A period hotel in the middle of a renovation to become a Hard Rock Hotel. Even with the renovation in full swing, we were greeted by a very pleasant young man, all smiles and ready to help. We arrived earlier than the website said for check in, but it wasn t a problem. He found us a room, in fact it was an upgrade, so bonus. Our view was over the canal and nice it was.

The food in the restaurant was not to our liking, which was a shame as it was very well presented. But the breakfast was very good, plenty of options, plenty to choose from and go back for more. As in stock up for a days walking.

Good location if you are happy to walk around, but it s not the town center. So look before you book.

Staff were very nice and helpful, and as the hotel is in the throws of changing to a Hard Rock. I hope it does not become a rock monster and still has all the charm from its previous years. I doubt it though.
