満足
Pros:

帰省で家族４人、3泊利用させて頂きました。主人の実家が近いこともあり、帰省の際はまた利用させて頂きたいです。
お部屋はお掃除が行き届いていて綺麗なのと、3泊不自由なく利用させていただきました。
特に、洗濯機と洗濯ハンガーが揃っていて浴室乾燥で乾かせたのと、バスタオルとタオルも日数分用意してあったのがとても助かりました。
また、レンタサイクルをお手頃価格で4台借して頂いき、京都市内をコンパクトに回らせてもらいました。
とても満足しています。また宜しくお願いします。

Cons:

下駄箱の臭いが気になりました。

Pros:

Comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Not a huge amount of room, but that's typical for hotels in Japan.

Cons:

Front desk not open 24 hours, which can be an issue if you leave early and return late.

We had requested a room on a lower floor and were put at the top floor, this was incredibly inconvenient.

There is no elevator, so it's very difficult to get suitcases up/down the stairs.
