一樣的價格，下次會考慮隔壁的另外2家飯店
Pros:

早餐雖樣式不多，但蠻好吃的～
距離京都站近，走路約5分鐘路程～

Cons:

1/19住1晚，另一次是1/25連續住2晚，5人訂3間房，不知道為什麼我們的房型都被安排在電梯旁，1/25有一間標準雙床房是開門直接面對電梯的門，真的很傻眼，要求換房，卻被換了一間也是在電梯旁卻比原本坪數較小的房型，連28吋行李攤開都很困難～
床更是離譜，鋪了一個較薄的床墊，很容易滑動，常需把它喬正，另外，床尾的2根床腳會有異音，所以坐在床上時會發出很像鐵的摩擦聲，實在是不好意思再要求換房，所以只能勉為其難住了2晚～
這次旅程共訂了4間飯店，只有這間飯店是住得最不開心

非常棒的住宿体验，距离京都站八条西口很近，只需要过两个马路，应该是这个距离里，又有早餐最好吃、性价比最高的一家，非常宝藏。下午14:00-20:00有迎宾酒水，出去玩回来正好就可以喝一杯。下次还选这里
Pros:

早餐很好吃，种类算是比较多的了，早饭就提供刺身，可以自己做海鲜饭。有的时候大厅还会有一些小活动，可以参加。地理位置方便，一般京都站出行的车可以选15分钟后的，出行计划容错性大

Cons:

洗衣机稍微少了一点，洗衣服会需要排队。建议增加洗衣机，在架子上多放一点洗衣篮。

Over all, it was a decent stay.
Pros:

Great location. Breakfast is affordable and good.

Cons:

We were not given the right number of key cards and then made us feel like we lost the missing key card. The rooms were very tight.
