Premiere Classe Marne La Vallee - Torcy

For a budget hotel, it gives you what it promises: safety, basic comforts, A/C, WiFi, and a good location. We felt safe and comfortable, and there was always a security guard on site. The room was cleaner than the big budget Disneyland hotels nearby. It's a comfortable, simple place for visiting Disneyland Paris, with laid-back, helpful reception staff. The reception is in the building across from the hotel, and they're relaxed and helpful with requests like towels or toilet paper if there's a mix-up. Don't expect luxury or frills. The pillows could use an update, and bring earbuds: families excited for Disney get up early and run around, though that's true of hotels in the area. We had a comfortable stay, despite seeing a lot of negative reviews. Also, the speed bump at the entrance is very high, so drive in slowly.

We knew it was cheap, so the small room and hard bed weren't much of a surprise. The room smelled of smoke, but a very friendly young man moved us to another one right away. Breakfast at Campanile across the road, using a voucher, was fine, though one bossy woman seemed to want to direct everyone. Decent enough for a stopover.

The smell was the worst part. It reeked of mould and rot, and the place itself was in a very disappointing state compared with the nice pictures on Booking.com. I arrived around 9 p.m. and stayed because it was too late to find somewhere else. I still slept there, but in the morning I couldn't wait to get out. I understand it's a budget hotel, but this was too much on the negative side.

There are no luxuries here, just a bed, a small TV, and a tiny bathroom. The room was like a ship's cabin, very small but comfortable enough. The bed was soft and the shower adequate, so it offers decent value for a short stay. There's also a decent breakfast buffet, a vending machine for snacks and drinks, and plenty of parking, including three disabled bays. Our room smelled strongly of tobacco. We had to leave early because my partner was sick, and the staff didn't offer any money back, including the extra €150 we paid but couldn't use. They were nice, though. I'd return only as a last resort.
