adequate stay, issues encountered

small bathroom extra charge

the hotel offered a central location, making it easy to access nearby amenities.

My room was uncomfortably small, specifically the bathroom, lacked adequate space. the shower design posed issues. Water splashed everywhere because it was not enclosed properly.

charmed by canalside serenity

convenient parking pool access large restaurant friendly staff

i found the parking convenient, located across from the hotel entrance. the hotel offered a spa and a pool, i considered this a great perk. the large restaurant served breakfasts and evening meals that i pre-booked. i found the staff very friendly and helpful throughout my stay, very pleasant.

the room got quite warm. there was no air conditioning so i had to keep the window open, this resulted in noise from a nearby road junction.

canal side stay

early parking breakfast choices

i could park early, before the official check-in time. The breakfast choices were plentiful. i enjoyed the convenient location near public transport options. The room size was decent, with enough space to move around.

The room only had a fan for cooling. There were limited plug sockets near the bed. Street noise was noticeable when the window remained open.

The staff was friendly . They assisted with directions and information. One staff member even remembered my coffee preference. I found that excellent.
