Pros:

La amabilidad de la mujer que nos atendió y lo atenta que fue con nosotras.
Sitio limpio, aunque el espacio es reducido, está muy bien aprovechado y estuvimos cómodas. Además de la parte común que se puede utilizar.
El día que nos íbamos, vísperas de fin de año, nos ofrecieron ollobollen recién hechos, súper ricos!!

Cons:

Quizás alguna cosa para poder tapar las ventanas por la noche.

A wonderful boat accommodation experience.
Pros:

Its central location was the main reason we chose it but the friendly staff, the warm treats offered throughout the day and the nice breakfast made us say we were glad we did. We had no heating issues. The rooms were clean. Just keep in mind that the rooms are small when booking. Experiencing a stay on a boat in this city of canals was lovely. Thank you for everything.

Pros:

Отличное место, правда, пожалел, что провел там только один день и изначально выбрал гостиницу

Cons:

Долго обогреватель до нужной температуры доходит, при чекине было 15, только часа через три 20+ Меня не напрягло под двумя одеялами, но для двоих человек было бы не очень
