We booked on short notice and based on the website pictures and some reviews. As always, you never know if the actual hotel is as beautiful as the pictures on the website, there was no doubt we were in the right place. It was warm (considering it was February and -25C without the wind), not pretentious (but classy) and the staff were pleasant, helpful and volunteered useful information. Some hotels you have to do all the work by asking 100 questions, they answered your questions before you could even ask. We were lucky to be upgraded and had a beautiful King Size room with double jacuzzi with a view of the river. The room was welcoming and warm, the food was delicious and the rates were very reasonable. A rare find - definitely recommended.
