快適だった。また利用したい。
Pros:

駅から近く、平安神宮周辺へ徒歩で行ける。大通りから少し中に入るので静か。掃除も行き届いていて快適だった。

Cons:

他の部屋でのゴトゴトとした物音は響くのか聞こえるが、その時以外は静かだった。
トイレに入って戸を閉めると、内側の壁が少しホコリ(カビ？)で白っぽくなっている。
ここは掃除の目が届きにくいのかなと思った。

A clean, comfortable stay in a quiet yet central Kyoto location near Gion
Pros:

We had a very pleasant 3-night stay in Kyoto.

The location is excellent! Very central and close to the famous Gion district, yet in a quiet and peaceful area. Public transport is extremely convenient, with a metro station and several bus stops just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the city.

The room was compact but perfectly suitable for two people with two suitcases, which is quite typical for Japan. Everything was very clean and well maintained, and the space was comfortable for our stay.

The staff were very kind and helpful, always ready to assist when needed. We also used the laundry facilities, which were very convenient during our trip.

A lovely surprise was discovering what might be the best mochi we had in Kyoto, from a small workshop almost next to the hotel where they make them fresh.

Overall, this was a very comfortable, clean, and well-located place to stay, and we truly enjoyed our time here.
We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Kyoto.

また宿泊したいです。
Pros:

事前に荷物を預かってもらえること。
お茶なども必要な分だけ自由に頂けます。
お風呂とトイレが分かれているので使いやすいです。

Cons:

シャワーヘッドの穴がもう少し細かい方が良いです。
そのため真ん中らへんからお湯が出ません。

満足
Pros:

アメニティが充実していた。
クレンジングや洗顔、洗身タオルもありました。
こだわりがない人はスキンケアは手ぶらで良さそう。
バス、トイレが別々だったので、ゆっくり湯船につかれた。強いて言えば、椅子と桶があれば尚良かったが手入れが大変だろうから致し方ない。
水圧もしっかりありました。
コンビニが近い。
観光地にも徒歩圏内。
静かな環境。

Cons:

星一つ減らしたのは、部屋が少し臭いました。
が、別部屋の息子の部屋は大丈夫でしたので、たまたまかもしれません。
