Pros:

Hotel Apa basico.
Buena ubicacion, cerca del metro para ir a fujimi inari y al lado de la pagoda y la zona tradicional.
Eso si es una zona infestada de turistas pero va muy bien para tener todo lo turistico cerca.

Cons:

Depende de que habitacion te toque no vas a dormir.
Nos toco una habitacion que por motivos que desconozco tenis una puerta unida a la otra habitacion, a lo cual hay que añadir un guiri ingles que no se callaba y roncaba como un troll.
Podeis imaginar la noche que pasamos.

La parte positiva es que el personal fue muy amable y nos proporciono otra habitscion al dia siguiente la cual no tenia esa puerta y pudimos estar bien el resto de dias.

I stayed here before and this hotel and the service is excellent. Breakfast is outstanding 😋

Cons:

If there is one thing, I think that the bteakfast coffee maybe isn't perfect, sorry maybe it's just not my preferred taste 🙏
Anyway that is really struggling to find anything negative about your wonderful Hotel...

Consigliato se non si vuole spendere di più
Pros:

Camera più grande della media da me conosciuta per quel prezzo.
La presenza di un piccolo tavolino rotondo e di due sedie.

Cons:

Nessuna possibilità di riporre le valige se non sotto al letto. Nessuna possibilità di riporre i vestiti. Il passo

Sehr gute Lage
Pros:

Lage sehr gut

Cons:

Aussicht auf Wand in 50 cm Entfernung. Frühstücksbuffet passabel bis lieblos im Untergeschoss (ohne Fenster). Nur anfangs dort gegessen, danach lieber wo anders. Bad sehr eng. Keine Ablagemöglichkeit außer im eigenen Koffer unter das Bett geschoben.

Pros:

Location was good. It’s walking distance from temple and shrines and restaurants.

Cons:

The rooms were outdated. The hotel had an “aged” odor to it. It definitely needs some updated and deep cleaning done.
