  • All the staff were kind and welcoming, and their gentle service made me very happy.The room had tasteful, chic decor, was quiet, and the large bath felt like a luxury.Breakfast was delicious as well—I was extremely satisfied.It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but it was great for a peaceful stay.

  • I stayed here with my mother.We stayed for two nights, and we truly appreciated the complimentary upgrade from a Superior Twin Room to a Deluxe Room.We enjoyed having beer at the restaurant, soaking in the foot bath, and chatting with American tourists—it was such a happy, relaxing time.The Room was clean, luxurious, and very calming. The bathroom was spacious as well, so I could fully stretch out and soak comfortably. Everything we needed was provided—no complaints at all. The staff were kind, and their greetings were warm and pleasant.I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.
