Great location with easy check in
Pros:

Great location, easy check in. Room was modern. There was a Lawson very close. Staff allowed us to drop bags off before check in and when we went back to check in they had been secured in our room. Great customer service

Cons:

The bed was a little firm for my liking.

Leider nicht den Preis wert.
Pros:

Es war sehr zentral in Gion mit vielen Restaurants in der Nähe. Es gab einen Raucher Raum und eine Waschmaschine und Mikrowelle.

Cons:

Es war durchgehend sehr laut, da das Hotel in einer Seitenstraße mit Clubs und Escort Damen liegt. Diese stehen an der Straße und bieten sich an.. Die Zimmer waren in die Jahre gekommen, risse in den Wänden, es gab keine Möglichkeit das Zimmer abzudunkeln, ab 6:00 Uhr morgens war es Tag Hell im Zimmer.. das Betr war für zwei Personen recht klein und sehr niedrig.

Great and comfortable hotel in the heart of Kyoto, able to explore all locations with ease and so close to some great re
Pros:

Location is perfect, so close to everything and ideal if you want to hit all the main spots within Kyoto. Also be dry close to some great restaurants

Cons:

Beds could have been more comfortable and some curtains or blinds would have been good. Although not sure if they are trying to keep to the traditional style with this.

Location was nice.
Pros:

The location was great. The people were nice.

Cons:

The windows were made of textured glass that blocked any view to the outside world and didn’t open. It might be a personal thing but I hate not seeing outside. I wasn’t expecting a nice view but I was expecting to be able to see something, anything!

Decent hotel in nice location
Pros:

Lovely location in Gion, and right next to a Lawson. Room was small, but we were able to have 1 suitcse open at a time which was nice. Bath/shower was in a separate room.

Cons:

The washing machines in the laundry room did not dry clothes very well, which meant we had to try to hang all our clothes in the room to dry. The toilet and sink are in separate rooms, which makes it a bit annoying to walk to another room to wash hands.

Pros:

Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut und man hätte sich auch kostenlos einige Beauty-Utensilien oder Gesundheits-Utensilien leihen können.

Cons:

Das WiFi ist sehr schlecht. Wir konnten abends nicht einmal etwas streamen.

In einer Nacht hat es von der Decke getropft. Ob es von der Klimaanlage oder vom Regen kam, können wir jedoch nicht sagen.
