Guest Ratings & Reviews
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were perfect with a small balcony overlooking the garden, offering a stunning view and the beds were so comfy. The service was top-notch, with a nice touch of champagne and convenient amenities like room service, car hire, dry cleaning, and laundry. The location directly on the canal in the heart of the town couldn't have been more ideal, being really close to the Square. The dining experience with included refined dishes was a true delight. The facilities were fantastic, making my stay even more enjoyable. The only drawback was the slightly high price point, but overall, it was well worth it for the value received.
