Alloggiato presso la struttura per 3 notti. Il personale non é stato cordiale come invece sono stati gli altri soggiorni
Pros:

La posizione rispetto a ciò che c’é da vedere nella città!

Cons:

La scarsa pulizia della camera in cui abbiamo alloggiato (rinvenuti tanta polvere, dei calzini sporchi non nostri sotto il letto e un’unghia finta non nostra).

Very clean hotel with friendly staff, a great location, and excellent value for money, but the repetitive breakfast sele
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was exceptionally clean and provided everything you might need during your visit. The rooms were spacious enough, comfortable, and had a pleasant atmosphere. One of the nice touches was the complimentary drinks available in the lobby, which guests could enjoy at any time. There are also laundry machines on the second floor that can be used for an additional fee, which is very convenient for longer stays. The location is excellent, with bus stops just a short walk away. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.

Cons:

One very important aspect of any hotel stay for me is breakfast, and unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. The breakfast was exactly the same every morning and was served in a pre-set box. The selection simply wasn’t to my taste, so I ended up skipping breakfast on most days. Fortunately, the hotel also offered croissants that guests could help themselves to, and those became my breakfast for most of the stay. A bit more variety and flexibility in the breakfast options would have greatly improved the overall experience.

Pros:

L'hotel est bien desservi par les transport en commun, et est situé à 10 min du centre-ville de Kyoto.

Le petit-déjeuner est copieux et très bon qui est servi tout les matins.

La chambre était confortable, avec pas mal d'équipement comme un sèche-cheveux, un mini frigo où des bouteilles d'eaux sont offert le jour de l'arrivé.

Le personnel est agréable et présent en cas de besoin.

Cons:

La taille de chambre est un peu petite si vous avez des bagages volumineux ou si vous en avez beaucoup.

Attention si vous avez beaucoup de bagages, l'hôtel est situé à 10 min à pied de la station Shijo Karasuma.
