Central Location cool style!
Pros:

Initially I was put off by being placed on the ground floor.
I thought it would be noisy we had the room right beside reception.. But it was absolutely fine.
Central location 15/20 min walk to kyoto main train.
Fantastic bathroom awesome shower pressure very new and modern! Nice bedding, fab room slides!
Close enough to walk to sights.
Do recommend!

Cons:

Having a room on ground floor..

Great hotel. Absolutely recommended. Nothing to complain.
Pros:

Great hotel! Really clean and comfortable rooms and beds. It was well soundproofed and really dark at night. It's centrally located so everything is easily reachable. Kyoto station, metro, bus lines, temples, cafes and restaurants are all within a short walk. The room was spacious and bright. We could store our luggage before check-in which was great.

Cons:

Nothing

Chambre spacieuse et bien équipée
Pros:

Grande chambre bien équipée, bien placé. Table et micro onde à l’accueil.

Cons:

La fenêtre de la chambre donnait sur un mur à environ 1m de distance. Dommage.
