The area is nice right on the canal but very hard to reach the hotel without the porter service for getting the bags across the bridge. Breakfast not bad. The rate is too expensive for what you get, I had a no view room looking over the back or side.

The room is very very outdated and the room has a smell of dampness , and the bed is not comfy, hard for the back.. overall it's not worth for the money that I paid. Plus not good for seniors who are carrying luggage's as you need to climb the bridge of at least a hundred steps to get to the hotel.
