This place worked well for us because we mostly used our room to sleep then were out all day. However, it is very small and many things are outdated. The complimentary happy hour was a huge bonus.

Generally loved the room. It's an old wooden building but the view from the top room overlooking the canal is definitely the selling point. Bathroom was compact but well maintained. The main door took some effort to close as it's an old door. Didn't have the breakfast option but I would definitely come back and stay again
Double bed was lovely and you can sleep looking out to the Canal

Nice location and easy to reach via Metro underground train from station, plus they have free luggage storage. There's a supermarket just 5 mins walk away. This is our 3rd visit and each time we find the staff really friendly. Happy hour is a lovely bonus and self serve. Didn't experience any noise on back of hotel and be prepared for very steep steps but a great view over the canal.

This is a super-cute hotel, with comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. That said, they never cleaned our room for the 3 days we were there, even after I requested it on the second day. The bathroom is elegant, but there's no shelf to put your toiletries. The wardrobe has good hanging space, but no shelves. If you are staying for more than one day, the place needs some improvements.

Breakfast was simple but well done; staff are really good, very helpful. The stairs are very steep & a bit of an issue if you are on the top floor. Our room to be frank needs a little attention - eg. bit shabby, bed too soft, curtains don't shut properly, privacy blinds don't work
