I found the hotel to be perfect for our stay. The scene from the window of my room was picturesque and I really loved the fresh apples in the hallway every day. I will definitely come back again.

The location of the hotel is perfect. Our room (one of their suites) had 3 large picture windows with views of the river and the Parliament Building. It was spacious, with a large master bath and a living room and even a separate single toilet. Everything was impeccable, beautiful decor, old world architecture, but new world amenities.
