Pros:

Hotel muy limpio, al igual que todos los de Japón en los que estuve. La habitación era estrecha, pero eso ya lo sabíamos, igualmente está bien distribuida y tener baño privado siempre es un plus. Cumplió con lo que buscábamos y a muy buen precio.

Cons:

No tengo quejas.

Great value and location for money
Pros:

Spacious rooms for Japanese standards, if ever back in Kyoto will again book here.

Cons:

Genkan is a little bit small, would be better if it’s bigger and would be nice to have some shoe box for shoes to be set aside

The hotel is very good if you're looking for excellent value for money. The lack of light in the room was a bit bot
Pros:

The location

Cons:

We were on the ground floor, and there was a very strong smell of damp. Furthermore, the room was very dark because the window was tinted.

Pros:

Nos ha gustado mucho la estancia en este hotel. La habitación estaba muy bien de tamaño para una familia de cuatro personas, algo que se agradece mucho viajando con niños y todo supercuidado y limpio. La lavadora y el sistema de secado para mi genial.

Al llegar tuvimos un pequeño problema con un futón, pero el recepcionista nos lo solucionó personalmente y con mucha dedicación, demostrando una atención excelente.

El hotel está en una zona muy tranquila, junto al canal de Shirakawa, apartada del ruido pero tiene una estación de tren a unos 5 minutos andando y se puede llegar caminando en unos 10-20 minutos a la zona de Kawaramachi, Pontocho, Gion, lo que lo hace muy cómodo para visitar Kioto. Aunque con 4 personas sale a veces a cuenta moverse en taxi desde una de las 2 avenidas proximas del hotel.

En general, una estancia muy agradable, tranquila y recomendable si buscas hacer turismo y estaf tranquilo.

Cons:

El hotel nos pareció genial. Por poner algo, para comer durante el día se puede encontrar alguna opción cerca con buena relación calidad-precio, pero por la noche nos resultó más difícil encontrar restaurantes por la zona. Aunque hay un McDonald’s cerca, un FamilyMart y algún restaurante, para cenar acabamos yendo normalmente hacia Kawaramachi, donde hay mucha más variedad.
Las 2 camas convencionales estan muy bien, las otras 2 adicionales aunque nosotros dormimos muy bien pueden parecer algo mas duras que los colchones tradicionales, aun asi como digo nosotroa dormimos perfectamente.
