at wallet-crippling prices. Truly, one wonders if Disney has found the secret to unbridled profitability. Now, let us delve into the truly atrocious. The rooms, while undoubtedly gorgeous, with Disney's meticulous attention to detail seamlessly interwoven into the decor, fall short in the most basic of expectations. No late afternoon or early evening refreshing of the room – a standard one would assume for an establishment of this caliber. Housekeeping staff are scarce, their presence in the corridors an elusive sight. In summary, just as the park itself is plagued by interminable queues and an unrelenting focus on extracting every possible dollar from its visitors, the hotel experience overshadows the joy and wonder typically associated with the Disney brand. Make no mistake, it is a place of dreams – the hotel and the park – but the emphasis on visual appeal and splendor comes at the cost of genuine, attentive service. The magic slowly fades, replaced by a stark realization that the true priority lies in luring you and your children into the financial abyss, rather than ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
