We had a great time.
Pros:

Great location near public transport, shops and castle of Kyoto. Typical Japanese room with good amenities. Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

As it was a typical Japanese room it had no curtains but these paper closures, it was really bright at night cause of the lights outside. There is no breakfast at the hotel so you had to go outside to find a place for breakfast, that is not always easy as some bakery’s open only after 10.

Ótimo custo-benefício
Pros:

Meu quarto era gigante! A mesa de centro na sala foi o mais legal, utilizávamos para comer snacks antes de dormir e café da manhã. O quarto todo era bem espaçoso e aconchegante.
Leva em torno de 10-15 minutos para chegar da estação até o hotel, precisa fazer uma baldeação, mas é bem simples o sistema de metrô (e ônibus) da cidade.
O banheiro é sensacional, tem uma máquina de lavar e secar roupas no quarto!
Além disso, são poucos andares (5 se não me engano), então não existe filas de espera para descer e subir do elevador.

Cons:

O único ponto a melhorar são os travesseiros. São muito duros, e poderiam disponibilizar 2 por pessoa.

Excellent place offering a traditional home style with convenient location
Pros:

Excellent value, beautifully appointed, space to spread out and wonderful bathing room. Meticulously clean and central to a local neighbourhood, good art and design museums and shops as well as public transportation ( bus and rail) if you didn’t want to walk. Good local restaurants that aren’t full of tourists but offer a range of cuisine cooked very well.

Pleasant stay in Kyoto
Pros:

The location was good and not too far from public transport. The room was spacious and it was nice to have some kitchen facilities and a large bathroom including a tub. The traditional style of the room was really lovely and we enjoyed that it was themed.

Cons:

Some additional kitchen facilities would have been nice (like a microwave) and slightly more cleanliness of carpets and surfaces. A luggage storage room would have also been ideal as we had to leave our luggage out in reception which made us a little uncomfortable, but the staff kindly brought it up to our room when it was ready which was nice.

Family of 4 stay
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

There was no staff at reception desk when we arrived to check in and when we attempted to contact using contact details provided, there was no answer. The futon beds were also uncomfortable so we all did not sleep well during our stay.
