Pros:

I was in room 21, an Exceptional room. It was huge, about 25 by 12. Large, large windows facing the canal. Melody (spelling) was wonderful. Could not do enough. Remember, this is an old canal house. Hard to keep up everything. But most of the house was in fabulous condition. An excellent choice.

Pros:

את המיקום המושלם של המלון. ממש נוח להגיע לכל מקום. היחס של העובדים מדהים ! כולם אדיבים ברמות. ארוחת הבוקר נראית נהדר, למרות שלא אכלנו ממנה. יש גינה נחמדה ממש במלון.

Cons:

מסתבר שיש כמה רמות של קומות של חדרים. הבנו את זה בדיעבד. החדר שלנו היה בקומה הנמוכה, שהגישה אליו דרך החדר אוכל. לא היה נעים במיוחד. גם היה לנו חומה מול החלון. המיטה לא כל כך נוחה. אין מזגן במלון ולכן גם לא בחדר הזה, ובלי איוורור, היה קשה ממש
