The hotel staff were really lovely - friendly and helpful. They agreed to keep reception open for us when our flight was delayed and didnt rush us in when we finally got there. They also really helped us with our onward journey plans and there was no problem with leaving our bags during the day while we wandered round the city.

I assumed we would have a view of the canal from our room. The door was hard to open. We liked the tile floor and the service.

Dated but nice location
The location is great - close to the centre and by the canal. The staff were helpful, too. My single room had no exterior window, but they changed it when I asked. The decor of the hotel is very old fashioned, and the room small, but it was clean

Top Lage und trotzdem ruhig
Wenn ich einen Wasserkocher und einen kleinen Kühlschrank zur Verfügung habe (covidsgemäß kein Frühstück möglich), bin ich schon sehr zufrieden. Top-Lage. Super heiß im Zimmer, schade, man musste die ganze Zeit Fenster offen halten (Fenster auf einen Innengarten, für eine Nacht gar kein Problem).

Quirky & fun
I loved this quirky hotel, with the antique bicycles and luggage in the corridors! Also I enjoyed the roof deck overlooking the canal. Fun!
