Excelente opción en Kioto con servicio adicional de snacks y bebidas
Pros:

Me encantó que el hotel sirva un servicio adicional a la tarde con bebidas, snacks, cervezas, vino, te, café que después de un día de tour viene de 10. La habitación es linda, la cama cómoda y quiero destacar lo bien que sale el agua para bañarse, con una presión y abundante agua que hace que sea placentero. Inodoro electrónico.

Cons:

Que habia alfombra en el baño. No podíamos poner el aire acondicionado pero fue solucionado por personal de mesa de entrada.

Eccellente il rapporto qualita’ - prezzo
Pros:

Il rapporto qualita’- prezzo di questa struttura e’ eccellente. Posizione bellissima di fianco ad uno scenografico ruscello e a pochi passi dalla metropolitana. Camera ampia. Letti e cuscini comodi. Buffet delle 18 con aperitivo e caffetteria offerto dall’albergo. Se si desidera la pulizia giornaliera della camera va richiesta esponendo il cartello sulla porta ogni mattina. Servizio di reception un po’ “difficile”. Ci sono solo due persone che parlano inglese, una ragazza e un signore inglese. Se serve qualcosa, un taxi, un ristorante, ecc meglio chiedere a loro. Le altre persone di affidano al traduttore ma ci sono comunque difficolta’ a capirsi.

Klein aber fein
Pros:

Sehr ruhiges und komfortables Hotel. Sehr nettes Personal
Sehr gutes Frühstück!

Cons:

Das Zimmer war eher klein.
Es war alles top, aber 5 Sterne Bewertung finde ich leicht übertrieben…

Pros:

Tassel Hotel Sanjo was a fantastic place to stay in Kyoto. The location is ideal right near the metro, within walking distance to the Gion district, and just across the bridge from more modern shopping areas, so you really get the best of both worlds.

The room was noticeably larger than most places I’ve stayed in Japan, which made it especially comfortable, and the shower was excellent. They also offered complimentary drinks in the evening, which was a great added touch. Overall, it was a perfect stay and I’d absolutely come back.

Cons:

Only thing was the “king bed” was just two twins squished together but overall very nice
