Pros:

Location is convenient. The bus stop is within 2 minutes. The lobby has so many comics and books, mostly Japanese but some English ones. The staff is friendly. I enjoyed the self-service drink stand in the lobby.

Cons:

Even though the room has a window, it is prohibited to open, so I felt a bit suffocated. The pillowcases had a little weird smell that I’m not sure how to describe, but not a big issue with the fragrance spray.

Pros:

L'hotel era davvero eccellente. La posizione vicino al castello di Nijo era perfetta per spostarsi. La camera era piccola ma funzionale, il personale cortese e disponibile. Ho apprezzato in particolare la signora delle colazioni che è stata gentilissima ad accogliere la mia richiesta di avere una colazione vegetariana e anche la signorina alla reception che è stata sempre paziente e disponibile.

Cons:

La colazione Giapponese non fa per me e non c'è un'alternativa internazionale...

Kleines, günstiges Hotel mit eigener Manga-Bibliothek.
Pros:

Kostenlose Ausleihe von Manga-Büchern aus einem großen Angebot möglich, allerdings der Großteil auf japanisch. Die Auswahl englischsprachiger Mangas ist überschaubar.
Das japanische Frühstück hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt.

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt nicht zentral, sondern im Nordwesten in der Nähe der Nijo-jo Burg. Zu Fuß zum Imperialen Palast kommt man in 10-15 Minuten, aber wenn es in die Innenstadt oder gar nach Gion gehen soll, wird der Bus benötigt.

Nära tunnelbana och sevärdheter
Pros:

Väldigt bra läge några minuters promenad från Nijo-palatset och tunnelbanestation.

Cons:

Frukosten - japansk sådan, förberedd i box - blev lite enformig. Jag hade gärna avstått visa av de upplagda rätterna.

Pros:

It was modern and had a great choice of comics in the reception. The rooftop was a plus when it was sunny in the mornings. The location was good, pretty central to surrounding attractions.

Cons:

The bed was so hard I had trouble sleeping and woke up aching in the mornings. I asked if there was a way of making it more comfortable, they provided an extra blanket to lay down on the mattress, but it didn’t help much at all. The staff were friendly, but I witnessed on multiple occasions translate apps being used to speak to guests. This creates a barrier and makes it difficult to communicate properly.

Wir kommen gerne wieder
Pros:

Zentral, nettes Personal und eine tolle Auswahl am Mangas zum leihen.

Cons:

Die Betten waren nicht sehr gemütlich. Ich bin aber auch als sehr großer und schwerer Europäer kein Maßstab.

Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage zu mehreren Bushaltestellen sowie Sehenswürdigkeiten. Restaurants und Convenience Stores sind auch in der Nähe. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war für eine Person vollkommen ausreichend und hatte alles was man braucht. Waschmaschine/Trockner konnte man gegen eine Gebühr nutzen.
