city centersecure areaunique experiencenonexistent wi-fi
I found the location perfect. the hotel sits so close to the city center and the train station. i liked that parking was just opposite the hotel. It felt secure with its barrier entry and exit. situated on either side of the canal, it really offered a unique experience.
The wi-fi was a real issue for me. It seemed nonexistent. i contacted reception. they couldn't offer any solutions. this was quite disappointing, especially since i needed it.

I really enjoyed the great location near everything. The spa includes a lovely pool with space to relax. The bar offered a fabulous tapas menu, and the bar staff were amazing. I felt very welcomed.
I noticed the hotel parking lot is quite small. It might be challenging to secure a space during busy times.
