Meinungen DISNEYLAND HOTEL Anaheim - Disneyland

Been going here to the park since I was a kid and even with living out of state now across the country I still prefer Disneyland in California. Recently stayed at the new Disneyland hotel Villas for 1st time bringing our kids 1st time for them and love it but please build a people mover or atleast have the monorail go to and from the Disneyland hotel villas ???? after walking that all week it was brutal. Especially with young children and a handicapped person please do something better to accommodate your guests that spend good money to transport them better to and from the disneyland hotel and the parks. I will choose different accommodations next time.

The beds had lost their support, they were too squishy and uncomfortable.

Our stay was nice. It is a high cost for the standard hotel room you receive. But the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and help how they can. I’m glad o can say I’ve stayed on property at Disneyland California, but I had hoped for more of a themed room versus basic with just a few elements that are easily missed. The main pools are great and the slides are fun. It wasn’t overly crowded while we were there, which was surprising as there were clearly dance competitions going on during our stay.
The food options are great but pricey. I enjoy how there’s character dining right at the hotel. I recommend going right at opening since it was very low crowds so we could interact with the characters more than other places that are full.
Overall a nice hotel and I would stay there again, but I would go in with the expectation of a basic hotel at Disney prices.

Great hotel. My daughter loves the pool. Had to convince my daughter to get out of the pool yesterday to go back to disneyland...

everything is good
i have had an amazing time here

Just like visiting. Love the atmosphere and Tangeroa Terrace.

It is not worth the money, I paid 567 per night and the room is just average, the sink smells like old piping, carpet, walls, and furniture is outdated. Hallways are 6 ft tall. Walls are paper thin, like you can literally hear the other guess using the toilet for the #2. I seen people pay the hotel parking which is 30$ and they would act like guests to enter 30 minutes early, but the park won’t open until 8. The pool water is salty which is why many don’t last long in it will make your skin ashy.
FYI!!!! If you go early Don’t let the bell man take your suit case until you have taken everything to go to the park, because your room won’t be ready until 12-3pm you will end up wasting money on things you already have. And they would charge your card 250$ after you are check incase of damages. And don’t tip, they would automatically charge you a gratitude fee for everything. And there is no breakfast available, only the goofy kitchen but get ready to pay 267$ for 2 adults and 2 children, the other restaurant next to the pool is so gross all they do is add a pink flowers to your breakfast and they would charge you 21$ per plate. And no one is friendly like they promote only the front desk is!

Love the turndown room service didn't expect that was great to have! Close to downtown Disney and both parks with a short walk.

Honestly, I just don't get the hype and wish we had stayed at a much cheaper and closer hotel on the other side of Downtown Disney.

Our room was in extremely poor condition. We had a corner room and the ac ducts were SOO loud. 24/7 they were rattling in the main room and bathroom. For a DVC price point, the Value rooms at WDW are much nicer and brighter than this was. Sure the headboard sings, but that's where the fun ends. The 30 minutes early entry is a joke. That shouldn't be the single perk and it's such a long walk when they put you in the very last building that you're already exhausted before the day began. It was almost 1 mile to go from our room in the Frontier building to Soarin'. I'd rather pay less and lose 30 minutes to be nearly right outside the gates. The parks were also empty during peak spring break until about 11am every day so it's not that big of a jump on your days rides.

All of the cast members we interacted with were beyond nice and very helpful.

Worth every penny for the location, early park access and service.

Rooms and service were good. I was in shock about the zero option of watching Disney movies in the room. You would think you could watch any Disney movie of your choice in Disneyland hotel.

Can't beat the convenience of staying here while visiting Disneyland. Downtown Disney and the monorail are steps away, and it takes you directly into Tomorrowland. Awesome pool on site, kept up as nice as the park. The rooms are a little dated but still clean and maintained.

Had so much fun today...

Cool Hotel. The Fantasy Tower at Disneyland Hotel. We loved staying in the Fantasy Tower. Although I didn't want this Tower. ????

The rooms are extremely dated. Flickering lamps, drawers that never close, paper walls allowing to hear every conversation of our neighbors and a refrigerator that needed replacement 3 times. This was an unacceptable amount for errors for the cost being merely for walkable access to massive lines an the entrances.

Nice place with lots of Disney historical things to look at and read about.

Disappointing Stay Despite the Promise of Convenience

Date of Stay: 3/31/24

I recently stayed at this hotel, hoping to enjoy its prime location and exclusive perks. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations.

Here's a breakdown of my experience for those considering this hotel:

Pros:

Magic Morning Access: The main advertised benefit is early park access.

Cons:

Comparative Location: Despite its proximity to the parks, both the Marriott Courtyard and Fairfield are closer, offering potentially better convenience.

Reduced Magic Morning Value: The Magic Morning access has been reduced to 30 minutes, which is insufficient to significantly benefit from it. Previously, the one-hour early access provided a tangible advantage.

Misleading Information about Amenities: The hotel advertised a specific reopening date for their pool and slides, which influenced our booking decision. Upon arrival, we were informed that the reopening date was uncertain, and the amenities remained closed throughout our stay.

Inadequate Solutions for Closed Amenities: The hotel offered access to pools at nearby Pixar Place or Grand Californian hotels as a remedy. However, the inconvenience of walking to these facilities made this option less appealing.

WiFi Issues: We experienced unreliable WiFi service in our room on the 10th floor, adding to our frustrations.

Final Thoughts:
Given these issues, particularly the misleading information about the pool and slides, as well as the diminished value of Magic Morning access, my overall experience was poor. I regret to say I cannot recommend this hotel to future guests seeking a seamless and enjoyable stay near the parks.

The Disneyland hotel was amazing! They really thought about the details to make our stay comfortable.

As a Magic Keyholder and a Disney shareholder, I fully understand the magic behind everything Disney tries. The Disneyland hotel is probably so old the magic left and no one informed the company.

I've stayed on multiple properties and for the money, I expected more. When I stayed at the California Grand I felt like I got my monies worth and it's the most expensive Disney property. The Disneyland hotel is #2 in price but feels like it should be competing with the hotels just off property.

The room was basic for a premium view room. Premium is not the room quality, just the view and it was facing the pool, not the park.

Beds were okay but Ive had better nights sleep across the street at the Hilton, Castle Inn, and Hyatt House.

I asked for a late check out and got "sorry, not with that room type" which seemed to be a theme. I asked several questions and many of the answers were "not with that room" making it ever so clear, that while you paid 3x more on a room, you were still considered lower class here. "Can I upgrade to club level?" Not with my room type. Let's be clear - I was paying over $600 a night for the room.

Bathroom ceiling had broken tiles on the roof, water pressure was little more than a trickle and temperature varied by the minute. Comparing this to my stays in the area, I would expect the price to be significantly less.

There is the easy access to Downtown Disney but it shares security with the main parking lots so your extra 30 minutes in the park is really 15 if you make it down by 6:45am. The walk though is pretty far compared to the hotels across the street unless you wait for the monorail which doesn't seem to start until 7:20.

The pool and restaurants here are nice but seating is very limited.

All in all, if you don't mind overpaying to feel poor at a high end hotel, then I would say you found your place. However, for 1/3 the cost, I would highly recommend staying at a property across the street. Many of the like Courtyard have pools and slides comparable to Disneyland Hotel.

Disneyland is very awesome.

Hotel staff was wonderful. Our experience was fantastic

Great experience and quality in all aspects.... Would love to visit more often.

Very nicely done rooms, and comfy after a day or 3 of walking

Just awesome, super friendly staff and perfect location for early park access. Very much enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful hotel with such thoughtful touches from the designers. Loved the grounds and how spacious everything was. Ended up in a room that was bigger than usual, and we were so comfortable. The winter months meant no swimming so we were unable to check that out but thats okay. Its not super close to the park as you have to walk the entire distance of downtown disney in order to get to the gates, be prepared for that.
