3 Sterne wie man es kennt
Pros:

Die Größe des Zimmers war sehr gut. Personal war auch sehr freundlich. Die Lage des Hotels war sehr Zentral.

Cons:

Das Bett war zu schmal und die Kissen waren zu weich. Für tägliche Sauberkeit muss man extra bezahlen. 1 mal Kostenfrei. Frühstück sehr einfältig also hat unseren Erwartungen nicht erfüllt.

Great stay, very comfortable beds
Pros:

The room was very spacious and clean, beds were super comfortable. This was our favorite hotel from our Japan trip! The staff was very kind and helpful. We had breakfast included, it was simple but always good (small bread and croissant with scrambled eggs and ham + small bowl of yoghurt or açaí with fruits). Location was also great, close to a metro station and walking distance from Gion and shopping street.

Cons:

Nothing we can think of!

A great location with easy access to everything we wanted to see and do in Kyoto. Unfortunately the damp/mouldy room
Pros:

The location of this hotel is fantastic.

Cons:

We had a basement room. Unfortunately there was black mould growing on the walls behind the sofa. The room smelt damp.

Pros:

Everything wonderful!
Great location, new building, very close to subway, bus, restaurants and tourist attractions.
Spacious cozy room, wonderful hot shower.

Cons:

Really surprised that after all the previous complains about the terrible breakfast, it's still terrible! Microwaved egg and ham...not good!
It wasn't a deal breaker as everything else was outstanding!

Great hotel in great location
Pros:

Excellent location (within 30 mins walk to many of the sights and well served by buses and subway for further afield). Staff lovely and helpful and the Queen bedroom we had was excellent (good size for the both of us). Just as importantly, war in middle east disrupted our ability to get home so we had to stay two extra nights. Not only were we able to book both those in the hotel but staff also arranged for us to keep the same room).

Cons:

For us the breakfast (which we received free with our booking) was good to set us up for the day. However, had we been paying for it then there are alternatives available around the hotel for a better price.

Pros:

食事の場所からすぐ近くでそのまま予約をさせてもらいました！遅い時間の直前での予約で、スタッフの方も最初気づかれていませんでしたが、すぐ対応していただきました！
ありがとうございました！

Cons:

トイレのウォシュレットが壊れていて、座ったら毎回何も操作していないのに作動しました（ ; ; ）ドライヤーの風量が弱かったので、もっと強いものだと嬉しいなと思いました！
