Wonderful hotel for single travelers, couples or families, but especially families. You can meet cartoon characters everywhere, including on the screen behind the front desk, showing a movie. It was very central and clean, room was well maintained and nice. Everything we wanted to see was in walking distance or we used the transportation right near the hotel.

Staying here at Cartoon Hotel was one of the best decision we made ever. Staff went beyond and did their best to make us feel comfortable and good. Their location can't be explained with words. It was right near famous square and street and at nights it is not noisy at all. During day time, it is very nice to have a walk, try shops or stores and have some delicious food and snacks.
