My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and it was a bonus that the hotel is dog-friendly. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there was an off-putting moment regarding our identity. The location was excellent for exploring the city but could get noisy due to its proximity to a busy road. The dining experience was good, though a bit pricey with a slow service experience.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly cozy and well-designed, making the most out of the old building with modern furnishings and color schemes. Although I wished for a bit more brightness at night, the magnetic disks for blocking out LEDs were genius. The location was perfect, right on the canal, ideal for accessing bars and clubs, and the blackout curtains ensured a peaceful night's sleep. The dining experience was a bit confusing, but I highly recommend the white hot chocolate. Overall, the service was warm and welcoming, and the staff made my visit truly delightful.

The hotel is in a central location within walking distance to the university and the city center, providing everything one might need. The rooms are nice but a little cold in winter nights, with windows that can be opened for fresh air but limited natural light. The service was welcoming and polite, with friendly staff but mixed opinions from different departments. The dining experience, primarily in the onsite cafe, was a bit confusing and marred by forgetful and unfriendly staff. The location is very central and convenient with various dining options nearby. Facilities were satisfactory overall.
