The breakfast was an additional cost but the food was very good and the staff was very accommodating for whatever you wanted to order. There is a free happy hour for hotel guests every day from 4-6 with wine, beer, soda and snacks. The staff was very easily available, kind, and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again if I were to return to the city.

The staff were friendly and helpful. There was one staff member, Allan, who went above and beyond for us. He helped get with getting museum tickets online, cheerfully gave us directions for food and drink, arranged for taxis to pick us up to get to our cruise etc. The free drinks and snacks at happy hour were a nice surprise.

Generally loved the room. It's an old wooden building but the view from the top room overlooking the canal is definitely the selling point. Bathroom was compact but well maintained. The main door took some effort to close as it's an old door. Didn't have the breakfast option but I would definitely come back and stay again
Double bed was lovely and you can sleep looking out to the Canal

Nice location and easy to reach via Metro underground train from station, plus they have free luggage storage. There's a supermarket just 5 mins walk away. This is our 3rd visit and each time we find the staff really friendly. Happy hour is a lovely bonus and self serve. Didn't experience any noise on back of hotel and be prepared for very steep steps but a great view over the canal.

This is a super-cute hotel, with comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. That said, they never cleaned our room for the 3 days we were there, even after I requested it on the second day. The bathroom is elegant, but there's no shelf to put your toiletries. The wardrobe has good hanging space, but no shelves. If you are staying for more than one day, the place needs some improvements.
