The place was very nice and position is very good. The rooms appeared to be a little less cozy that what I guess from pictures but still ok. I was unlucky with the weather, so I was missing some furniture in the room to put my wet clothes to dry (like coat stand or something like that).

Great view and great location, but the atmosphere of the whole place was little bit lacking, not really a place for a meeting other people. Definitely to little toilets for a size of the place.
