Pros:

A localização do hotel é muito boa. Próxima de atrações turísticas e de serviços de transporte público (metrô e ônibus). O tamanho do quarto é ótimo, sendo a mini cozinha e máquina de lavar roupa bastante conveniente

Cons:

O isolamento acústico do quarto não é dos melhores, para não dizer ruim. Em algumas noites tivemos que conviver com barulhos de passos do quarto acima, que era muito incômodo, especialmente tarde da noite. O problema foi relatado na recepção, que se prontificou em conversar com os vizinhos de cima, mas é uma solução pouco efetiva se no dia seguinte os barulhos retornam.

Prima
Pros:

Super fijn dat we een wasmachine hadden. Badkamer was ook fijn en de service was goed. Op loopafstand van een lief straatje met winkeltjes en eet tentjes, en higashiyama metro station. Nishiki market en teramachi op kwartier lopen. Veel tempeltjes in de buurt!

Cons:

We kregen geloof ik een kleinere kamer (voor minder personen) dan we hebben betaald. Er was geen tafel of zo om aan te zitten/eten. Dus je kon wel koken, maar had geen plek om te eten. Heel onhandig als je met zes man bent. Er was een super klein laag tafeltje/nachtkastje tegen de muur.

Spacious and good value for money
Pros:

Location was great, quiet but very close to transportation and some of the more touristy areas. Very spacious room and bathroom for Japan standards. Comfortable beds. Ability to do laundry without having to pay extra.

Cons:

Walls are a bit thin so if your neighbours are not respectful, noise levels can be an issue. We only had a problem for one night and the rest were very quiet.

Value for your money.
Pros:

We loved having a bath tub after all of the walking we had done and having a washer in the room was very helpful.

Cons:

The location of gion it was in was further away then we had anticipated from the main things that we ended up going to in that area.

Great location in an interesting neighbourhood.
Pros:

We loved the location, close to some of the shrines and walking distance to Gion district. There were some great little restaurants and daily marts nearby. It was also great to be able to wash clothes and to have a good little refrigerator.

Cons:

It was a little hot under doonas at night.

Tiszta, jó elhelyezkedésű, a személyzet nagyon segítőkész volt.
Pros:

Mindenhez közel volt gyalogosan is a vasút kivételével

Cons:

Európaiaknak jó lenne a konnektor átalakítója, a szemetet zacskóba kellett gyűjteni.
