gorgeous building. convenient location. gorgeous view of the parliament building from our room.

Chad Canada

Location is absolutely great, walking distance to everything you might want to do/visit. The actual hotel is gorgeous, inside and outside, the staff is very helpful and willing to share tips or help if any issues. Gym is great, pool is a little small but ok, their restaurant/food is very tasty and you have many alternatives & options. Take a couple of hours and do visit the interior of the hotel as there are many places where you can relax and take wonderful pictures of the castle! Overall a great experience!

Madalina Canada

Everything was great! We loved the castle and its decoration per se. We loved our spacious room and its view. And we loved the complimentary cocktails offered by the hotel as we were celebrating 12 years of marriage.

Giovanna Canada

I liked how close to city centre it was, everything was in walking distance. It felt very luxurious for a great price, and the complimentary soaps smelled and felt absolutely luxurious as well, normally hotel shampoos dry out and damage my hair but this wasn’t the case with your soaps

Katie Canada

I believe I got charged twice as I had a visa card for check in and American Express on checking out
