Pros:

Kyotoda merkeze yakın olmasından dolayı son dakika rezervasyon yaptık. Çok keyif aldık odadaki her şey çok temiz ve güzeldi. Oda kücük olsa bile odada cok vakit geçirmeyecekseniz rahatsız etmez.

Cons:

ışık ve pencereler biraz odayı daraltıyor

Pros:

It's super central and you can reach many locations by foot. Also close to public transport and there is a Lawson next door as well as many restaurants on the same street. It was very clean and modern. They provided fresh towels and amenities every day too!

Cons:

The bed in our room was extremely hard sadly, it felt like sleeping on a blank of wood.

Stanza carina ma rumorosa
Pros:

L'atmosfera della camera che ricorda un Ryokan è molto carina e accogliente. La zona doccia e vasca è grandissima e molto funzionale.

Cons:

La strada è rumorosa e ci sono molti club discutibili negli immediati dintorni, perciò durante la notte si è sentito spesso del rumore. Inoltre è praticamente impossibile aprire la valigia e trovargli una collocazione anche da chiusa.

Probable Worst hotel I’ve been in my life.
Pros:

At least average location close to good places but very crowded, dirty and sketchy.

Cons:

VERY dirty. The room was like a place that had not been clean since 2 months ago, only changing sheets and towells. Sometimes there was no staff at the lobby and the safe didnt work. The room was too small.

Einfach perfekt für Gion Erkundung
Pros:

Lage perfekt, Personal sehr sehr nett und hilfsbereit, Zimmer recht groß

Cons:

Das Bett selbst für japanische Verhältnisse doch hart und noch dazu recht wackelig, wenn sich der Partner bewegt kriegt man das sofort mit.
