Pros:

The location is great, It is within walking distance to gyon district, nishiki market, and if you are up for a longer walk, you may get easily to Nijo Castel. It also is next to a subway entrance, which is very convenient for getting around.
Breakfast was good with a nice selection of both western and japaness food.
The room was big and confortable (although didn't look like the ones in the pictures).
The hotel have free wifi, which worked well.

Cons:

Our room did not look like the one in the pictures. Although it have the same distribution shown in the photos and had a good and comfortable size (even bigger than rooms in other hotels in japan), the general appearance of the room had an older vibe. In fact, the whole hotel felt a little outdated, for instance doors use traditional keys instead of electronic cards and elevators look like wooden boxes with small or none mirrors.
Another thing i didn't like was staying in a smoker room (although this was my fault). I never imagined that staying in a smoker room meant to be in a room with an strong smell of cigarette. Even the corridors of the floor smell of cigarette. But again, I guess this was my fault, lesson learnt for next time.

7人で十分楽しめました
Pros:

今回7人で3部屋、隣部屋を頂きました。中央の2人部屋で夜12時までみんなで飲んでました。2人部屋としては部屋の広さも十分で快適でした。チェックアウトも12時と十分余裕あり。朝食も悪くない。

Cons:

3人部屋は2人部屋と同じ広さで、ソファーベットそのもので残念でした。通常のベットが欲しかった。

良かった
Pros:

特別に良い部屋を案内してくれました。
感激！

Cons:

朝食が遅く８時過ぎたったためか残り物の状態のコーナーもありいろんな方が触っているサーバで取皿に取るのは考えてしまうと少し残念な気持ちになりました。
朝早いと団体さんが多くなるから時間をずらした方が良いと係の方が教えてくださりました確かに人数は少ない状態ですが食事が少し残念でした。
