Pros:

Der Ausblick auf den Kyoto Tower war toll!

Cons:

Die Klimaanlage war nur schwer in den Griff zu bekommen.

Beim Versuch meinen Amazon Firestick am TV anzustecken, war da zentimeterhoher Staub.
Das hab ich in noch keinem japanischen Hotel gehabt.

Pros:

Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Wir waren vor dem eigentlichen Check-in bereits dort , konnten unser Gepäck alles da lassen. Als wir wieder zurück waren, hatte man unser Gepäck auf die Zimmer gebracht.
Die Lage zum Bahnhof ist super.
Wir werden hier wieder übernachten.

The best hotel in Japan that I've been at.
Pros:

This hotel was the best hotel during our 2-weeks stay in Japan. The hotel is located very close to the main Kyoto Station. Also you can have all the additional cosmetics that you need for free. There is also a very cheap loundry available. The rooms are large and comfortable.

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Good location but wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

Location is great. Super close to Kyoto station making it easy to travel around.

Cons:

The room was very old and dated. It wasn’t very comfortable and I wouldn’t say it was a 4 star hotel. It should be a 3 star. Very expensive for what it is.

Prima verblijf in Kyoto dichtbij station!
Pros:

Prima hotel, vriendelijk personeel. Top locatie! Prettig verblijf gehad. Bedden lagen comfortabel. De faciliteiten waren op zich ook goed.

Cons:

Had schoner gekund. Bij aankomst lagen er wat zwarte haren (niet van ons…) in de badkamer. Het beddengoed had wat vlekken. Roostertje in de badkamer stoffig.
