今までで最低なホテル
Pros:

無し

Cons:

部屋に窓が無く換気が出来ない。
エアコンからカビ臭が酷く、体調を崩しました。
アメニティも他と比較して非常に劣る質だった。
家族と行ったが、ラブホテル街にあり親として気まずかった。
チェックアウトも箱に鍵を返すだけで、苦情も言えず困った。
二度と利用したくありません。

Pros:

The hotel’s facilities were in very good condition, showing care despite their previous use. The owner was extremely kind and helpful at all times, always willing to assist with anything I needed.

However, the location is extremely far from almost everything in Kyoto, so if you don’t have your own transportation or aren’t prepared for long walks, it may not be the most convenient choice. That said, the owner kindly offered the use of a bicycle, which would likely make getting around the city much easier.

Despite the distance, I had a good experience and was able to rest comfortably. Overall, a pleasant stay with very attentive hospitality.
