Nice place to stay but depending on circumstances it might be better to book elsewhere.
Pros:

The hotel rooms were clean, front door needs room key card to open after 9pm, free coffee 24/7.

Cons:

Walls were a bit scuffed, no laundry amenities or coin laundries close enough to the hotel. Windows allowed too much light early in the morning which could affect light sleepers. Location pretty far from everything in Kyoto, need to bus or taxi to most places.

Ein gutes Hotel mit geschmackvoller Einrichtung
Pros:

Sehr zentral in Tempelgebiet, auch zum Bahnhof ist es nicht weit. Danke an das Personal, das nach dem Auschecken noch unser Gepäck bis zum Abend verwahrt hat.

Cons:

Es gibt zum Frühstück zwar Brotaufstrich, aber keinerlei Brot. Sehr seltsam.
