Experience of the stay
Since its opening, this hotel has been recommended by many influencers. I finally stayed here using HafH! As expected from the reviews, it was truly the best hotel for families with children!
【Recommended Points】
① Full range of amenities for children!
Diapers (from S to L), pajamas (sizes from 90, separate top and bottom), wet wipes, potty seats, bed guards, children’s slippers, toothbrushes, and more.
With just clothes, you might not need anything else! The separate pajamas (for adults too) were a surprisingly pleasant point☺️
The diapers were Goone. They didn't suit my child (we usually use Merries, but Goone leaked for some reason), so that was unfortunate, but for kids who fit Goone, it would definitely help reduce luggage!
② Relaxing in the 2nd room
Our family usually does 2 nights and 3 days when we go to Disneyland. On the final day, I never felt like sightseeing with kids while carrying big luggage, so we’d usually head back right after check-out…
After letting the kids play in the 2nd room and then riding the shinkansen, the tired kids fell fast asleep on the train! 😴
The kids enjoyed reading picture books and playing with toys. Both kids and parents became fans of the 2nd room!
Around 10:30 AM on weekdays, the semi-private rooms were fully booked, but there were still plenty of open sofa seats, allowing us to relax safely. There were also water servers, paper plates, and cups, making it an excellent space for those feeding infants and preparing milk. It was a nice area to unwind even after check-out.
③ Convenience store and coin laundry available
The convenience store in official hotels is usually very expensive, so I always brought a few bottles of tea, but here, there is a convenience store on the first floor at normal prices, which was reassuring.
Also, many official hotels lack coin laundry, but being able to wash accumulated laundry before leaving made the return home a bit easier!
④ Separate bath and toilet, no shoes allowed
I could stretch in the bath and soak leisurely, soothing my tired body from the park. The water facilities also seemed to have been renovated from the entire hotel? They were clean. It was nice that no shoes were allowed, as children can be reluctant to wear slippers.
⑤ Exquisite breakfast
Not only delicious but also included children's tableware (tak), paper aprons, chairs (like a thick mat or ingenuity), porridge with salmon flakes, apples, and udon. The kids especially seemed to love the soboro rice and asked for seconds. I particularly enjoyed the French toast!
In the women’s restroom near the front desk, there was a step stool in front of the sink, showing wonderful consideration for families with children. It was a bit far from the park (25 minutes by free shuttle bus), but we were able to sit even during the final closing times (departure at 20:50), so it was comfortable. When staying at an official hotel, taking the resort line and walking from Bayside Station to the hotel with luggage and a stroller can be quite challenging… in that sense, the bus takes you right to the hotel entrance, which is fantastic! ☺️
This was my first time staying at a hotel near Shin-Urayasu, but I felt it was especially recommended for families with children and those driving to Disneyland. I hope everyone gives it a try!
If I had to mention one downside, check-in was also self-service, and all rented items (like bed guards) had to be carried to the room myself, so I think it may not be suitable for those who are alone. I hardly saw any staff during my stay, so asking for help might be difficult depending on the crowd…
Experiences during the trip
I heard that my favorite Pooh was featured in Vanepal, so I spent 2 nights and 3 days visiting both parks. The kids were thrilled! It became a wonderful trip.
