Pros:

L'Hôtel est dans un endroit calme, avec de nombreux bus à proximité (transports essentiels à Kyoto) ainsi que de nombreux supermarchés.
La chambre est spacieuse, très propre et les lits sont confortables.
Nous avions une chambre de style japonais, un mélange charmant d’un salon en tatami avec futons (très confort) et du confort de vrais matelas dans la chambre.

Cons:

La kitchenette est petite, un micro-ondes aurait été pratique, mais ce n’est probablement pas courant dans les hôtels.

失望
Pros:

地理位置，卫生。

Cons:

设施、服务。I was quite disappointed with this hotel for several reasons.
First, the bathroom has no wet-dry separation, and the door opens outward, which makes privacy very poor when sharing the room with others.
Second, the toilet does not have a heated seat. I’m not sure if this is common in Kyoto, but in Osaka this was standard, so this felt like a downgrade.
Third, I booked this hotel two weeks in advance, but the price dropped significantly just 2–3 days before my stay. I asked for a price adjustment, but the hotel refused. This makes early booking feel meaningless.
Overall, for the price (around 600–700 RMB per night during the off-season), this place is overpriced. I’ve stayed at cheaper hotels in Osaka with much better quality. I would not stay here again.
