The room was very modern with amenities we needed. the location felt really great. i particularly enjoyed walking along the canal in the late afternoon sun. It doesn't always rain. the bathroom had an excellent shower. comfy bed too!
i stayed here on recommendation from friends. the room was not very clean upon arrival. you couldn't walk in bare feet anytime as bits kept getting stuck on the soles of your feet.
