Clean and contemporary rooms. Lovely shower. Window opens, which is a bonus. Car park right underneath the hotel and access/spaces big enough. Breakfast in Novotel was very tasty and plenty of choice. Free tea, coffee and water in the hotel lobby and nice seating area. Close to all amenities.

The Pand Hotel
Great location, boutique hotel, you can take the boat to the canal right out of the hotel. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was cute, we had bath robes and slippers ! The room had a musky smell that remind me of my grandma’s living room, other than that amazing choice.
