Nice place but avoid room 104.
Pros:

Good place great location very clean good amenities.

Cons:

Just don’t get room 104 ( ground flr end of the corridor). Appears the bins are on the other side of the wall from your headboard so every morning round 3 or 4am they get collected. You can tell they’re trying to be quiet but the walls are thin and every morning you get woken by the noise and a thud on the wall.

Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor Kyoto
Pros:

De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien. Goede uitvalsbasis om de stad te verkennen en goed bereikbaar met de bus (en metro op iets grotere loopafstand). Hotel maakt gebruik van cijfercodes, waardoor je geen sleutel of pasje hoeft te bewaren.

Pros:

Очень удобное расположение: несколько минут до пешеходной улицы с сувенирами, до Kenninji Temple, Киёмидзу-дэра, до района Гион (район гейш), до множества других красивых храмов.
Гостеприимный персонал: подтвердили поздний заезд после закрытия стойки регистрации и разрешили оплатить на следующий день, можно было оставить чемоданы в день отъезда после выезда.

Pros:

Le personnel.
Le fait d'avoir un code plutôt qu'une carte.
L'emplacement.
L'équipement.

Cons:

Il y avait de la poussière au niveau de la tête de lit. Je trouve ça dommage car avec des allergies, ce n'est pas idéal...

Accommodatie bij het Gion district
Pros:

Het is meer een apartement dan een hotelkamer.
Bij binnenkomst is er een keukentje met kookplaat, wasbak, koelkast en magnetron.
Daarachter is het toilet en de wasmachine en daarachter is de badkamer.
Verder is er een ruim bed, twee stoelen en een laag tafeltje en een ruime kast waar je je bagage kwijt kunt.
De accomodatile ligt in een relatief rustige straat.
De pagode en het beroemde straatje zijn vlakbij.
Aan de rand van het Gion district.

Cons:

Voor ontbijt moet je zelf zorgen.
Wij vonden het lastig om 's avonds in de buurt een restaurantje te vinden. Er was veel gesloten.

Прекрасный современный отель для проживания
Pros:

Останавливались в этом отеле в Киото — впечатления прям очень тёплые.
Сам отель уютный, с приятной атмосферой спокойствия, как будто попадаешь в другой ритм жизни. Всё чисто, аккуратно, видно, что за порядком следят. Номер большой, очень комфортный и продуманный: ничего лишнего, всё на своём месте, и реально удобно жить.

Отдельно хочется отметить персонал — максимально вежливые и доброжелательные, всегда готовы помочь, даже если вопрос мелкий. Чувствуется искреннее отношение к гостям, а не просто “формальный сервис”.

Локация тоже удачная: тихий район, но при этом легко добраться до храмов, достопримечательностей и центра города. После прогулок по Киото особенно кайфово возвращаться в такое спокойное место.

В общем, отель оставил очень приятное впечатление — комфортно, чисто и с тем самым вайбом Киото, ради которого туда и едут.

Cons:

нет минусов

Excelent
Pros:

Apartament pozitionat central, langa templul Kiyomizu-dera, statie de autobuz la cateva minute, am putut sa lasam bagajele si la check-in si la check-out. Baia impartita, dusul intr-o camera, wc incalzit in alta camera si chiuveta separat ceea ce a fost foarte confortabil pentru 4 persoane. Exista microunde si frigider, noi nu am folosit bucataria. Paturi confortabile si ff curate, prosoape la discretie, prize doar japoneze, fara adaptoare pentru Europa. In vecinatate e un 7Eleven.

Cons:

Totul perfect!

Great stay and would love to return.
Pros:

Felt very traditional. A real experience for a new visitor to Japan.

Cons:

The only very minor issue was that there was no dryer to go with the washing machine.
