“This hotel strikes me as a restored patrician house that artfully blends historical charm with contemporary convenience, near the Belfry and Market Square; its location, while central, maintains a quiet atmosphere. The extensive breakfast and canal-side terrace stand out, as does the friendly staff who offer personalized local insights, in my opinion.
