quick 3 night break in July

[Cdaniels1987]

Its my fiancee bday july 13th and also a year since we got engaged in dlp so i want to take her back for a quick 3 night break, i have already found the eurostar leaving on 9th a t 6:50 and coming back on 12th i have found this for £132 for both of us which i find very reasonable we already have annual passes so only need hotel now, where is best to book for best deal? Obviously i will be staying offsite but dont really want to spend more than £300 however cheapest i have found so far is £380 for magic circus which seems kinda ridic considering i only paid 400 for 5 nights in kyriad in july last year!!

Any help would be appreciated

I was shocked when I saw that price! I just checked and that is a no cancel & no changes price... also no breakfast included - so good if you don't mind both of those.

Thanks for the replies, i never thought of trying a hotel in val d'europe, would this be worth considering? Are they much further away than the offsite hotels?

the Ibis is actually closer in transfer time (on the very frequent RER trains) than all the onsite hotels except the HNY and the DLH . Its located in a courtyard, one side of which is one of the entrances to the train station at val d'Europe. Its very quiet though, you don't hear any vehicles/trains (we've stayed at the Etap right next door).

Could you stall it until the 20th and take advantage of the 50% flash sale?

 

[Cdaniels1987]

Well ive checked for the dates included in the flash sale and its still coming up at 500 plus, i am actually tempted by the ibis and stop for 4 nights instead!

sounds like a plan .

We stayed in the residhome last August which is right next door to the ibis. It was really quick and easy taking the Rer to the parks and when you got off the train you were far nearer to the park than any of the shuttle buses get. . There are two exits to the train station though so you need to be careful to make sure you use the right one. (Can't remember which one you need though so hopefully someone else will be along soon to tell you. )

its easy - when you get off the RER at val d'europe, look to your right and go up the steps there, this is the exit which takes you to the Ibis courtyard.

 

[Cdaniels1987]

I cant decide between the Ibis or the Adagio Access Torcy apartments, the only thing that concerns me about both of them is that they are only 2*, I dont want them to be dingy and horrible!

I have recently stayed in the Ibis in Amsterdam city centre and that was really nice for the price, however that one was 3*

I'm not usually a fan of tripadvisor, but there are a fair few guests photos of the Ibis val d'europe rooms on there -

[Cdaniels1987]

^^yeah thanks I have had a look, I mean it doesn't look too bad, I think I am just a little worried because we are used to the Dream Castle as thats where we usually stay and thats where I took her last year to get engaged and I dont want this to be too much of a downgrade!

I am really not trying to sound like a snob just want to make her bday special!

 

[DLPdaft]

I do understand - for example I'm quite happy to go small, cheap and cheerful for a first night, but I personally wouldn't much enjoy coming back to an Etap or a Premier Classe every night (although I totally understand that it gives you the opportunity to do Disney in a more affordable way).

How about the L'Elysee then?

its at the main entrance to the train station at val d'europe, and has a free shuttle bus to and from DLP.

eta - its £254 total for your 3 nights on travelrepublic.

 

[Cdaniels1987]

Ah thats a possibility, I have just had a look on Travelrepublic and the Dream Castle is showing up at £266.00 for the 3 nights!?!? is that right? that is so much cheaper than everywhere else, every other website I have checked, have had prices of at least £350 for Dream Castle and Magic Circus!!

Now the only problem is because I have now booked eurostar, hotel in London night before and trains down to London, I cant pay for the hotel till I get paid next which isn't till 25th May!!! ahhhh! I bet the price wont stay at £266!

 

[Cdaniels1987]

Ah ignore that when I click on it, it goes to the next page and says £442!!

 

[Cdaniels1987]

I dont understand why the price goes up when I click on the Dream Castle as it doesn't for any of the other hotels, I take it, its a pricing error on the website!
