Reviews

Neil 8/10
United Kingdom ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Great location and good price for a popular location

Pros: The hotel was priced well as the new owners are going to do a refurb later in the year. The location was superb as you could walk down the back streets to some good bars and a local quality Chinese restaurant. Staff were very friendly and breakfast more than ample.

Cons: There was nothing really untoward.

Kenneth 8/10
United Kingdom ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Pros: Great location, by the canal, in old town and near sights. Really nice area. Clean, functional. Staff very friendly and helpful. An old building with character. Converted to make rooms. There is a lively English pub opposite with seats on a boat, selling international range of drinks. Recommended, especially if you want to see the old town: it's good, well-run, functional and central,

Cons: The hotel is furnished simply and is quite empty in parts. There is scope for putting in more furniture and paintings to make it warmer. It's a three-star hotel, like most of the hotels in the old town. If you want luxury and good facilities, probably best to go for a modern four-star but these are perhaps in the modern part of town.

Very happy all in all, no complaints at all.

Pros: The manager was exceptional, we only stayed for one night, but he was very helpful as we travelled on bicycles, and there were eleven of us. Our room was clean and roomy, although a bit worn-looking. There was a large separate bathroom with a separate shower and bath. Breakfast was cheap and plentiful and served promptly.

Cons: The hotel is showing its age and could do with a refresh.

A very pleasant experience would certainly return

Pros: The property was close to the centre of the town so within walking distance to bars and restaurants. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Sh 9/10
United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Pros: Location, simplicity, cleanliness, friendliness of the staff.

Cons: This is not the hotel's fault, but late-night music on the street meant I was forced to choose between quiet and fresh air. The bread at breakfast is not as good as some in the Netherlands.

Pros: The location is very close to many restaurants and bars. Good breakfast.

Cons: My room is on the ground floor - sometimes there was some noise.
