Staff are welcoming and provided great and friendly support throughout our stay. While conditions outside were "Baltic",(-6to 8), + snow, accessibility was a challenge uphill. However, once in the door, warmth of staff and heating of Hotel,including room was cuddly. Food and service in bar/ restaurant high standard. Hotel itself is Old.. therefore maybe a bit worn/tired in places, but Staff and Atmosphere make up for that.
