I decided to chance this hotel, notwithstanding the several critical reviews it received, because of all its obvious plusses: Location, Style, History, Interest. I am very, very pleased that we stayed.
We were treated extremely well from the moment we stepped out of our cab. Front desk staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and accommodating throughout our stay. The breakfast staff worked hard to make each guest feel they were special and succeeded admirably.
The breakfast was generous and the smorgasboard plates and tables kept full until well after the shutdown time for breakfast.
The rooms are furnished with antiques, but also with all the important modern amenties: comfortable beds, working bathroom equipment, good lighting and WiFi that also works.
This hotel is a charming gem, perfectly located, well run and maintained.
Ignore the Moriarties with their negative vibes and you will not be sorry you stayed. There are many negative people out there who just do not want to be satisfied.
For us, the Victory was a perfect, exquisite lead in to what proved to be an extraordinary, superlative Baltic cruise.
