A nice hotel that covered all the bases. Didn’t get a chance to visit the pool though it looked fun. Breakfast was fine – nothing special. In the evening you could get good pizza to take to your room which was a very welcome alternative to some of the ghastly restaurants at Disney Village. The family sized rooms easily fitted all of us, and considering that this hotel is more of a budget option than the other Disney Hotels we were pleased with our stay. Took a 5 min drive to get to the Disneyland car park, and we received free parking thanks to our stay at the Explorers. Overall a very nice stay, though we prefer the Holiday Inn (now the Vienna International Magic Circus).

Nice hotel although it felt cavernous at times. This meant a lot of people were able to stay and meant that it was crowded on evenings when the park closed early. The kids play area was good but wasn’t staffed and this made it look very dangerous at times. The pool on the other hands is great, they just need to turn the heater up a bit.

Breakfast was good but very busy as was the queue for the bus most of the time. Some nice themeing touches although this didn’t carry through the whole hotel. There is plenty of food option during peak season but we noticed some were closed in the quieter months. The restaurant was very expensive for what you actually got.

A nice hotel but, as I often find with Thomas Cook, more expensive than anyone else for what you actually get.

Brill hotel. Me and my family stayed there three times and were staying there again because we enjoyed it so much. Pool was great, loved the new pirate water ship. Rooms always clean, the worst thing was the waiting line for the buses.

PS: This hotel is great for families with young children lots of activities for young and old.

Rating: 9/10

Brill hotel. Me and my family stayed in this hotel on our first and second visits to Disney. Basic rooms but they were always clean and tidy. Swimming pool was great, especially the slides. The only bad thing is that there is always a massive queue for the buses.

Loved it 9/10

A very good alternative to the Disney hotels, good for longer stays, breakfast can be a bit of a push and shove and there is usually a big queue for the bus, but it’s a nice hotel. The swimming pool has improved for the second slide (but it doesn’t have a life guard often)

Great hotel. I was there this summer for the French national holiday (July 14th), and I loved it so much I’m going back there for New Year’s Eve !

The hotel is everyhting you could expect for this price range : the rooms are spacious and clean, there’s a (light) theme to the entire resort, the swimming pool (and the 2 slides !!!!) is pure fun, though a bit small, and the breakfast is OK.

I can’t wait to be back there ! 9/10
