The hotel was located pretty close to everything which was nice. When we went in the room it smelt odd and the AC was not working.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ballast very much. It is located within walking distance of many things to do, see, and eat. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Our room was very clean and that was comforting.
The bathroom, while clean, has a few unique characteristics. The sink has very little room between the faucet and sink bottom. The commode is extremely low to the ground. We found it quite odd.
We would stay again requesting a water view room.

Maybe the local area is relatively humid. There was a damp smell as soon as I entered the door, and the floor was sticky. The tap water switch was broken at that time. Except for some staff at the front desk who were not very friendly, the rest were quite welcoming. The location is good, in the old city, it is convenient to go anywhere, and it is comfortable to take a shower.
