We've booked two rooms there for a stay with three grandchildren this summer. What with requiring two rooms most places for a 2 1/2 week introduction to Europe, price is a determining factor for us unless there are strong negatives.

A belated thanks for your comments. We did stay there and found it quite acceptable. The rooms were decent and the employees were friendly and helpful.
The breakfast room was crowded in mid-August, and challenging to find a table for five, but it was navigable. We actually quite liked the quiet little neighborhood and walked over the canal bridge one night to eat at the brewery-style restaurant on the other side of the canal. The price was decent and it was more than adequate for our needs.
