Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. Stay away from the breakfast!
Pros:

lovely little hotel with super friendly staff. Nice size room and great location with the subway just across the street. Walkable to most attractions. Free tea/coffee and juices in reception

Cons:

Breakfast was very poor, despite it being 'free' it was unpleasant. Cold, wet scrambled egg on a paper pate from the fridge with a slice of 'ham' warmed in the microwave, a mini croissant and a small yogurt cup. Would be better off just doing some croissants and pastries and the tea/coffee. We stayed for 4 nights and only had breakfast once, couldn't face it again!

Lovely 4 night stay in kyoto
Pros:

The bed were the most comfortable so far on our trip to Japan. My favourite thing was the toilet automatically opening when you stepped in the bathroom 😭. Hotel staff were lovely and polite, rooms lovely and roomy. a hybrid between a ryokan and aparthotel vibe.

Cons:

The breakfast definitely left much to be desired.

Ok(ish)…
Pros:

Nothing to write home about… location was ok. The power shower stole the show.

Cons:

The breakfast was awful… microwave eggs- really? One staff member was rude… probably the only one in all Japan.

Pros:

The hotel was super clean and felt really luxurious. The shower was a notable feature, it really was the best. The bedding was also so comfortable compared to many places I’ve stayed in.

Cons:

A ten minute walk into the main town, not horrible but worth noting.

Perfect in alle opzichten
Pros:

Echt alles beviel! Dit hotel is echt 5-sterren waard. Van de kamer tot aan het ontvangst, alles was perfect. Ze hebben ook heerlijke thee die je beneden kan pakken

Cons:

Echt het enige wat niet beviel was het ontbijt. Dit hebben we de rest van de dagen geskipt
