I was underwhelmed at my stay at this hotel. In short it was fine, but it lacked the charm I thought it would have based on other reviews and pictures. I appreciated that this hotel was situated away from the action and was within waking distance to all the main attractions. Unfortunately it is also located next to a public taxi stop so you can hear boats coming in at all hours. The quality of the breakfast was average at best and served in a very dull room. The hotel itself felt dated but clean and well maintained. The rooms we selected were large and had canal views as promised. The sound proofing wasn't great, fortunately the room next to mine was my family. The hotel is primarily accessible via water taxi and arriving this way is charming. The hotel staff were nice and friendly. Overall, we wanted to experience being at a hotel with a Canal view so this was a good, but not great option.
