I'm at minute 15, at the part with the door, and I'm glad that you've shown that. As a solo female traveler myself I wouldnt feel comfortable in a room (that people from the parking lot can see) with a door that is essentially not working properly and looks like it's been broken several times before :( Edit: I'm continuing now, and wow; if even one light and switch aren't working, and the bed is so uncomfortable that you haven't slept well - then they don't do the job, I have to say! Again, I'm glad that you're showing these things and I understand you don't want to be too negative, but I also wouldnt downplay this kind of thing, not even at a "affordable" accommodation tbh.
Yeah, personally - a not so comfortable bed I can deal with. As you said, the main issue really only was the door and how dated the whole room/apartment felt overall. The "official" photos online make it look SO much better! I've had a look at other reviews since and most seem to have a similar experience to me. I hope this video at least gives a better, more accurate representation of the state of the hotel rooms. It's definitely the worst Disney partner hotel I've tried! x
I would highly recommend this hotel. I stayed here 3 times in 2019, twice with my daughter and grandson and then with my son and daughter. Unlike you we couldn't fault it. The reception smelt lovely when we entered it on all occasions. I for one can't wait to go back there, even if not visiting Disney.
"For the price I can't complain" Sam! Yes you can! 😂 No matter how cheap a hotel is it should at least have a secure door! Thank you for the review, personally I think I would avoid this one and spring a little extra for B&B Hotel if I'm doing a budget trip.
Hi, Sam! Been following your channel for a while now and just wanted to say thanks so much for the incredibly informative videos! Your channel is one of my favs and is the best source for anything Disneyland Paris
Thanks so much for this. The reception and facilities and location all looked great but when you got to the room I felt so uneasy! The front door looked as if it had been jemmied before! And such a thin door to the outside. That’s 2 red flags. Then the bed and pillows were not comfy even for exhausted Disney sleep (red flags again)! After that I was out and just decided to cancel my reservation here. As a female solo traveller I decided it’s not for me! Thanks again for filming and for your honest review of your experience.
Hello Sam! Once again thank you for the information, it makes it easier for us to choose, especially coming from abroad. That room is so claustrophobic, and my anxiety levels would be high thinking of the door knob and no burglar bars on the window.... I'm really sorry you had to stay there. keep well, greetings from Cape Town
Oh my god that apartment made me feel sad, I don’t know how to explain it! I would definitely pick B&B if I were on a budget, it’s got everything you need, it’s still relatively new and got much better vibes, like you said! I loved how you were trying to be as nice as possible in the review!
Thanks Chiara! I didn't really want to complain as it was fine for the few days I stayed there, but defo not somewhere I'd rush to stay again. Yeah, I agree - the B&B is much better x
I really appreciate your honest opinion! The dodgy door would also worry me too, so you’re not alone there. The only positives I can see, are the ones you pointed out, potentially good for families, the convenience of an apartment type room can be really handy with kids and overall cut some costs…. BUT I’d definitely be checking the door
We have stayed there once and liked it a lot! Not the hotel itself perse, but the location next to Val ' d Europe and nice restaurants ( a great tapas place!) and a little bakery. Walking distance to the parks. Not too fancy but back then (2017) in our opinion great value for money.
Great video Sam, we actually stayed there back in 2009 for our first ever trip to DLP. On check in I’m not sure why but the guy on the front desk upgraded us (maybe because I was wearing my New Zealand sweatshirt and he knew we had travelled a long way.) haha. Looking at your room I am grateful now we were. It was cheap but clean and spacious. as we spent all day in the parks. We got the free bus each day but if we had known we could of walked to and from the parks we might of given that option a try. xx
Thanks for the tour, i'm really interested in offsite hotels, i've only ever stayed onsite or done it as a day trip from Paris. We're just thinking about planning our next trip so somewhere a bit more budget would be good, but i don't think i'd be tempted by this one!
Must say another great vlog Sam. Information very good. I am surprised that Disney is apparently approving this hotel. I can see it could make the trip more affordable but it would appear that the Disney standards are not being met. Do you agree ?
Hi! Cool video... I have a question, so when we book to stay in this hotel do I have to book extra tickets for Disneyland or is the ticket included? We have never been and planing to go with kids but on the budget is not so easy 🙃😉 Thank you
I stayed in an adagio apartment when I visited Strasbourg, and I have to say, that one was nicer than this. But yeah, you could use them as temporary flats I think, so it does make sense that you can receive mail. Since you're practically on your own, our room wasn't cleaned either (only before we arrived and after we left of course), and this was way before COVID. We didn't mind, I don't need my room cleaned daily anyway. But yeah, if you ever want to visit Strasbourg, the adagio there was quite nice. But staying in Val d'Europe is always nice, I love the area and the mall. The Ibis and Ibis Budget in Val d'Europe are worth a visit, they should be equally cheap but a better standard.
Try the Adagio HiPark Serris one, we had a one bedroom apartment and it was fine- a bit dated and slightly worn out round the edges but plenty of space and the location is fab.
Sam!! thanks so much for sharing this video I was especially interested in the walk from Val d'EU - I've been researching it for a while on google maps - Could you please film the walk (even if you post it sped up 😆?) or maybe post the route somehow...I notice that DLP have been building a new road for a while that would make it even easier/quicker to the parks and wondered if they were now finished and if that was the route you took?
Thank you Sam for sharing this my child with be straight out the door with that door and the bedroom is no no for me everyone can look in when you are not there and the room is way to small for me the other room is OK I would have to stay somewhere better.
Thanks for showing the hotel Sam , I would have changed the room straight away if I couldn't get in , I think the B&B hotel is much better , but I am staying in the Campanille hotel in May have you done a tour of those rooms ? Also can I ask you if there is a Disney staycation cruise this project year ? Great video as always 😊
Thanks Diane ☺️ it was quite late when I checked in, and from what I’ve seen on videos and online, most rooms look the same and have very mediocre - bad reviews 😕 apart from the door, I didn’t have much of an issue with the rest of the room and thought it’s fine to handle for a couple of nights. I’d have défo changed if I was there for a longer stay! I haven’t done a Campanille hotel tour video yet, though remember staying there for one night a few years ago and it was pretty good. Hoping to stay there properly on a future trip. Regarding Disney staycation cruises, I’m not sure - don’t think anything’s been announced yet xx
Yeah think that’s the one next door that isn’t partnered with Disney. I actually walked past that one and just from the outside, it looked much better than this! X
Love that food ordering machine and the personal wash bags etc….. Great you can walk to and from the park…. Maybe you could say roughly how much the hotels are….from-- top cost. Wow people passing by the bedroom window with no frosting…. Crazy!! You’d think that should be the bathroom in usual layouts. The kitchenette area is nice….. The hotel does look like it needs some TLC to say the least…..!!👍🇬🇧
Woah...I'm going to disney this summer and I literally almost made a reservation at this hotel, but changed my mind last minute and took another one. Thank god 😅
I literally made a reservation here this evening to come in September, my partner doesn’t care where we sleep as it’s just somewhere to lay your head but I can’t even deal with the state of the room so it’s a no for me
Oh no! Honestly the Hipark one is my fave (I think that’s the other Adagio you mentioned, since they rebranded a few years ago) I always confused this one with that one, I like being close and spend about 0 time in the hotel other than sleeping. But haven’t seen the video yet! Will comment again when I have seen it.
Yeah, the other nearby (non Disney partnered) Adagio is I believe what used to be called “Hipark” and I’ve heard good things about that one! I walked past it a couple of times on this trip too, and kept wishing I was in that one instead. I’ll try it on a future trip ☺️
@@Sam4G0d I really recommend the Hipark hotel. It is even a shorter walk to the parks. I agree with you walking to the parks is lovely, probably one of my fave parts. Have you already stayed in the Ibis in val d europe? That´s another one we stay often. It is a bit of a longer walk but I also love walking from there to the parks. Might be just me though haha.
Omg I first thought you were talking about the Hipark hotel since it’s now also called “Adagio” something. But me and my husband have stayed here too and it was honestly our least favorite hotel. We slept in a room on the ground floor and it wasn’t pleasant.
This place seems to have pretty mediocre to negative reviews all around. Normally, I don’t mind a basic hotel for Disney, as I spend most of my time in the parks. But this one felt a little subpar to just basic 😕
Yeah, thank you! :) I had Covid back in January and some of the symptoms lasted quite long, so just wanted to make sure to check things regularly whilst away, just in case. Thankfully all was good throughout the trip and is getting better every day xx
Hello everybody, one question that I have: Do I need a creditcard for DLP? To pay contactless for food, merch or other things. Or is a normal ec card sufficient? Thanks a lot and wish y'all a nice weekend 🌈🍀
I hate that western hotels don't supply soaps and tissues. In Japan they always have shampoo, conditioner, body soap and tissues in the room for guests. That just feels like quality service to me, rather than making the guest bring their own or buy them. (/boomerrant haha)

Glad you had a lovely stay. I also had NO problems with the reception - just the room felt a bit dated x
Glad for you saying this as I've just booked this hotel
"For the price I can't complain" Sam! Yes you can! 😂 No matter how cheap a hotel is it should at least have a secure door! Thank you for the review, personally I think I would avoid this one and spring a little extra for B&B Hotel if I'm doing a budget trip.
Haha true! Defo won't be rushing back to stay there - I've seen a lot of similar reviews online since. B&B is a much better (and safer) option x
I liked Adaggio better, just because it has a bath, a kitchenette...solo I would choose B&B, but with more people I think Adaggio is more convenient.

My second year referring to your videos before my annual Disney trip, thanks for your great videos!

almost 20K you deserve it love from belgium
I know ahhh! Thanks so much Liam xx
Super useful information as always, thanks Sam!
Thanks for watching, Jenny! 🥰
Love all your vids and you look amazing as always sam x
Thank you, Aaron! X
Love how your top matched the tiles in the bathroom 😂😂
I’m going there in November this video has eased my travel anxiety so much
Sam, thank you for the honest hotel review.
Always ☺️
That's a great review, told me everything I needed to know. Well done on the content very interesting and well described. Thanks
I really appreciate your honest opinion! The dodgy door would also worry me too, so you’re not alone there.

Thank you, Andrea! :) Yeah, the location is great and good for bigger groups. The door was really the main problem x
We have stayed there once and liked it a lot! Not the hotel itself perse, but the location next to Val ' d Europe and nice restaurants ( a great tapas place!) and a little bakery. Walking distance to the parks. Not too fancy but back then (2017) in our opinion great value for money.
Agreed, the location is fantastic!

Yeah, there are other similarly-priced options that I'd choose over this :)

I thought this was a video on Hipark now called Adagio. I love that hotel! Never heard of this one though
Yeah think that’s the one next door that isn’t partnered with Disney. I actually walked past that one and just from the outside, it looked much better than this! X
Love that food ordering machine and the personal wash bags etc…..
Great you can walk to and from the park….
Maybe you could say roughly how much the hotels are….from-- top cost.
Wow people passing by the bedroom window with no frosting…. Crazy!!
You’d think that should be the bathroom in usual layouts.
The kitchenette area is nice…..
The hotel does look like it needs some TLC to say the least…..!!👍🇬🇧
we are going to Paris Disneyland in a couple of weeks and we will be staying at Campanile Val De France. I hope it's good 😊
Hi there, great video, is there a toaster in the apartments or just kettle? X
Hi, fab video and great information.
How did you get from the airport to the hotel? What work you say is the best/easiest way?
Thank you xx
Woah...I'm going to disney this summer and I literally almost made a reservation at this hotel, but changed my mind last minute and took another one. Thank god 😅
Haha I hope whichever accommodation you choice instead will be better ☺️
could you do a tour of the other adagio hotel?? Looking to stay at the other one for my up coming disney trip xx
Yes, hoping to stay in the other one on a future trip too, and will of course do a tour :)
I literally made a reservation here this evening to come in September, my partner doesn’t care where we sleep as it’s just somewhere to lay your head but I can’t even deal with the state of the room so it’s a no for me

Oh dear... i booked this hotel, should i be worried? Im going to disneyland paris in december, any tips for stayin at this hotel?
Is there stairs in that hotel ?
Hi ! I saw the finger pulse oximeter on the table, is everything okay for you ?? Thank you so much for the hotel tour. Take care Sam !
Yeah, thank you! :) I had Covid back in January and some of the symptoms lasted quite long, so just wanted to make sure to check things regularly whilst away, just in case. Thankfully all was good throughout the trip and is getting better every day xx
Hello everybody, one question that I have: Do I need a creditcard for DLP? To pay contactless for food, merch or other things. Or is a normal ec card sufficient?
Thanks a lot and wish y'all a nice weekend 🌈🍀
Hi again, is the pool heating at Addagio?
I hate that western hotels don't supply soaps and tissues. In Japan they always have shampoo, conditioner, body soap and tissues in the room for guests. That just feels like quality service to me, rather than making the guest bring their own or buy them. (/boomerrant haha)
There is a place, on every floor, where you can get rid of your garbage bin.😉
I think I will be saying no to this hotel, I won’t feel safe in that room, especially with that door. Think I will stick with on site hotels lol
Haha always safer with Disney x
so that food looked amazing but this hotel looks so run down. what a disapointment. great detailed review though. you are very honest
😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
