We had a lovely time staying this hotel experience what it is like to live by the canal.
It may look little bit away from the central station but it was around half hour walking distance.
You can leave your luggage at one of their hotel near the station before/after the check in.
There is a super market just in front of the hotel and there are some take always, cafe and restaurant near by.
If you are not ready for a stay in boat house, this bridge house would be a good start!
