Great location, quirky hotel, close to attractions & university!
Pros:

View above the canal. Sound of lapping water. Good size family room. Good size accessible bathroom. All requests were actioned. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

Beside a sex shop! Was there with daughter …

Bit too much clutter in the ‘museum’. Thankfully not in room nor breakfast room.

Pros:

La posizione è molto buona

Cons:

La colazione va decisamente migliorata. E' un pò scarsa, non c'è la possibilità di ordinare qualche semplice piatto (es. uova al tegamino, strapazzate, ecc). Va solo bene per un italiano (cornetto e cappuccino).

Breve, ma intenso
Pros:

Il personale molto cordiale, la posizione ottima, ci siamo trovati molto bene.

Cons:

Si potrebbe migliorare la pulizia soprattutto nel bagno, ma tutto sommato la posizione vicinissima al centro compensa

Sería un pequeño hotel perfecto, si compraran colchones nuevos.
Pros:

Es un hotel muy céntrico. Tiene, como decoración, muchos objetos, instrumentos musicales, vintage. El personal es muy agradable.

Cons:

Deberían hacer una inversión urgente para renovar camas y sobre todo colchones. Son la base de un buen descanso, y los que ofrecen actualmente, son viejos e incómodos.
