Antoinette Netherlands

Our hotel room was directly beside the canal in a converted warehouse. Although small, the room was very well designed with a glass door opening to the outside and good sized window. The breakfast was quite complete and well presented. The staff was very accommodating in storing our bicycle and in replacing a non-functioning reading lamp immediately. The location is right in the heart of historic Alkmaar.
