Excellent Stay
central location clean room excellent shower
The location was superb, right in the centre. I found the room very comfy and tidy. The shower was excellent (a real plus after a day of exploring).
The walls were a little thin. I could hear other guests sometimes.

great location overnight parking downstairs cafe small room sloping ceiling lack of drawers
The location was great , very close to the canal. I was able to park overnight behind the room. The breakfast was available downstairs in the cafe.
The room was very small , the sloping ceiling limited my movement. There was a lack of drawers. There was only one chair in the room.
