Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

The only minor downside was that the taps made quite a lot of noise when turned on.
Other than that, everything was fine and I had a good stay.

The hotel was very clean but they need to invest in air fresheners for the smoking floor.
Pros:

Location was great and the staff were very helpful as we needed to change rooms

Cons:

We were put on the smoking floor which was not very nice as the smell was awful

手軽に楽しめるシティステイ
Pros:

徒歩での河原町や烏丸駅にもアクセスが良好で、飲食店も多く、街中でのステイには不便さは感じませんでした。
またの行き先に寄ってはリピートも検討したいです。

Cons:

朝食内容は悪くないのですが、ゴールデンウィークなどの長期連休については、もう少しメニューを増やすなど地物を含めた物を追加して欲しかったです。

Pros:

Super close to the Karasumasen, basically get on the elevator and turn right is right there. Also close to all the must visit spots. Room is clean and fairly large considering the price I spend for. Definitely recommend this hotel for visiting Kyoto.

Cons:

Bathroom is a bit tiny, but understandable.

Pros:

Nous avions pris une chambre traditionnelle, nous étions 4 (2 adultes et 2 enfants) et avons apprécié la taille de la chambre et les rangements. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment bien et tout le monde a trouvé son bonheur. Il y a une station de métro et une station de bue très proche de l'hotel.

Cons:

La chambre peut paraitre défraîchie mais cela ne nous a pas posé de problème
