Comfortable stay, centrally located, spacious and accommodating
Pros:

I loved this hotel! They had everything we needed and more. Origami for the kids, very welcoming and helpful. The hotel felt safe and quiet. The view was great. The beds were extra comfortable and the space was utilized well. Tons of space to spread out and be comfortable. My kids loved the bunk beds. I liked that the toilet was separate from the shower and farthest from the bedrooms so then no one was woken up if someone needed to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. It was easy to get to all sides of the city and especially Nijo Castle. Plenty of temples nearby as well. Would stay again for sure. Highly recommend.

Cons:

I don't think there's anything I would change. It was one of our best stays while I'm Japan. Keep it up! And thank you!

Pros:

Great location, easily accessible to many nice places around Kyoto
Bathroom lovely shower was great!

Cons:

Rooms felt like you could hear everything from above or below, we were kept up from the room above us walking and stomping around
No room clean at all through our 4 days
The other beds are literally just a thin mattress on the ground, kids were uncomfortable on the floor

convenient, spacious, friendly.
Pros:

It was wonderful to have a large dining table we could eat and work at, as well as a small kitchenette. Compared to a business hotel, this was spacious and even had a great view towards the mountains. The area around the hotel was super walkable, lots of little shops and restaurants nearby in all directions, but overall a quieter area so it was very calm and relaxing. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We couldn't open the windows, so it was a bit hot and stuffy. The airconditioner made a loud noise when it was on so we preferred not to use it. Luckily it wasn't too hot.

値段と立地で選んだがお値段以上
Pros:

フロントにスタッフがいること。チェックインが遅めでもいい設定だったこと。予定が変わり現地に早く来ても、スマホで伝えられたこと。フロントは日本人ではなかったが充分、対応できること。5人宿泊でも充分な部屋で非常にきれいで快適だったこと。トイレもバスも広い！バスタブも！オーバーヘッドで角形ワイドシャワー？が珍しかった。普通のシャワーもあり。隣に素敵なカフェが早朝からオープンしていること。駐車場がホテル並びにあり夜間は最大料金で停められたこと。駐車場は周辺にもいくつかあった。

Cons:

特にありませんが私たちの場合は、駐車場がついてれば更に最高だったと思います。
