I especially appreciated the delicious breakfast (the pastries were irresistible!). The location was very peaceful with scenic canal views and convenient walks, a romantic setting. Staff members were helpful and cute.
The TV was a bit small for the room size.

The staff are lovely. Especially the manager i found. the rooms are really spacious, i will say! the beds are very comfortable, if you like soft beds though, which i definitely do.
the bathroom was freezing cold. it stayed that way even with the heater on, can you believe it? i had a couple of issues, really. i discussed them with the manager the next morning and pointed them out! the manager said they would be dealt with, though.
