Despite the name, this attractive midranger has its feet firmly on land, and as such represents brilliant value. The wood-panelled rooms are attractive, inviting and well maintained, and the rooftop sun lounge, pool, internet cafe, restaurant and quiet canalside location ensure you may never feel the need to leave. A nearby annexe increases the odds of snagging an elusive reservation.
