“Great location, with everything within a 5-15 minute walk. The view of the big canal was the highlight. The breakfast buffet was delicious, especially the coffee. The bathroom was spacious and I liked the shelf next to the window for my things. The reception staff gave excellent advice on avoiding tourist scams. Nothing to complain about.”
