My stay at the Ambassade Hotel was a good experience overall. The location was perfect, allowing me to walk to major attractions with ease, though the occasional nighttime noise from the street was a bit disruptive. The breakfast was a highlight with a wide selection, making mornings enjoyable. However, I found navigating between the interconnected buildings a touch confusing at times.

My stay at the Ambassade Hotel was truly good, thanks to its charming atmosphere and attentive service. The room was beautifully appointed with a stunning canal view, creating a serene retreat after a day of exploring. I did notice that suitcase storage was a bit tight and the furniture felt somewhat oversized for the space. but these minor points didn't overshadow my overall experience. I'd definitely return to this hidden gem.
