Fantastische Lage im Gion-Viertel
Pros:

Freundliches hilfbereites Personal, das Zimmer war sehr sauber und für japanische Verhältnisse groß, die Lage ist fast unschlagbar (es ist so vieles Sehenswertes in direkter Nähe fußläufig erreichbar und sogar ein kleiner Lebensmittelmarkt direkt gegenüber), die Zimmerpreise sind für das Gebotene absolut fair.

Estancia cómoda, céntrica y perfecta
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable para disfrutar del barrio de Gion. Rodeado de izakayas y servicios. La habitación da a la calle principal pero está muy bien insonorizada y es más grande que lo habitual en Japón.
Si quieres mandar tus maletas desde Kyoto a otra ciudad no hay problema. Lees el QR que te ofrecen y rellenas los datos con tu reserva de booking del siguiente hotel. Muy fácil y recomendado.
Volvería sin ninguna duda.

Cons:

No hay nada que no nos gustase.
