Had a wonderful stay! The hotel was beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location. A special thank you to Sasha and Allan at the lobby — they were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel truly taken care of from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, amazing service and a great experience. Would definitely stay here again!

Room was great and spacious, breakfast was awesome! Staff was super friendly. We loved the location, much quieter than being by the train station. Plenty to do with museums and the canals being right there and lots of eating options. Be aware there is no elevator so pack light. The stairs are very steep.

The breakfast was an additional cost but the food was very good and the staff was very accommodating for whatever you wanted to order. There is a free happy hour for hotel guests every day from 4-6 with wine, beer, soda and snacks. The staff was very easily available, kind, and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again if I were to return to the city.

The hotel is really nice. The room was large and quiet. The staff was outstanding. Very helpful and friendly! The breakfast was very nice and the happy hour was a surprise. It was the perfect place to stay! Located within a short walk to the museums and right between the tram and the metro. A real jewel!

This place worked well for us because we mostly used our room to sleep then were out all day. However, it is very small and many things are outdated. The complimentary happy hour was a huge bonus.

We loved the hotel and the complimentary happy hour was delightful. Our only concern was the steep staircases since we were on the top floor. We left our heavy suitcases for storage in reception and carried up only our backpacks with enough for one night. I would strongly recommend that and the staff were very helpful with storing our heavy luggage.

Location was great. Workers were wonderful. Breakfast was OK. The room is the smallest room I have ever seen. You can’t even get into bed from the side. You have to crawl into bed from the bottom. The best part was the happy hour from 4 to 6 every day!

The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and a great way to start each day. I was especially grateful for their honesty and care—after accidentally leaving my jewelry in the safe, they promptly shipped it back to me, which I truly appreciated. The downstairs bedroom featured a drop-in tub that was perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. The location was also very convenient, just a short walk to a metro stop, making it easy to get around. Overall, a wonderful experience!

The staff were friendly and helpful. There was one staff member, Allan, who went above and beyond for us. He helped get with getting museum tickets online, cheerfully gave us directions for food and drink, arranged for taxis to pick us up to get to our cruise etc. The free drinks and snacks at happy hour were a nice surprise.

Generally loved the room. It's an old wooden building but the view from the top room overlooking the canal is definitely the selling point. Bathroom was compact but well maintained. The main door took some effort to close as it's an old door. Didn't have the breakfast option but I would definitely come back and stay again
Double bed was lovely and you can sleep looking out to the Canal
