The location was fantastic. A short walk put me right in the center. Breakfast offered cava for Bucks Fizz, and that was such a NICE touch. My room had wonderful views overlooking the canal.

the location was quite central, a short walk to many attractions.

My room overlooked scaffolding and taped-up windows. This view severely detracted from the ambiance. cobwebs hung from the ceiling in the outdated bathroom. the room was far from clean.
