Pros:

Porządny hotel z bardzo miłą obsługą. Fajnie, że dbali o dodatkowe atrakcje oraz wręczyli kuponu na skorzystanie z baru. Ciekawe śniadania i wygodne łóżko. Dobre miejsce jako baza wypadowa do zwiedzania Kioto. Dodatkowym atutem była palarnia.

Cons:

Pokój naprawdę bardzo mały, trzeba o tym pamiętać, jeżeli ktoś posiada duże walizki. My mieliśmy plecaki, więc nie było kłopotu. Zlew w pokoju może u niektórych budzić wątpliwości.
