Pros:

Beautiful property, very close to main train station. Staff were amazing

Cons:

Rooms weren’t very sound proof so could hear noisy guests in hallways all night. Bit of a hike to main areas but not an issue for us as we didn’t mind the walk/train trip

Cons:

Es war düster und Recht finster da das Zimmerman über ein einziges winziges fenster ohne tageslicht einstrahlung verfügt hat.

Würde ich wohl so nicht nochmal buchen.

Nettes Hotel nahe Hauptbahnhof in belebter Umgebung
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt 5 Minuten fußläufig zum Shinkansen Bahnhof. In der Umgebung (auch unten im Bahnhof) sind viele Restaurants und mit Bus oder Metro lassen sich die Sehenswürdigkeiten alle gut erreichen.

Das Frühstück war gut, mit Schwerpunkt auf asiatischer Küche. Auch der Kaffee (Thermoskanne oder Vollautomat) schmeckte gut.

Im Hotel gibt es mehrere kostenlose Waschmaschinen und Trockner, was sehr praktisch ist, wenn man mit wenig Gepäck reisen will. Das Waschmittel gibt es gegen einen kleinen Betrag an der Rezeption zu kaufen.

Unser Zimmer war schön eingerichtet, sauber und die Betten bequem.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind etwas ungünstig aufgeteilt. Toilette und Bad sind (getrennt voneinander) links und rechts vor dem Fenster, Da das Fenster dazwischen zusätzlich auch noch hinter einem kleinen "Zen Garten" liegt, ist es im Zimmer relativ dunkel.

Pros:

Located very close to the main Kyoto rail station with lots of eating and drinking places nearby. Nice modern hotel with good Onsen facilities on the top floor. The room was plenty big and had a good bathroom with a good walk in shower. Large comfortable bed. It was a very good choice for breakfast which was serve yourself buffet style with the option of freshly prepared omelettes.

Cons:

Nothing

Location, Breakfast Buffet and Good Room Size!
Pros:

Location location location! This one is right beside Kyoto Station. Next one is the breakfast buffet (Tempura for breakfast? Yes please!) It's a full spread with an egg station (it's hard to find a proper breakfast place in Japan, i suggest getting sorted before leaving the hotel). The room is spacious and clean as you would expect from a proper hotel. Each floor lobby has a stone garden design that makes it prettier.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

De locatie was echt super! Ontbijt was prima. Kamers waren groot en het bed ook!

Cons:

In de kamer zat een raam waar geen gordijn voor zit. Dus er kwam de hele tijd licht doorheen… Ook was er geen sfeer in de ontbijtzaal.
