5/5
+It's a charming beautiful place. Very responsive staff. We stayed one night in a private room. The room and common areas were clean and warm. The wifi worked well. Simple but delicious breakfast with a great view. Close to a large park, shopping center, bus stops. We walked to the center via the promenade and bridge (about 3 km). The room and services fully correspond to the description and photos. -There were a few harmless to humans tree bugs in the room. Not critical, but for someone may cause discomfort.
