What people say

Have different choice for eat and also i like because the man at the reception , when we arrive give us different information about places to visit. (is the 2nd time i go in this hotel, and i will go again and this hotel is on a good location, near from many thing). all reviews »
Great location, large room and large bathroom. Very cosy.Proximity to town centre, great view for watching the world go by. location, near the center. Staff very helpful and good breakfast. The owners were nice and helpful, and the price was good. It was also just a short walk to museums and the city center.wonderful views of the canals and location. The view to the river... Although I don't specially like having mice for visit.Being in the proximity of many attractions. it was my second time in the same hotel, but different room - and still satisfied!. The shower didn't have warmwater, and therefore it wasn't an excelent stay. The level of noise from outside very noisy. The facilities are very tired and it was quite noisy on a street cornerwith internal stairwell. The room was tiny with oversized furniture, a bad TV and a sink with a blocked drain and it constantly stunk of weed. The only access to the room was via super steep stairs with very narrow steps (quite unsafe, difficult to manage if you have big luggage). The shared bathroom was not very clean. The computer available for internet use was painfully slow.the stairs to the rooms are very steep and awkward. room 4 is tinny and next to a coffee shop which stops open till about 4am. Lack of cleanliness, no heating (and not even a thick cover for the bed to make up for it).
