great locationitalian croissantsstrange layout
The location was great, very close to both the train station and water bus station. breakfast had good variety and the staff was helpful. The breakfast included italian croissants which was a plus. the canal view from the room added to the experience.
the layout was a little strange, requiring exiting the main foyer to reach our room. this involved navigating to a different entrance and up several flights of stairs. i found this inconvenient with luggage and after long days.

The quadruple room included two double beds and basic furnishings. There was also a small desk area that was helpful for planning our day. the room was cleaned daily. Fresh towels were provided each morning.
