helpful staffwelcome drinkkind attitudetiny roomadjacent toiletmisleading description
the staff were helpful from beginning to check out. they showed a kind attitude at this hotel. i received a welcome drink and a few appetizers and then i had my nice room. i could also leave my luggage at the reception.
the rooms are very tiny. the bathroom toilet is literally adjacent to the tub with no space in between. we even tried to figure out where to keep our luggage and this was with the double room we booked. we had booked a room with canal view however, the description was very misleading.
