What films, toys, and cartoons does your child like? Maybe it's Barbie, Minions, Pokémon, pirates, Batman or Spider-Man?

Kidpassage has selected some of the most exciting hotels that have something interesting in store for you.
Belek, Turkey: The colours of childhood. Hotel The Land of Legends*****
The Land of Legends welcomed its first guests in 2016. Located next door to the amusement park of the same name in Belek Resort, it offers chic and colourful rooms explicitly designed for children. There is a separate floor with pink-coloured rooms for girls. A Playstation game console can be found in all rooms.
London, UK: On the way to Hogwarts. Hotel Georgian House Hotel****
The four Wizarding Rooms are the ultimate gift for those about to plunge into the world of Harry Potter. Their decor is reminiscent of the rooms at the Hole Cauldron, the Hogwarts bedrooms and the Weasley House rooms. Arrowhead windows, fireplaces, chequered plaids, and four-poster beds make it a pleasure to relax in such surroundings after (or before) a tour of magical London. The room rate includes a traditional English hotel breakfast: oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, cereals and milk, toast with jam, fresh fruit and berries.
Billund, Denmark: A pirate haven. Hotel Legoland****
It's not easy to part with the Legoland park's entertainment, so it has themed hotels on its grounds. The most childlike and hilarious room here is called The Pirates Lego Suite.
With a palm tree in a barrel, a map with secret signs, an unknown land in the porthole and a shark in the bathtub, it's an adventure for the adventurous. The King, Knight and Princess, Treasure and Adventure Suites are equally enthralling.
Each room has a vast construction box so the decorations can be added to your liking. The hotel restaurant has a special children's menu, and young guests can choose their favourite dishes.
Legoland hotels in Gunzburg, Windsor, California, Florida and Malaysia also have children's rooms with fabulous decorations.
Phuket, Thailand: On a ship to the shores of dreams. Hotel Inn Resort Phuket****
Phuket's family hotels are brimming with tempting offers for children. What child would refuse an afternoon nap when instead of a bed in his room, there is a beautiful boat, which seems to be rocked by the sea waves painted on the wall?
The rooms are large and filled with stuffed animals, educational toys and a games console. Other rooms have regular beds, but the bed linen is decorated with ships sailing on the azure sea.
Ibi, Spain: for new toys.Hotel del Juguette****
The province of Alicante has a long-established Toy Museum and recently added a toy-themed hotel. On the walls of its rooms are characters from famous cartoons and video games in Spain.
As well as brightly coloured pictures (balanced with white furniture), children will find dolls and everything they need to get their act together. Rooms with dolls, toy kitchens and houses will suit girls, while boys will find Playmobil and Lego sets.
There are educational toys and stuffed animals for the little ones. There are dolls to play with in the hotel corridors, restaurant and playroom for the little guests.
Stuttgart, Germany: Auto Romance. V8 Hotel****
Stuttgart has been called the cradle of the automobile industry, and the V8 Hotel offers its guests 'cradles' in the form of cars. More precisely, old cars are converted into comfortable beds. It is not only a boy's heart that will change — dads want to settle down in a place like this.
There are themed rooms for Formula 1 fans, lovers of vintage cars, and lovers of rummaging in the engine... The design has a peculiar humour, but the tickets for the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums are a severe offer.
Rust, Germany: Hospitable Middle Ages. Hotel Castillo Alcazar****
Europa-Park knows how to surprise its guests. Even the hotels on its grounds resemble amusement rides rather than a place to sleep. Children will be delighted to see that they live in an almost real castle and sleep on high beds with velvet canopies.
The furnishings at Castillo Alcazar are crude, and the walls are painted in stone, but there are no chateau draughts. Is it haunted? That remains to be seen. Fans of the Arthur and the Invisibles films and books will want to stay in the themed room at El Andaluz and get VIP admission to the attraction.
Castelnuovo del Garda, Italy: Visit the panda. Hotel Gardaland Hotel****
A must-see for fans of the Kung Fu Panda cartoon series is the Gardaland theme park in Italy, which has rides dedicated to characters from the cartoon series and a hotel room specially decorated in the spirit of the cartoon.
Staying in any of these hotels is already an actual holiday. All parents have to do is earn money for their holiday and organise an unforgettable trip for their child to the world of theme hotels.
To ensure you don't get lost in the variety of parks, here's a look at the best children's and adults' theme parks in Europe. Have a nice and colourful holiday!
