熱いか寒いかは、個人の感覚である。次に泊まる気はない。
Cons:

部屋が寒く風邪をひいてしまった。全館18度に設定しているとのこと、各部屋では調整ができないとのことであった。
毛布を一枚増やしてくれて、寒さをしのげとのことであった・

A charming old-world property, but the cramped room and tiny bathroom made it feel underwhelming
Pros:

While the property has its old-world charm and the feel of a traditional hotel, the overall experience was a little disappointing given the price we paid. The room felt quite cramped, and the bathroom was exceptionally small, making the stay less comfortable than we had expected. For the price point, we were hoping for more spacious and comfortable accommodations.

Pros:

Hotel muy bien ubicado, con practicamente entrada al metro casi en la misma puerta y a 2 minutos de la estacion de tren de la linea Hankyu , muy comodo paravir o venir desde Osaka.
A unos pocos minutos a pié de la zona de Kawaramachi y mercado Nishiki. Se puede ir andando a Pontocho y Gion en un paseito.numerosas lineas de bus en las inmediaciones .
Muchas comodidades en la habitación, incluido cargadores para móvil, además son bastante más amplias de lo habitual en Japón.
Starbucks en la planta baja, y numerosos sitios para tomar cafe y un desayuno alrededor a muy buen precio.

Cons:

Nada.
