Hospedaje conveniente cerca de la estación de Kioto.
Pros:

Está bien ubicado, relativamente cerca de la Estación Kioto. Te dan desayuno buffet y una cena generosa. Los servicios funcionan bien.

Cons:

De no ser un hotel de Japón, le pondría 10, pero el estándar aquí es muy alto y, para desgracia de este hospedaje, ya había estado en otras estancias mejor cuidados. Eso sí, nada de gravedad. Sin duda el hospedaje es una muy buena opción. En especial la cama, cobertor y almohada estaban raras.

Um boa opção simples e econômica em Kyoto
Pros:

O hotel tem uma boa localização porque fica relativamente perto da estação de Kyoto. Os funcionários são atenciosos e educados. O quarto é super confortável.

Cons:

O espaço de café a manhã, apesar de grande, fica muito lotado em quase todos os horários. A qualidade tanto do café quanto do jantar é um pouco mais simples, porém compatível com o preço que se paga.

Velmi dobrý poměr kvality a ceny.
Pros:

Pokoj je zařízený vším potřebným. K dispozici je i pračka a onsen. Nejbližší metro a autobus je vzdálený asi 350 m a na nádraží se dá dojít pěšky -cca 900 m. Hned vedle je supermarket.

Cons:

Měli jsme polopenzi a jídlo bylo hodně jednotvárné.

桜の満開の季節に
Pros:

この時期、どこのホテルも高くて泊まれないんですか、朝、夕食付きでお安く泊まれました。          大浴場もあり、ゆったり過ごせました。

Cons:

エレベーターから降りて、部屋まで行くのに外廊下を通って行くので、冬とか寒いかもしれないです。

Desastrosa, muy mal.
Pros:

Lo que me gustó del alojamiento:
- el personal, muy atento y ayudan en todo.
- la cercanía con la estación principal de kyoto.

Cons:

Que no me gustó NADA:
- Las camas eran una piedra ( de hecho lo mío era un sofá no sé por qué lo ponen como cama), las almohadas no lo eran, era un cojín duro (uno por persona, en recepción no querían darme otro aunque los vi en el almacén y me dieron una manta.

- La habitación es la más pequeña que he estado en mi vida, era de no fumadores y olía a tabaco que echaba para atrás.

-El “desayuno” de todo menos continental, había albóndigas, espaguetis, patatas fritas…

-La cena era casi siempre lo mismo, te hacían elegir con un par de menús y ya está, nada más.


No recomiendo nada este hotel, ni para una noche ya que las camas son de cartón piedra.

惜しい
Pros:

大浴場も朝夕食事もあって良かった。

Cons:

ファブリーズもなくて、汗臭い状態で寝た。

カウンターで少なめのもの100円でレンタルとかをした方がいいと思った。
