Ein wunderschönes, charmantes Hotel mit besonderem Flair
Pros:

Einfach ein mega schönes, kleines Hotel. Schon beim Reinkommen wird man von einem angenehmen Duft empfangen und alles ist wunderschön eingerichtet. Auch unser Zimmer mit Kajütenbett war richtig cool. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und den Aufenthalt total genossen.

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt in einem Quartier, allerdings ist das Stadtzentrum zu Fuss etwas weiter entfernt (ca. 30 Minuten). Mit dem Bus ist es aber gut erreichbar.

Piacevole, pratico
Pros:

Ho adorato questa struttura. Al di là della posizione strategica, il personale cordiale e la pulizia, la struttura era molto curata e con un vero tocco in stile giapponese negli arredi, nei colori e nell’architettura. La nostra stanza aveva il letto a castello (lo sapevamo) e mi ha riportato ai vecchi tempi di quando ero bambino. Il letto a castello peraltro era comodissimo e veramente solido.

Cons:

Tre note “negative”.

1)La chiave fisica -non la card-della stanza non era molto pratica da portare in giro. Per di più il portachiavi con indirizzo e numero della stanza attaccato alla chiave a mio avviso rende poco sicuro portare la chiave in giro. Se malauguratamente dovesse essere persa, chi la trova saprebbe a chi restituirla ma potrebbe anche potenzialmente entrare in camera se fosse malintenzionato. Suggerisco di dotare le camere di card o di dare la password della key box alla porta della stanza per poter lasciare la chiave in hotel.

2) La cassaforte con la chiave non è pratica, portarsi in giro una chiave per la città non è pratico.

3) Dalla strada la struttura si vede un po male. Quando siamo arrivati pensavamo di aver sbagliato e ci abbiamo messo un po’ a trovare la struttura. Forse una piccola insegna sarebbe utile!

4 night with family of 4. 2 college age boys.
Pros:

Safe, clean, lovely staff, comfy bed, charming look. The kitchen and washing machine were really convenient and we loved the traditional bath

Cons:

We loved this Machiya. The shower door is clear which makes it a little tricky at times but we managed

Pros:

Limpeza e amenities

Cons:

Quarto pequeno para a quantidade de móveis que colocaram. Não cabia a mesa de jantar e a estante tem tamanho exagerado, assim fica apertado para as pessoas circularem no ambiente.

Pros:

La struttura è molto carina ed accogliente, in una bella zona della città anche se i mezzi di trasporto non arrivano proprio vicinissimo. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile per tutte le richieste (pazienti anche nell'aiuto con la spedizione dei bagagli). Consigliato!

Cons:

La stanza è un po' piccola ma nella media.

Pros:

Staff were super helpful and friendly were really nice and helped me with luggage transfers

Cons:

Aircon was too loud and not great room layout also not the best it’s quite dark room and too many beds in could be better to have a pull out extra bed rather than 3 in the room all the time but the main thing was aircon

イメージと違った
Pros:

特になし

Cons:

京都の町家をイメージしていたが思っていたものと異なり残念に思った。化粧台ないし洗面所に鏡がないので女性は化粧がしづらい。
