Has anyone stayed at the Hipark Serris-Val d'Europe?
What's it like? The prices are so reasonable and the fact its only a 15/20min walk from the Disney Village is really appealing.
However sleeping on a sofa bed for a week is less appealing.
Can anyone provide some feedback on the place as we're thinking of booking there.
Thanks all
Helen
Noone?
Shame, I was hoping to hear back from people who had.
I've stayed there and enjoyed it so much I'm going back in three weeks! The sofa bed is incredibly comfortable, you don't need to worry about that. Only thing is that you're sleeping across from the smaal kitchen. Other than that I highly recommend having breakfast in the hotel, it's delicious and very diverse. Also, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus to the parks. :)
Oh cool. We're hoping to be able to afford a trip to DLRP in September and we're thinking of staying there.
I love your signature by the way, I love Flynn! :D
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just wondering if anyone has stayed here recently? And if so, how did you get to DLP and to Charles de Gulle airport? And what was your thoughts about the hotel?
I might be considering to stay there sometime in the future.
And what is your thoughts on the best way to get to the hotel from CDG?

Good choice :) I've stayed there twice & will be staying a 3rd time in September. Very boring & businessy but clean rooms & hotel and it is the closest hotel in Val d'Europe to the parks. Yes the sofa bed isn't the best but it's OK. I'm going with my daughter so I'm bringing in an airbed for her so I get the sofabed to myself. Also, worth asking whether they have any upgraded rooms available when you check in. I upgraded on check in to a bigger room with two "real" single beds for about Euro30 or 40 /night last time.
Getting to DLP from the hotel you can do the 15 minute walk, or the courtesy bus. 2-3 busses an hour early & late in the day but much less frequent in the middle of the day. If you email the hotel they can send you times (or you can DM me your email address I have a copy from Feb last year I can send you - just can't work out how to attach it here).
Used these guys to go from CDG to Hipark. Nice car & driver spoke English. Would use again.

Thanks for the reply mate. I'm might consider to visit DLP next year so I'm looking around for different hotels. Too bad the official DLP hotels are so expensive. But this hotel looks like it has a fairly reasonable price.
We've looked at the Hipark because people constantly say how good it is, but its always much more expensive that the Adagio apartments, particularly if your staying for 4 or 10 nights (price break).
We've got 10 nights in a one bedroom self catering apartment there this August, cost around £650 and have just booked again for next year.

We have stayed there about 10 times, it's great. Plenty of space and everything you need in the kitchen. The only issue we have had is the loo is off the living room and the bathroom is off the bedroom which causes a bit of irritation in the morning so we are trying the adagio for Halloween.
We normally get the bus to DLP and walk home as the crowds to get on the bus from the park after Dreams are downright scary! Here are the times from our visit at Christmas:
Departs HiPark:
08:50,09:06,09:23,09:30,09:46,09:54,09:57,10:03,10:08,10:36,10:56,11:06,11:20,11:41,12:34,13:33,14:33,15:33,16:33,17:33,18:50,19:23,20:18,21:48
Departs Disneyland:
09:00,09:15,10:15,11:20,12:16,15:00,16:00,17:00,18:00,18:30,18:50,19:10,19:33,19:55,20:30,21:00,21:287,22:00,22:30,23:00,23:30
We normally get the TGV from the airport, shove our luggage in storage then get the bus to Hi Park in the afternoon when the queue aren't as manic
Thanks for the comments everyone :)
Appreciate it. When my trip to DLP is gonna be sometime in the future, Hipark is definitively something to consider.
As it looks now, it's gonna be Hipark or B&B Hotel at DLP. But neither hotel, or dates are set yet. It probably won't happen until next year. Just for fun, I did compare Hipark and Santa Fe, and it was a huge price difference in Hipark's favor.
don't forget your park tickets!

Yeah I know :)
I also did factor those in the price, and even then the price difference is huge.
On the tickets, my plan is to possibly use my shareholders discount on those.
Not sure if it's better to do the offer DLP has on their website like 3 for 2 days, 4 for 3 days etc if they still have those when we go.
But anyway, since I haven't booked anything yet, dreaming is always allowed :D
I know you're flying, but when I booked my Eurostar there was an Expedia click through after the booking & I got my room at HiPark for £40/night inc breakfast :D :D :D ... I tried via the standard expedia site & trivago & it was a genuine discount against best prices I could find elsewhere. So if you get offered a click through after booking travel with whatever web site, worth a look & comparing to prices offered on something like Trivago. Either that, or find someone who has recently, or will be booking Eurostar (via their own web site) and use their offer (there is a link active for 21 days from booking on the confirmation email) to see what price you can get :D

Depending on how long you're going for, whether you plan to return within a year and what changes DLP make to APs, it may be worth you looking at Annual Passes.
The bus back to the Hipark after Dreams is beyond frightening. I have seen physical fights breakout on more than one occasion.

The AP is something I've also been thinking about, but I have no idea yet if it's only gonna be one time or more per year.
By the way, do anyone know if there has been a comparison of the offers AP's get and the offers shareholders get with their card?

That doesn't sound promising. Perhaps Uber or a train to the Val D'Europe station could be better?
If staying in the Val D'Europe, we would prefer to stay in the Residhome and use the train for transfers. 30 sec walk from hotel to station platform, trains every 10-15 minutes all day.
We've used Uber before to get back to the HiPark on a few occasions it is fairly cheap. We would normally choose to get picked up from the exit past the IMAX. I would prefer to walk if i could not get a taxi than get that bus, it is horrific. Children literally get trampled on, elbows are thrown at people's faces... absolutely mental.
It must be just that bus because we got the other one, the 54, in and out from Hotel B&B last month and there were no issues. Yes there was a bit of pushing to get on but nothing major.
Thanks for your comments everyone.
Sounds like the bus isn't the best thing then if I stay there.
