Pros:

Location is excellent as within walking distance to everything. Front reception staff speak English which was a bonus. Facilities are clean, our room was large for Japanese hotels (there were three of us). There is no restaurant or other services at this hotel but they do have a trolley of fresh towels etc available on every floor.

Cons:

Lack of luggage forwarding service although it was a short walking distance to have this done elsewhere. Beds and pillows were a little hard.

Muito confortável e vários restaurantes nas redondezas
Pros:

Quarto com duas camas duplas, casa de banho privada, espaço para sentar com mesa e bastante espaçoso.

Cons:

Prefiro ficar mais perto de transportes como metro ou comboio mas neste casa compensou pela tranquilidade do bairro

Pros:

The room was gorgeous and spacious and very clean! It was only a short walk from bus stops so getting around was very easy, and there’s a lot of good cafes and a bagel shop for breakfast in walking distance, I’ll definitely stay here again next time I visit Kyoto! :)
