Fantastic Canal View Room

canal viewcomfortable bedhanging space
The room had a beautiful canal view (it was nice!). The beds were very comfortable. I also appreciated the shower that had great pressure. The location is excellent, as it is very close to the train station.
The hotel lacked sufficient hanging space. I did mention it to the front desk, but they said that it was a common complaint, and the owners wanted to keep the design simple.

The location is certainly convenient. It is just a short walk from the central station. The room offered good space and decent facilities. The breakfast provided was also satisfactory..
The staff was somewhat disinterested. They were even rude to a point, quite surprising. The room lighting was insufficient for reading or seeing clearly in the bathroom. The hotel seems to have neglected this important customer need.

adequate, but some issues need attention.

dark roomhanging space
The room was quite dark, even with all the lights on. this made it difficult to get ready in the mornings. also, i found that there wasn't enough space to hang my clothes. I ended up living out of my suitcase. the front desk said a lot of people say that, but the owners like the simplicity of it. it was quite inconvenient though.
