War nur eine kurze Nacht da, damit sehr zufrieden
Pros:

Sehr gut, schön eingerichtet. Küchenzeile. WC japan-typisch :D alles akkurat und sauber. ~20 Minuten Spaziergang zur Kyoto-Station (noch näher Gojo-Station)

Cons:

Ich hätte mir evtl. nur eine Sitzgelegenheit außer dem Bett (und WC ^^) gewünscht. Es gibt aber im Erdgeschoss Sitzmöglichkeiten. Lichtverhältnisse im Bad etwas schwierig (viele Schatten im Gesicht durch Position der Lampe)

Basic but nice!
Pros:

Comfortable beds and an overall pleasant and clean hotel. About 10 min drive from Kyoto train station, and easily walkable. Friendly staff who were happy to help.

Cons:

The set up of the rooms made it difficult to have suitcases open and still be able to walk in the room without tripping over them. I appreciate space is always limited in Japan but this was definitely the smallest room we stayed in. The towels were also very thin and felt cheap although we appreciated we were provided with enough for a fresh set for each day.

Soggiorno piacevole, ma spazi molto ridotti.
Pros:

Una struttura accogliente, curata e confortevole, situata in una posizione particolarmente strategica: la vicinanza alla metro e la presenza di Kyoto Station a una sola fermata consentono di vivere la città con estrema comodità, unendo relax, praticità e facilità negli spostamenti.

Cons:

La struttura è curata, ma la camera è risultata davvero troppo piccola ed è necessario un certo spirito di adattamento. Anche il rapporto qualità-prezzo non è apparso adeguato, perché il costo richiesto non rispecchia né gli spazi offerti né il livello complessivo dell’esperienza.
