Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room had a great view, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited options. The location was very convenient with easy access to public transportation, but it was not in a noisy area. The hotel facilities were top-notch, making it a great value for the price.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and came with nice music. The service was exceptional. The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to all the museums. The dining experience was satisfactory. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel is located in a great museum district, just a short walk from the main canals. The rooms are spacious and clean, offering beautiful views. The staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating. However, the dining options are limited, and the price can be a bit high.
