Best room for four

Family Room. 40 m² rated for 4, without paying the premium for a themed room.

Good for

Families with primary-school children who want a themed stay and will mostly eat in the park.

Think twice if

Food allergies are not catered for, the 2F restaurant loses dinner service from November 2026, and elementary-age children pay as adults.
