Children can sleep in single or bunk beds. The largest room, which accommodates up to 10 people, even includes two bathrooms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adapted rooms (up to four people)<\/strong>: These rooms are close to all hotel services and reception and have been designed for people with reduced mobility. They feature double beds, a sofa and an adapted bathroom.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\"><strong>Executive rooms (for two people)<\/strong>: These rooms are designed for couples and business travellers.

First of all, breakfast is <strong>included with all reservations<\/strong>. This is a huge plus, especially for large families, and it is something that should not be overlooked.

If you find yourself nostalgic for the ambience of a school cafeteria, you are sure to be enchanted! The main dining room can be very noisy, especially when it&#8217;s busy. <strong>I recommend taking your own tray and eating outside near the atoll<\/strong>.

There&#8217;s something for everyone on the menu, which includes a mixed platter of appetisers, runny Camembert, grilled rib-eye steak and, of course, the Pirate&#8217;s Cheeseburger. However, it should be noted that the prices are quite high for a restaurant in a three-star hotel. According to the reviews on Tripadvisor, opinions are mixed on the quality of the food and service.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"park\"><strong>Opening hours<\/strong>: 6 pm to 10 pm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price<\/strong>: \u20ac\u20ac &#8211; \u20ac\u20ac\u20ac<\/li>\n<li><strong>TripAdvisor rating<\/strong>: 4\/5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Plantation : all-you-can-eat Buffet Restaurant<\/h3>\n<p>The restaurant&#8217;s all-you-can-eat buffet is sure to delight both big eaters and foodies who like to try everything.<\/p>\n<p>Buffets always offer a wide selection of starters, main courses with fish and meat, as well as vegetables, cheeses, and, of course, desserts. The price for the all-you-can-eat buffet is \u20ac28 per adult and \u20ac14 per child.

Whether you&#8217;re after a quick drink after dinner or a beer to accompany your aperitif, the Trader&#8217;s Bar offers a wide variety of reasonably priced beverages.

Few hotels in the Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e area can boast such a well-themed indoor water park. Disney&#8217;s Davy Crockett Ranch and the Village Nature certainly have enormous pools, but they&#8217;re clearly not in the same league.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Aqualagon and its pirate ship are so popular that they <strong>regularly fill up<\/strong>. You shouldn&#8217;t be someone who is easily offended by loud noises! The issue of overcrowding also makes it challenging to arrange for young children to be in the same place as older children. With no separate area for younger children, everyone&#8217;s in the same boat!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, if your room is close to the water park, you&#8217;ll have to deal with constant comings and goings in the hallway, plus noise from the park. In short, there are advantages, but also some disadvantages.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile notre-conseil is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:10%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/david_touschezmickey.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7305\" style=\"width:82px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column conseil is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<p><strong>Beware of annual maintenance!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Warning!

First, there&#8217;s the Seven Seas Wreck, located near the Aqualagon. This is a convenient play area for parents who want to enjoy a drink at the bar while keeping an eye on their children. Another favourite with young explorers is Scally Wagg&#8217;s Jungle Adventure, an indoor play area with a slide, ball pit and obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Outdoors, little ones can play on a lifelike pirate ship. There is also Pirate Island, a slightly larger children&#8217;s play area with the tallest structure standing at seven metres high.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explorers Hotel Reviews<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pros \ud83d\ude0d <\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A family-friendly hotel (79% positive reviews<\/strong>): The Explorers Hotel, located in close proximity to Disneyland Paris, is particularly renowned for its family-friendly features and numerous benefits.

It is highly regarded for its varied slides and water features, which provide entertainment for children and a relaxing and fun time for the whole family.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\"><strong>Location and venue (70% positive reviews)<\/strong>: Reviews of the location of the Explorers Hotel focus primarily on its ideal proximity to Disneyland Paris and the efficiency of its complimentary shuttle service, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for guests visiting the park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cons \ud83d\udc4e<\/h3>\n<p>I analysed and summarised over 7,000 reviews written by guests of the hotel. The main sources of criticism about this establishment are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The bathroom (75% negative reviews)<\/strong>: Several travellers reported poor ventilation, which can lead to dampness or mould. This can be a particular drawback for longer stays. Overall, criticism focused on the bathroom&#8217;s age, cleanliness and equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The rooms (69% negative reviews)<\/strong>: There were many and varied reviews of the rooms. The main reasons for dissatisfaction were cleanliness, general condition, soundproofing and equipment. Rooms were often described as outdated and in need of renovation. Lack of cleanliness was also a recurring criticism. Another weak point was the soundproofing in the rooms. Guests complained about easily hearing noise from neighbouring rooms, the hallway, or even outside, which affected their sleep quality.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\"><strong>Air conditioning received 89% negative reviews<\/strong>. Many guests were disappointed to discover that family rooms did not have air conditioning. Only suites have it. This is a problem in both winter and summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tripadvisor &amp; Google Rating<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a summary of the guest ratings for this property:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google rating: 3.8\/5 (7,119 reviews*)<\/li>\n<li>Tripadvisor rating: 3.6\/5 (6,500 reviews)<\/li>\n<li>ZenHotels rating: 3.5\/5 on the official website (6,282 reviews).<\/li>\n<li>Average rating: 3.7\/5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">Notre avis en bref sur l\u2019Explorers Hotel&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top card-custom notre-avis has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\" id=\"avis\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Mike-Wazowski-Gloss_01_Top-View-150x150.png\" alt=\"Notre avis\" class=\"wp-image-772 size-thumbnail\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">My review<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>Location : 4 \/ 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">It&#8217;s difficult to find a partner hotel that&#8217;s closer to the Disneyland Paris resort than this one! Thanks to the free shuttle, getting to the Explorers Hotel from the TGV train station is very simple and relatively quick. However, you shouldn&#8217;t be afraid of crowds, given how many people use the shuttle!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>Rooms : 2 \/ 5&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">This is the hotel&#8217;s biggest downside! People do not all approve of the family rooms, especially when it comes to cleanliness and comfort. We experienced this first-hand during our stay in January 2023. It was a disaster. My advice would be that if you ever find yourself in an unsuitable room, don&#8217;t hesitate to complain to reception and ask for a cleaner and\/or quieter room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>Food : 2.5 \/ 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The former Algonquin&#8217;s Explorer Hotel is all about quantity, not quality. While the pizzeria has received fairly good reviews, the standard of the other dining options remains disappointing. Although breakfast is complimentary, the quality and variety of the buffet does not live up to the hotel&#8217;s reputation. In fact, charging extra for an English breakfast is borderline unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>Activities : 5 \/ 5&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The range of activities on offer at this establishment is astounding. You&#8217;ll never be bored here! No other hotel near Disneyland Paris can compete in this respect!<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>What I really think about the Explorers Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Yes, the Explorers Hotel is popular with pirates and children alike! However, it&#8217;s best avoided if you&#8217;re travelling without children. If you&#8217;re looking for somewhere more upscale and quiet, and you want to be near Disney, I highly recommend the Radisson Blu Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e. You&#8217;ll get significantly better quality accommodation for a similar price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where and when can I take the free shuttle bus to Disneyland?<\/h3>\n<p>Keolis shuttles run daily from 07:00 to 23:00, departing on average every 15 minutes for Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e Chessy train station and the hotel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the pool opening hours at the Explorer Hotel?<\/h3>\n<p>The Aquapark and pool at the Algonquin are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., but the pool closes twice a day for disinfection: from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I walk to Disney parks from the Explorers Hotel ?<\/h3>\n<p>It takes around <strong>30min <\/strong>to get to the Chessy Train station and Disney Village entrance. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you get extra magic time at Explorers Hotel?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, only guests staying in a Disneyland Paris hotel (or Villages Nature) can benefit from Extra Magic Time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1384,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1382","post_type_hotel","type-post_type_hotel","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hotels-near-disneyland-paris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_type_hotel\/1382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_type_hotel"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post_type_hotel"}],"version-history":[{"count":41,"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_type_hotel\/1382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1461,"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_type_hotel\/1382\/revisions\/1461"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
