amazing canal view!

convenient locationfriendly staffuncomfortable bed
the location was great. The bus and sea bus ticket station are just a short walk away. continental breakfast was really nice. the staff was very helpful and friendly (they checked us in early, a huge bonus!).
the beds made noise when i turned (not the most comfortable). also, i had two black teas and was charged 9 euros for hot water and dipping teabags (you can make the same tea in your room for free!).

The room felt quite dated. i found it inconvenient that there were very few power outlets. I had to unplug the tv just to charge my phone. the breakfast also seemed a little limited. the hot food was sitting in greasy trays, not very appealing honestly.

basic breakfastindifferent staff
The breakfast was quite basic. It had scrambled eggs but not much else I cared for. My room also had some ants. I found them near the desk and also in the bathroom. I reported it, but the staff seemed indifferent to this issue. The location was also tiring because you have to walk a while to get to the main streets.
