Acceptable stay. Issues arose

narrow winding stairs killer stairs
the location was quite good, placing me near the market.
The stairs were a killer. Carrying luggage up those narrow, winding steps seemed like a punishment i didn't deserve. it seemed like i was climbing a ladder, not walking to my room. no lift at all.

Canal View Delight

canal view helpful staff luggage storage
The room was spacious for a couple and it included a nice canal view. The staff were always available to help and answer our questions. We were able to leave our bags with the front desk before check-in so we could explore the area.
The hotel has no elevator, a bit difficult with heavy luggage.
