Chambre confortable mais mal située au RDC et manque de nettoyage des chambres
Pros:

Grande chambre mais mal située au RDC et donc beaucoup de passage et bruit de machine à laver la nuit

Cons:

Je n’ai pas apprécié le fait que la chambre ne soit pas nettoyée pour un total de trois nuits. La poubelle a été changé seulement le second jour à notre demande ( une des poubelles a été oubliée donc j’ai nous avons redemandé à la réception de la changer). Étant donné le montant de 250 euros par nuit, on attend à minima un nettoyage de chambre sur la durée du séjour de 3 nuits.

Easy check in, helpful staff, beautiful rooms!
Pros:

The room was beautiful! There was a lot of focus put into the decision as it was spacious and comfortable. The bed was huge!! The shower room was stunning and the staff were incredibly helpful. It was a bit of a walk into pontocho street and to Nishiki Market, but we enjoyed getting our steps in each day to balance the amount of delicious food that we were eating. The temples were absolutely beautiful as well, we visited Ginkakuji, Kinkakuji, Ryoanji, Adashino-Nembetsu, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. We walked around and saw a lot of amazing architecture as well as being super close to convenience stores and a few eateries!! We very much enjoyed our stay!!

Cons:

Nothing at all! It was all amazing.

Pros:

Stayed at Legasta in Kyoto and absolutely loved this room! It was really spacious (which is a big plus in Japan), and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

I stayed in a basement room and honestly, it was totally worth it — quiet, comfortable, and great value.

The location is also really good, making it easy to get around and explore the city.

Would definitely stay here again!

3 Sterne wie man es kennt
Pros:

Die Größe des Zimmers war sehr gut. Personal war auch sehr freundlich. Die Lage des Hotels war sehr Zentral.

Cons:

Das Bett war zu schmal und die Kissen waren zu weich. Für tägliche Sauberkeit muss man extra bezahlen. 1 mal Kostenfrei. Frühstück sehr einfältig also hat unseren Erwartungen nicht erfüllt.

Great stay, very comfortable beds
Pros:

The room was very spacious and clean, beds were super comfortable. This was our favorite hotel from our Japan trip! The staff was very kind and helpful. We had breakfast included, it was simple but always good (small bread and croissant with scrambled eggs and ham + small bowl of yoghurt or açaí with fruits). Location was also great, close to a metro station and walking distance from Gion and shopping street.

Cons:

Nothing we can think of!
