こんな感じなのかな？
Pros:

受付の方がとても感じよく対応して頂きました。

Cons:

部屋の壁の塗り替えをされた方が。お風呂の蛇口も固くて私では回せなくて大変でした。価格はお安いのかもしれませんが
施設の設備は定期的に点検された方が良いと思います。エアコン掃除も。

Pros:

Lokasyonu ve çalışanları çok iyiydi

Cons:

Çamaşır kurutması çok kötü, dakikası yazmıyor başkası kurumuş mu diye bakıp makineyi durdurabiliyor halbuki tekrar başlatması gerek. 1 buçuk saat kurutmayı kullanmamıza rağmen eşyalarımız ıslaktı dışarıda 20 dk da hallettik.

ottimo
Pros:

La struttura è a breve distanza dalla stazione, con una breve passeggiata è facilmente raggiungibile. Subito davanti e accanto, un Family Mart e un Seven Eleven. A due passi, letteralmente, un Tempio buddista davvero bello. Si raggiunge il centro a piedi, eventualmente con una fermata o due di metro della linea verde. Ho molto apprezzato il servizio per lasciare i bagagli la mattina del checkout, che ci ha permesso di guadagnare una mezza giornata abbondante per visitare Kyoto.

Orta seviye
Pros:

Konumu ve girişteki ücretsiz çay kahve makinesi mükemmel hissettirdi

Cons:

Odalar aşırı küçüktü, tek asansör çok kötü. 15 dk asansör beklediğim zaman oldu. Dışarı çıkabileceğimiz bir merdivende yok mecbur bekliyoruz.
