The hotel boasts a fantastic location right by the canal, which is perfect for leisurely walks. The room offered a lovely view, but it felt slightly cramped for storing clothes. The staff were polite and attentive, although I encountered a long wait for dining service during my stay. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement, especially regarding the facilities available.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the friendly staff and decent amenities were highlights, I was really let down by the room condition, which fell short of expectations considering the price. The breakfast, although reasonable, lacked variety and quality compared to other options I've experienced. It's an okay choice, but I wouldn't say it exceeded my expectations.
