Aparthotel or Traditional Hotel Near Disneyland Paris: Which Should You Choose?

For a stay of several nights or a family trip near Disneyland® Paris, an aparthotel combines the services of a hotel (24-hour reception, buffet breakfast) with the independence of an apartment: a fully equipped kitchenette, more living space, and better control over your food budget.

The Kitchenette: A Budget-Friendly Advantage

Restaurant meals can quickly become one of the biggest expenses for families visiting Disneyland® Paris. In an aparthotel, every accommodation includes a fully equipped kitchenette, allowing you to prepare breakfast and dinner whenever you like.

A buffet breakfast is also available every day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in a dedicated breakfast room, priced at €15 per adult and €11 per child.

The buffet includes hot and cold drinks, along with a wide selection of sweet and savory items, including fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, bread, jams, Nutella, cakes, yogurt, cold cuts, eggs, cheese, and more.

A supermarket is located just a short walk from Résidence du Parc, and a bakery is conveniently situated at the foot of the residence.

More Space: Real Apartments, Not Just Hotel Rooms

Résidence du Parc Val d’Europe offers studios for 2 or 4 guests, as well as two-bedroom apartments accommodating up to 6 people. Everyone enjoys their own space—an invaluable comfort after a full day at the Disney parks.

Hotel Services Included

Choosing an aparthotel doesn’t mean giving up hotel services. The multilingual reception is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a daily buffet breakfast is available, the outdoor swimming pool is open during the warmer months, and a range of equipment can be borrowed free of charge from reception upon request, including baby cots, hairdryers, irons, and kitchenware kits.

The Main Differences to Know

Unlike a traditional hotel, housekeeping is not provided during your stay. The apartment is cleaned after check-out, and a dedicated waste disposal area is available for guests throughout their stay.

This is one of the reasons why aparthotels offer particularly competitive rates, especially for stays of several nights.

What is the difference between an aparthotel and a hotel?

An aparthotel offers accommodation with a fully equipped kitchenette while still providing key hotel services such as a 24-hour reception and buffet breakfast. Unlike a traditional hotel, housekeeping is generally performed after check-out rather than daily.

Is an aparthotel suitable for a short stay near Disneyland?

Yes. At Résidence du Parc Val d’Europe, check-in is available from 4:00 p.m., Disneyland® Paris is just a 10-minute drive away, and a direct bus to the parks stops right in front of the residence.
