Uno dei migliori Hotel in cui ho soggiornato in vita mia. Super consigliato !
Pros:

Hotel semplice ma eccezionale, ottimo rapporto qualitá/prezzo; dovevamo soggiornare solo due notti, ma poi abbiamo deciso di rimanere 4 notti.
Colazione eccellente, abbondantissima e buonissima, mai mangiato delle colazioni cosí buone; personale alla reception molto disponibile.

Cons:

La camera non grandissima, ma in tutto il viaggio in Giappone è stato quasi sempre cosí

非常によかったです。また機会があれば宿泊したいです。
Pros:

地下鉄から五条駅からすぐの立地　雨でもほぼ問題なし　Wi-Fi使え良かったです。京都駅から近いです。

Cons:

特にないです。　あえてなら、ユニットバスなので、トイレが少し狭いかも
