Nice hotel but too far away from the main attractions
Pros:

The room were clean and comfortable bed

Cons:

The location. It was far from all the main attractions. I either had to walk for a long distance or take a taxi to reach all of my destinations.
Also the breakfast options were limited and not Halal friendly at all

It was an exceptional stay and I would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

It was modern, clean & close to the station. Staff were very courteous and the breakfast was varied - Japanese & Western options. It was a pleasant 20 minute walk to the heart of Kyoto.

Cons:

Room was small but I’ve discovered most rooms in Japan are small.

Очень приятные впечатления. Выше ожиданий
Pros:

Очень качественный сервис во всем.
Часто сетевые отели справедливо обвиняют в безликости , но этот отель в очень тонком своем региональном стиле.

Cons:

Места для чемоданов в комнате маловато

Не стоит ехать ради имени Хилтон. Крайне средненький отель.
Pros:

Хорошо убираются, рядом много магазинов круглосуточных. Завтрак.

Cons:

Тонкие стены, хорошо слышно соседей. Туалет вонял в двух номерах. Отель хуже отелей с той же ценой и более бюджетных отелей и если выбирать между ним и другими, то я выбрала бы другой.

Pros:

Teyzesinin temizliği konumu rahatlığı gayet iyiydi

Cons:

Tesiste bavullari odaya götürecek ya da indirecek herhangi bir görevli yoktu otelin prensibi böyleymiş tabii ilk ilk kez gördük bavullarımız da ağır olduğu için çok zor oldu bizim için Hilton'a bunu hiçyakıştıramadım
