“The genuine warmth and attentiveness of the staff immediately struck me, a sentiment echoed by the thoughtfully curated rooms featuring cozy sheepskin throws and excellent coffee. The restaurant provides well-executed, if somewhat pricey, meals, but the highlight for me was undoubtedly the sauna's serene views over the river. It's a stylish, comfortable spot with easy parking and a genuinely inviting atmosphere.”
