Hello - i have narrowed down these two hotels - trip in mid august with my mum - i have been once before, first time for my mum - we will be doing typical tourist things and some nicer dinners.
Anantara - i have amex plat - for i get some benefits like a free breakfast which i know is pretty lavish, and the hotel itself is a 5star, looks pretty grand indeed and over the top. But i know this is a touristy area - and jam packed with people.
Estherea - Looks very charming - this is a 4star (vs above is a 5star). Probably smaller rooms - but looks very pretty and is sitting on a canal. Breakfast will be extra. But the hotel itself is done with a lot of florals, gets good reviews - and the biggest charm is to be by the canals. I am not sure if it has outdoor seating by the canal to actually enjoy or anything.
The pricing is close enough - Estherea is probably 200$ more expensive for including the breakfast. But wondering which one to choose? I am so split.. I have heard not so great things about the anantara location being on the Dam Square - but it does look so so extra and over the top. would appreciate some help here!! thanks so much
