great location and efficient service
canal location friendly staff varied breakfast
The hotel's position near the canals, train station, and many restaurants was perfect for exploring. everything i wanted to see was easily within walking distance (which i really liked). i found the management to be both friendly and efficient. the breakfast had a good variety of items. I noticed fruit, yogurts, breads, eggs, coffee, and juice.
I found a slight chemical odor in the hallways. It might be from cleaning products.
