Pros:

Beautiful house and garden. Very nice room and private onsen. Excellent breakfast.

Cons:

The room we had the first night was facing the main road and there was some trafic noise. We changed to a more quiet room not facing the main road.

Top, allez y les yeux fermés!
Pros:

Tout! Superbe chambre, service impeccable, petit déjeuner traditionnel incroyable!
Le bar le soir avec les boissons incluses.

Cons:

Juste le fait que sans réservation on ne peut pas dîner, même sur le pouce à l’hôtel. Peut être prévoir des “au cas où”

Изысканный атмосферный отель с отличным сервисом!
Pros:

Очень атмосферная гостиница с чрезвычайно высоким уровнем сервиса! Прекрасный внимательный персонал! Гостинице всего 1 год, номера большие, чистота , удобные кровати! К сожалению, не удалось попасть на ужин, необходимо бронировать заранее, завтрак был совсем не европейский, при этом изысканный и плотный… Особый шик - онсэн в номере!

Pros:

Para alguien que busca algo fuera de lo normal este hotel el Kyoto es perfecto. La habitación estilo occidental es enorme, con gran atención al detalle, la arquitectura y decoración de todo el hotel es estupenda y muy acogedora. El personal es muy amable y atento y el desayuno japones tradicional, aunque dificil para un occidental, es muy bueno y toda una experiencia.
Servicio de bebidas gratuitas por la noche en el salon principal.

Cons:

Al ser un edificio histórico las ventanas de la habitación occidental son antiguas restauradas y no de doble cristal, se filtra ruido del tráfico.

Pros:

Wonderful traditional hotel – highly recommended!

The hotel was very beautiful and spotlessly clean, with a charming traditional style. We stayed in room 12 on the first floor, which had its own private garden and a 40°C hot bath just for us, such a special experience! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They even drove us to the next JR station when we checked out, which was a lovely gesture. I can highly recommend this hotel to everyone, it’s something you really have to experience!
