Frommer's Review

This small hotel's proprietors have taken a contemporary approach to reestablishing the elegant canal-house atmosphere; though it's in three adjoining houses that date from 1630, these were gutted and rebuilt to provide private bathrooms and rooms filled with antiques, quilts, and Chinese rugs. Fortunately, it's blessed with an elevator (though it doesn't stop at every floor, so you may still have to walk a short distance up or down stairs), along with a steep staircase that still has its carved old balustrade. Overlooking the back garden, which is illuminated at night, is a magnificent breakfast room that seems not to have been touched since the 17th century. On the parlor floor, there's a cozy Victorian-era saloon, and if you can get it, room no. 26 has a panoramic view of the canal.

Facilities:
Lounge; limited room service
