This modern construction was built in the Haussmannien style of architecture that dominates in most of Paris. There's a massive shopping center directly across the street from the property and Disneyland is a 10-minute shuttle ride away. The 152 rooms here are plain, though reportedly comfortable, and it's considered a solid budget alternative to the pricier hotels inside Disneyland Paris.
Scene
Grand but slightly sterile and popular with Disneyland-goers on a budget
The hotel is located on a large commercial square, directly across the street from the Val d’Europe shopping center. Its large, relatively elegant lobby has marble-tile floors and beige leather armchairs, and looks over a small interior courtyard garden. The Elysee's sleek yet simple furnishings would give it the feel of a business hotel were it not for the many families who choose this property as a budget alternative to the more expensive options inside Disneyland Paris.
Location
In the commercial hub of Marne-la-Vallée, directly across the street from the shopping center
The hotel is ideally situated both for taking advantage of the town’s shopping district and for easy trips to Disneyland Paris. It sits on a large square that faces a luxury shopping center with over 100 chain stores. The Val d’Europe RER station is directly across from the hotel; regional trains to Paris run regularly and take about 45 minutes. A free shuttle runs from the hotel to Disneyland and back and takes around 10 minutes.
Rooms
Plain but comfortable, with laminate furniture and sparse decor
The no-frills rooms here are basic, but most find them comfortable enough. Beds may be hard for some tastes. All rooms have wall-to-wall red carpeting and blond wood laminate fittings and furniture, and are decorated with black-and-white photographic prints of Paris. Each room has air-conditioning and a desktop flat-screen TV. Guests have noted that Wi-Fi in the rooms is adequate for checking email, but not fast enough for streaming. Bathrooms are basic but modern and have tubs and hand-held shower hoses.
Features
Restaurant, lounge/bar, and free shuttle to Disneyland
The Elysee serves a buffet-style breakfast in a plain, comfortable area near the lobby. Breakfast is free for children but pricey for adults, but there are cafes, bakeries, and a supermarket nearby. Lunch is available albeit at limited hours; dinner is served only to groups of more than 15 people and with one week’s notice. A free shuttle links the hotel to Disneyland Paris.
