Tokyo Disneyland Hotel Review (2025)
This is our review of the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, a grand, Victorian-style property located right at the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland Park.
With its iconic yellow façade, ornate details, and classic Disney charm, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is the flagship property at the resort. It's also one of the most conveniently located, offering easy monorail access and direct walking routes to the park entrance.
We paid for our stay and the hotel didn’t know we would be reviewing it.
Where is the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel?
The hotel is located directly across from the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland, next to Tokyo Disneyland Station on the Disney Resort Line. It’s only a few steps from the monorail platform and just minutes from the World Bazaar area inside the park. The Ikspiari shopping village and JR station are within walking distance. For convenience, it’s easily the best located of the three Disney hotels we stayed in.
Booking & Price
We booked a Standard Room, paying around $350 USD per night. That puts it in line with other deluxe Disney properties at Tokyo Disney Resort, though still cheaper than similarly themed hotels in the US or Europe. We booked via the Tokyo Disney Resort website, which was straightforward, although some sections were only available in Japanese.
Rooms here book up quickly—especially those with park views—so we recommend booking as soon as your window opens (six months before arrival, starting at 9 a.m. JST). Dining reservations can also be made at the same time.
Room views vary significantly. Due to the height of the World Bazaar and the hotel’s setback position, even rooms labelled as park view may offer only limited visibility.
First Impressions & Check-In
The exterior of the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is one of its most recognisable features. With its bright yellow and blue Victorian design, turrets, and grand courtyard fountain, it looks straight out of a Disney fairytale.
Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a vast, chandelier-lit lobby with soaring ceilings, plush carpets, and soft background music. It feels very traditionally Disney—in a comforting and elegant way.
Unlike the busier lobby at MiraCosta (read our Hotel MiraCosta Review) or the more minimal Fantasy Springs (read our Fantasy Springs Hotel review), this was the only hotel where we felt like we could sit down and soak up the atmosphere.
Check-in was smooth. We arrived early, dropped our bags at bell services, and returned later to find them already in our room. The service was efficient, friendly, and professional throughout our stay.
There are several restaurants onsite, including:
Sherwood Garden Restaurant (buffet)
Canna (fine dining)
Dreamers Lounge (for light meals, coffee, and afternoon tea)
There’s also a large Disney-themed gift shop with the best selection of snacks and merchandise among all three hotels we stayed at. We picked up a morning snack and coffee, and grabbed a sandwich in the evening after a long park day.
Our Room at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel
Our standard room faced the Ikspiari shopping area and was spacious, well-lit, and classically styled. Think dark wood furniture, cream and gold wallpaper, and subtle Disney touches like hidden Mickeys in the wallpaper and carved into the furnishings.
Above each bed were framed character prints and a beautiful mural of Mickey and Minnie enjoying a Victorian picnic, adding a nostalgic Disney touch.
We had two large single beds and an additional daybed, making it ideal for families. There was also a full tea set, themed cups, complimentary bottled water, a kettle, and a fridge.
The bathroom followed the familiar Japanese layout: a separate toilet room, a sink area, and a bath with rainfall shower.
Around the room were many thoughtful touches common in Japanese hotels. We especially appreciated the take-home gifts, including two Disneyland Hotel tote bags, themed cups, postcards, and small tins filled with amenities. The hotel also provided pyjamas and slippers, which felt like a novelty to us even if standard in Japan.
The hotel is older than Fantasy Springs, and while beautifully maintained, it does feel slightly dated in style. We lovingly referred to the Victorian décor as “grandma’s house”—but in a good way. For us, it had charm and felt intentionally classic, unlike the darker and more subdued feel of MiraCosta.

Facilities & Extras
Of all the Tokyo Disney hotels we stayed in, this one had the best facilities. The onsite shop was the largest and most well-stocked, with snacks, drinks, gifts, and exclusive merchandise. The outdoor gardens were beautifully maintained and themed, including:
Fantasia Court with a Sorcerer Mickey fountain
Sherwood Garden
Mickey & Friends Square
Alice Garden
Each had topiary, themed sculptures, and great photo opportunities.
There’s also a seasonal outdoor pool and fitness centre. The pool was only open during the summer, and during our visit, there was an additional charge of 3,000 yen per person.
Dreamers Lounge was a peaceful place to enjoy tea or a drink, and the only hotel where we saw people enjoying a traditional afternoon tea service.
As with other Tokyo Disney hotels, guests receive:
"Happy 15" early park entry
Special hotel-only park hopper ticket options
Free baggage transfer between Disney hotels
Conclusion
Tokyo Disneyland Hotel offers classic Disney elegance in an unbeatable location. With spacious rooms, top-tier service, and the most complete facilities of any Disney hotel we stayed in, it’s an excellent base for your Tokyo Disney adventure.
Compared to MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs, it feels like the most balanced hotel overall. It may not be the newest or most immersive, but it excels in charm, comfort, and Disney magic. If you prefer modern décor, this may not be the right fit—but for timeless atmosphere and convenience, it’s hard to beat.
The only downside for us was the additional charge to use the pool. It felt a bit steep for a hotel at this price point, although it may be more in line with local customs.
Would we stay again? Absolutely. For a blend of Victorian elegance, thoughtful theming, and prime park access, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is one of the best Disney hotels we’ve stayed in anywhere in the world.
