Hôtel l'Elysée Val d'Europe is a 4-star hotel at 7 Cours du Danube in Serris, in the town centre of Val d'Europe, the same street as the shopping centre. Its 4-star rating comes from ATOUT France, the French tourism agency. It is a good choice for travellers who want a conventional hotel rather than a themed one, with shops, restaurants and the RER A station on the doorstep. The parks are one stop on the RER A away, and central Paris takes around 40 minutes, so it works for visitors who plan to divide time between Disneyland Paris and the capital. It is also well placed for Sea Life Paris and the Vallée Village outlets. Rates are usually lower than at the Disney hotels, especially outside school holidays.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits in the middle of the Val d'Europe district, so almost everything you need is within a short walk, including supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and the shopping centre. The RER A station is close, and the ride to Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy, beside the parks, takes just a few minutes. Check the walking route to the station when you book, and confirm whether the hotel offers any park shuttle service, as it may not.
The rooms and facilities
Expect a comfortable, conventional 4-star hotel with standard and larger family rooms. It is not themed, so it feels calmer and more adult than the Disney hotels, and there is a normal city-style choice of restaurants nearby. Details such as breakfast, parking and room layouts vary, so read the booking page for the rate you choose, and look at recent guest reviews for the latest picture of standards.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits couples, travellers who want a lower price than the on-resort hotels, and families who prefer flexibility to a themed stay. It is less suited to guests who want early entry benefits or a walk to the park gates. The town is quiet in the evening, and the shopping centre is the main attraction, so plan dinner before late.
If you plan a Christmas visit, book early, as the area fills up on festive weekends. Because Val d'Europe is a few minutes from the parks, it is also a convenient base for a one-night stay before an early flight.
