I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts a very spacious and light room with all the necessary amenities. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, really enhancing my visit. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Old Town, and right beside the canal. However, I did wish there were a few more accessible power sockets in the room, and the breakfast could have offered more variety.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! It’s located right by the main canal, making it super easy to explore the town without the noise. The rooms have a lovely old-world charm with modern touches, but they were a bit on the small side. The service was friendly and offered nice little perks like free coffee. However, they were a little noisy when cleaning up in the morning. Overall, it’s good value for money, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.
