The location is convenient near the train station. This made transporting luggage much easier. the rooftop bar provided nice views while i had a drink. i found the staff very helpful, especially with carrying my bags. a warm radiator in the bathroom was also a plus given the weather.
The key system was a bit old. I had to leave and collect the keys from the desk each time i returned.

EXCELLENT stay BY the canal!

cute servicegreat locationhelpful hotelrooftop bar
The staff displayed professional and cute service. The location proved GREAT because it was close to everything yet avoided large crowds. I especially appreciate the hotel keeping our bags on departure day until we needed to catch the bus to the airport. This was quite helpful. The rooftop bar and restaurant gave a FANTASTIC experience.
The breakfast area had some food splatter on the wall, it was a minor detail though.
