Former partner hotel Next to Disney's golf
Radisson Blu Hotel Paris, Marne-la-Vallée
Well known to golfers in Marne-la-Vallée, the Radisson Blu is one of the best hotels close to Disneyland Paris. Recently renovated, the Radisson also offers a free shuttle bus service to the parks. Read our review of this hotel and everything you need to know before you stay.
Why choose the Radisson Blu for a Disneyland Paris holiday?
- The only hotel located on the Disneyland Paris golf course: a real plus for mums and dads who like to play a round of golf during their Disney holiday
- 4-star accommodation at an attractive price: if you’re one of those people who’d rather spend less on a room and more in the parks, this hotel is made for you
- A hotel very close to the parks: the hotel’s free shuttle bus takes you to Disneyland Paris every 30 minutes
How much does a stay at the Radisson Disney hotel cost?
The first thing to remember: the Radisson Blu Hotel Paris, Marne-la-Vallée is one of the cheapest hotels close to Disneyland Paris! It’s a great choice if you plan to buy your tickets yourself and book your accommodation separately (as a room-only stay).
A few examples of prices for a room-only stay at the Radisson Blu:
*prices shown are for a standard room
| Period | Couple | Family with 1 child |
| 1 night at the weekend, 17 to 18 February 2024 | £122 | £122 |
| 2 nights midweek, Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 April 2024 (French school holidays) | £156 | £156 |
| 2 weekday nights, Monday 10 June to 12 June 2024 | £171 | £171 |
Proof that this hotel is competitively priced: on the dates we compared, it showed lower prices than hotels in the same category, such as the Hôtel Élysée Val d’Europe. We found nights up to 50% cheaper on some dates!
How to book?
To get the best deals, you have two options:
- Book on the official Radisson Blu Paris Marne-la-Vallée website: you can even save 10% by joining the Radisson Rewards programme
- Book on Booking.com: the world-famous booking site offers a few perks, such as free cancellation or booking with no prepayment
Where is the Radisson Blu in Marne-la-Vallée?
The Radisson sits right in the heart of the Golf Paris Val d’Europe, a golf course on the south-eastern edge of the Disneyland Paris resort. Rooms with a view over the golf course are particularly popular.
It’s also very close to other hotels such as the Marriott Village d’Île-de-France and Staycity Aparthotels. As you can see in the image below, this 4-star hotel is no further away than the Val de France hotels (Explorers, Dream Castle…).
No surprise, then, that the hotel’s prime location is the main strength highlighted by guests on Tripadvisor (4.5/5).
A large car park, but… you have to pay!
If you’re planning to drive to Disney, note that the hotel has a 270-space car park. However, the private car park is chargeable for guests. It costs £17 (20 €) per night. On the other hand, guests with reduced mobility can park there free of charge.
Good news for electric car owners: the car park has 20 free charging points. That helps make the parking charge a little easier to swallow.
A free shuttle bus service
The hotel offers a shuttle bus service so you can get quickly to the parks and to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station in under 10 minutes. The shuttle bus takes you there and back every 30 minutes during Disneyland park opening hours. To get back from the parks, head to bus station platform P, in front of the TGV station.
Rooms at the Radisson Blu Disney
If you’re looking for spacious rooms during your Disneyland Paris holiday, you’ll love the Radisson Blu. Even the smallest room in this 4-star hotel offers 30m² of space, and 70m² for the suite with spa access. Ideal rooms for small families and larger families of up to 5.
Spa access included
Whether you book directly on the hotel’s website or through an online booking platform, you’ll enjoy free access to the hotel’s pool and wellness area (see the spa overview below).
Room types available
- Standard rooms – 30m²: sleep 3 people (2 adults and 1 child, or 3 adults). They have a double bed or two twin beds plus a sofa bed. No shower, though: the bathroom has a bath;
- Premium rooms (with or without a golf course view) – 30m²: the same size as the standard room, the premium room comes with better amenities (a Nespresso coffee machine) and a few welcome extras such as slippers and bathrobes;
- Family rooms – 35m²: this room mainly offers bedding and sleeping arrangements suited to families;
- Accessible suites: rather strangely, only a few suites are adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
- Junior Suites – 60m²: as well as the stunning view over the 27-hole Golf Paris Val d’Europe, the Junior Suite offers a king-size bed, separate living and sleeping areas, a bathroom with both shower and bath, plus all the little touches of the premium rooms;
- Suites – 70m²: they offer 10m² more than the Junior Suite and are only 30% more expensive than the Premium room;
- The Presidential Suite – 90m²: located on the hotel’s top floor, this suite is the most spacious and best-equipped of all the rooms at the Radisson Blu.
Note that check-out, at 12pm, is fairly late for a hotel in Marne-la-Vallée. Handy if you want to spend the morning at Disney.
Dining at the Radisson Blu Marne-la-Vallée
When it comes to food, the hotel has everything covered so you don’t have to leave (although I strongly recommend eating at a themed restaurant in Disney Village or at a Disney hotel). From breakfast to dinner, by way of pre-dinner drinks, the Radisson offers a dining experience for every food lover:
Breakfast
A day full of excitement in the Disney parks has to start with a balanced and varied breakfast (even a gluten-free one). That’s exactly what the breakfast buffet at the hotel’s La Verrière restaurant offers.
- Breakfast at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Paris Marne-la-Vallée costs £22 (25 €) for adults and £10.88 (€12.50) for children aged 6 to 8
- Breakfast is free for children under 5
- In-room breakfast is available (at an extra charge)
In our view, the breakfast is a little pricey, especially compared with the one you could have at the new Rosalie restaurant in Disney Village (£16 (18 €) for the gourmet breakfast). Note, however, that breakfast at the Radisson is cheaper if you book it at the same time as your room (about £13 (15 €)).
Le Pamplemousse: the hotel restaurant
It’s hard to find precise information about the Radisson Blu’s restaurant. Even its name isn’t clearly displayed on the hotel’s website. The restaurant menu? Same again. In short, if you dig a little, you come across Le Pamplemousse’s rather unflattering profile on Tripadvisor.
The result: a restaurant rated 3/5, with a few reviews that don’t exactly make you want to eat there. The problem is that there are no other options near the hotel. Goma Osake, one of the best restaurants in Magny-le-Hongre, is 2.7 kilometres from the Radisson, so you can only get there by car.
Once again, if you can, choose dinner at a restaurant in Disney Village or at a Disney hotel. I personally recommend the Downtown Restaurant, one of the best buffets at Disneyland Paris, at the Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel.
The Radisson’s spa and wellness area
Activities and entertainment for children are clearly not the Radisson’s strong point! Apart from the small outdoor playground, you’ll have to find other ways to keep your children busy indoors (if they still have any energy left in the evening).
Parents are much better catered for, with access to the spa and the fitness area.
Our quick review of the Radisson Blu Marne-la-Vallée
Location: 3.5 / 5
Yes, the Radisson’s location is still a real advantage compared with other accommodation further from the parks. Set within the Disney golf course, this 4-star hotel is surrounded by greenery in an incredibly peaceful setting. However, the hotel is a little isolated, particularly when it comes to nearby restaurants. The upshot: you’ll need to take a shuttle bus, your car or an Uber to eat out in the evening. Another downside: the car park, charged at £17 (20 €) a night! OK, it stops people “squatting” in the car park, but free or refunded parking for guests would have been fair.
Rooms: 3.5/5
The first thing we love about the rooms is the “late check-out”! You can leave your room at midday, whereas check-out at the Disney hotels is at 10am! Despite plenty of positive reviews about the cleanliness of the rooms, the hotel seems to be very noisy. The decor and furniture also seem to be ageing badly. A shame…
Dining:
While the breakfast buffet seems to suit most people, we find its price a little high compared with other hotels in Marne-la-Vallée. As for the hotel restaurant (rated 3/5), don’t expect miracles. Think of it as a fallback option in case you can’t or don’t want to go out to eat elsewhere.
Activities: 1 / 5
If on-site activities and entertainment are a “must” for you, look elsewhere. The Radisson Blu is a long, long way behind the leisure facilities offered by the Fabulous group’s hotels (Explorers, Grand Magic Hotel…).
Our verdict
Price is undoubtedly the real strength of the Radisson Blu Hotel Paris, Marne-la-Vallée. Very well located, it offers more than acceptable value for money for anyone who isn’t a light sleeper! A good choice if you’re looking for cheap accommodation near Disney. But don’t expect much more than that!
