    Stayed 1 night in December 2025

    “It exceeds expectations.”

    I thought it was a lively place, but it is in a quiet location. It seems like there is a river right next to it, and the view is really nice. There aren't any special amenities, but it's very satisfying for a one-night stay. They provide milk at the reception, and it tastes great. It's a clean and quiet location at a reasonable price. It's the best.
