 We would not open our balcony door as it had been screwed closed and having no other window in the room we would not get fresh air into our room which was very warm during the day Looking out was great but there are nets draped over the balcony to stop birds from sitting on the railings and I felt even more closed in and it actually spoilt the lovely views The bathroom shower should have a glass shower door and the old shower curtain should be removed as the bathroom was lovely except for that ugly shower curtain 
 The hotel is in the best position to catch all for public transport Canal cruises bicycle rentals trams busses and trains Within close walking distance to all shops bars coffee shops and a lot of the attractions The staff were all friendly and extremely helpful Our rooms were neat clean and very spacious The bed was very big and super comfortable We overlooked the train station and canal which always makes for good crowd watching TV channel selection was good The heated pool was marvelous and a great treat We ate dinner in the hotel and the meal was excellent in presentation and taste Breakfast we did not have as we chose to seek such else where each morning but we did sit out on the pavement terrace from time to time having a drink while catching a breath between all our many activities This hotel is a must
