最高でした。
Pros:

ツインの1人利用をしましたが、広く清潔でベッドの寝心地も良かったです。
お風呂は地下の大風呂に入りました。
初めての宿坊体験で知恩院へ早朝参拝もでき、感動的でした。ショップでもお目当てのお土産も買うことが出来て満足です。立地も良かったので夜は祇園は食事に行きましたが、宿坊でもう少しゆっくりしても良かったかなと思います。
次回は開館内で寛ぎたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Cons:

アメニティで化粧水乳液があれば身軽に泊まれるのかなと思います。
お茶も伊藤園の美味しいティーバッグがありましたが、コーヒーも準備してあれば助かります。

観光に便利
Pros:

ロケーション

Cons:

アクセスの内容でバス206系統が時計周りと反時計回りがあり、それぞれ乗り場が違うことを詳しく記述してほしかった。時計回り乗ってしまい到着に90分かかってしまった。

高齢の両親と紅葉を見に行くのに良いロケーション、施設でした。ブッキングドットコムさんでハイシーズンなのにお手頃に泊まれて良かったです。
Pros:

高齢の両親と紅葉を見に行くのに最適なロケーション、施設でした。携帯の充電が無くなり、初めての土地で携帯が無いと動けないので、チェックイン前にフロントの方に相談したところ快くしてくれて助かりましたし、ありがたかったです。

Cons:

出発前に一階のトイレのブラインドが朝日に照らされホコリが目立ち少し残念な気持ちになりました。
良くないところではありませんが、お寺の施設ですのでファミリーや若い方には不向きである程度落ち着いて過ごしたい方におすすめです!

Would have like to stay longer
Pros:

Beautiful location and views. Great size room. Enjoyed the public bath after a long day of walking.

Cons:

Not that it wasn’t liked but mean it more as constructive feedback to improve even more. The atmosphere and lighting in the restaurant for dinner needs a bit more warmth. Had the most amazing dinner but needs softer lighting to make it more cozy.

没有第一次惊艳
Pros:

地理位置闹中取静,就在知恩院这样标志性建筑的旁边,对于初次到来的旅客来说,搭车或者问路都比较方便。

最高!
Pros:

清潔で広々しており、祇園や東山など京都らしいエリアが近所なので観光の拠点として申し分ない。朝の漬物中心の和食も健康的で美味しかった。

Cons:

強いていうと、夜10時ごろに帰る時に辺りが非常に暗くて少し怖いこと。知恩院の表門から坂を上る道も暗く、八坂神社から円山公園を通る道もけっこう暗いので、女性の独り歩きはすこし怖いかも?と感じた。

立地が良く、駐車場も無料で利用できてよかった。朝ごはんもよかった。フルーツが付くとさらに良い。
Pros:

スタッフさんの気遣いがよかった。
寝具類が清潔だった。大浴場も綺麗な湯で、全然混んでおらずゆっくりできた。朝ごはんのお漬物の種類がたくさんあって嬉しかった。

Cons:

襖の枠(部屋の入り口と押し入れの襖)が外れていて、開け閉めするたびに大きな音が出てしまい、襖を持ち上げて動かさなくてはいけなかった。シャワーの水圧が弱かった。
