A very central location means you can walk to a lot, which matters more than fancy hotel facilities on a short family trip.

Compact rooms work better with older kids than little ones, but the location is extremely convenient for a short city stay.

Shrunken heads, strange objects and visual tricks make this better for older kids who enjoy gross and bizarre things.

Rides, gardens, lights and food all in one compact place make this much easier with mixed ages than a giant theme park.

Directly beside the station and amusement park, which makes arrival days and late nights dramatically simpler with children.

The old fashioned cakes and hot chocolate make this feel like an occasion, though queues can test younger kids' patience.
