The scenery was nice, but the sound of cars driving along the canal in the morning was quite loud. It was a shame that we could hear a lot of machinery noise. The bath was very nice, as it offered a great view. The breakfast was also quite good.

The hotel is old and feels with less maintenance. Parking area not shovelled and only allow guests to park over 12pm on departure day. Staff communicate smooth and friendly; we felt paid more than how it deserves. Surrounding area is ok, walkable to all attractions and hotel room facing the canal. overall is an old and average hotel for us.

Very nice hotel, however property was surprisingly dirty on close inspection. Mold in bathroom for example, damaged furniture. While staying here i became very ill, however staff were very accomodating and area around hotel is very ideal. Lots of tourist areas and very walkable. Main issue was cleanliness of the room.

The hotel feels quite old and could use some updates. Be aware that the staff does not assist with luggage, which might be inconvenient for some travelers. Additionally, the humidifier in the room had mold, and overall cleanliness could be improved.
