Insight Guides "Most people fall in love with this lovely brick hotel by a quiet, tree-lined canal close to the centre. It is an irresistible building, with old wooden staircases and heavy oak furniture."

Star Service "Dating back to the 15th century, this small, luxurious hotel overlooks a canal in the most picturesque and historical part of the city." Full review
