Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at this hotel, and it was a wonderful experience overall. The modern rooms with very nice bathrooms and ample storage for bags made it very convenient. The shower was great, providing a refreshing start to the day. The service was excellent, from the attentive housekeeping to the delightful welcome drink and pet amenities available. The location was lovely, especially the newly refurbished restaurant where I enjoyed my meals, despite some inconveniences related to the ongoing refurbishment work. The quality of the on-site pub was also a highlight. The dining experience, with included Indonesian dishes, was satisfying. The facilities met my expectations, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the canal path and offers a peaceful stay next to a lovely marina. The restaurant onsite was a nice touch despite some minor refurbishments. The rooms are modern and equipped with a good shower and a chair in the bedroom, providing a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and had a chair, good shower, and toiletries. The staff provided great service, and the location was perfect with access to a lovely marina and canal path. The dining was included and enjoyable. However, the facilities were a bit lacking, and the price could be considered high for some.
