    “Lovely art deco hotel by the canal. Breakfast was great - plenty of choice, eggs prepared in front of you any way you want them including french toast. Free cheese from 4-6pm and free bar was a really lovely touch. Great location and we were able to walk to numerous restaurants. Staff were very friendly and went out of their way to try and be helpful. There was a lift!”

    “We really liked the location, the generous breakfast and the “living room” feel of the lobby. Coffee and other beverages were available 24/7. Small snacks were provided each day and a wine cart with cheeses in the late afternoon. It was a nice place to relax and meet other guests…or not.”

  • Perfect location would definitely recommend.

    “The welcome was very friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. It had a canal view. A mini bar stocked and free to use. In the afternoon there was a cheese trolley and drinks available. Each day was a different selection of treats. We were able to store our luggage on the last day and they called us a taxi for our departure.”
