B&B HOTEL Mataró
A nine-minute taxi ride to the water park, budget rate
About this hotel
B&B Hotel Mataró keeps things simple and budget-focused, with a kids' playroom and a bar rather than a spa or restaurant, and it's confirmed a roughly nine-minute taxi ride from Illa Fantasia itself, one of the shortest, most reliable commutes to the park gates of any hotel across this entire catchment. Pet-friendly rooms mean the dog doesn't need to stay behind, and the straightforward city-hotel setup suits a family whose money is mostly earmarked for park tickets rather than the room itself. The kids' playroom is a genuine bonus for younger children on the one evening nobody wants to go out again. The strongest fact here: that confirmed nine-minute taxi ride, a real practical edge at a genuinely budget rate.

Our take
This suits a family prioritising a short, reliable commute to Illa Fantasia and a low room rate over spa treatments or a sea view, with a pet along for the trip if needed. The kids' playroom is a real bonus for younger children. Families wanting a pool or countryside setting should look toward other properties elsewhere on this list instead of this straightforward city option.
- ✓Book this if minimising both cost and commute time to Illa Fantasia matters more than hotel amenities.
- ✓Use the kids' playroom on the evening nobody feels like going out again after a long park day.
- ✓Confirm any pet fee directly with the hotel before travelling with a dog.

Why guests love itWe stayed four nights and used the confirmed nine-minute taxi ride to Illa Fantasia every single morning, keeping our commute shorter than almost anywhere else we looked in the region. The money we saved on the budget room rate went straight into extra park days, and the kids' playroom kept our youngest happy on our one quiet evening in. It's the kind of practical detail that only stands out once you're actually living it with tired kids in tow, not something you'd notice from a listing photo alone.
