Wonderful Canal-Side Stay

My room offered a great view of the canal. Complimentary beer and soft drinks were available in the fridge. I found the bathroom fabulous and the bed comfy. The hotel provided a safe within the room.
The stairs were quite steep. I had to carry my suitcases up the narrow winding staircase. This proved a bit difficult.

Excellent Stay in a Charming Location

ground floor roomtraditional buildinghelpful staffprivacy issue
The hotel is situated in a traditional building, showcasing tall, thin architecture with steep stairs. The staff promptly arranged a ground floor room for our needs and showed kindness. I could leave my bags at the front desk to explore before check-in. The staff also provided complimentary beverages and snacks between 4-8 PM, a detail I found quite pleasant.
The bathroom glass wall in my room needed more frosting. It lacked sufficient privacy during use, a minor inconvenience. I hope they address this soon.
Location

The hotel benefits from its convenient location with easy access to trams. A canal view from the back terrace provides a picturesque setting. The area is also suitable for walks to museums, like the Van Gogh Museum. Though the parking was expensive.

The room provided a lovely view of a quite canal below, just by opening the window. The room featured a coffee machine. Though the mattress was a little thin. The bathroom was fabulous.
