Very good
7.4
“In my opinion, its prime location and canal views are the real draw, making it easy to explore the city. The building's age definitely shows, with some quirks in the rooms and steep stairs to navigate. Overall, a solid base for travelers who prioritize location and don't mind some old-world charm.”
