Perfect Stay Near the Station

great locationcanal viewspacious room
The hotel is located near the train station. I could leave my luggage before check-in to explore. The room included a very good view of the canal, it was also spacious. The air conditioning worked very well.
The room could use some maintenance as some of the furniture showed wear.

worn roomuncomfortable beds
The room was not what i expected. it felt quite worn and the bathroom had some issues with the grout (i could feel the buildup on the walls). there was also a bad smell from the drain. I kept the bathroom door closed to manage it. the beds were also pretty uncomfortable and the cover was found in the drawer (it looked like they might be renovating, i guess).

The location was amazing. The train station was VERY close. We completed paperwork upon arrival at the reception. We left our luggage, and it was safe. Our room was ready later, and i picked up the keys. The venetian decor added a nice touch. The silk wallpaper was elegant.
The tv in the room was REALLY small.

The staff were flexible with early check-in allowing us to drop our bags off. Breakfast was included, though simple. It was a completely reasonable offering given the overall price of the room. I was happy.
