I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a wonderful view of the canal, and they were more spacious than other hotels I've stayed in. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The location was quiet yet within walking distance of the center, although it was slightly inconvenient for traveling around. The dining options were enjoyable but a bit pricey. Overall, a great experience with some minor drawbacks.
