Pros:

位置優秀、性價比高、備品充足、浴室寬敞

Cons:

隔音稍嫌不足，外側居酒屋的喧鬧聲偶爾會傳進房間，免費客用微波爐與烤箱在一樓lobby，加熱後再拿回房間不太方便

離公車站很近超棒，房間也很大，只不過過敏人要小心
Pros:

有一位櫃檯很帥，但不知道名字😓離公車下車處超近！去二年版花見小路等景點都蠻近的，房間算大的！

Cons:

設備偏舊，冷氣出風口蠻髒的很多灰塵，過敏人小心，整間房間都是黃光，不好化妝

Ik heb een fijn verblijf gehad in dit hotel. De ligging is uitstekend en vormt een groot pluspunt.
Pros:

Fijne dons dekbedden ruime kamer

Cons:

Een verbeterpunt is het ontbijt. Er werd uitsluitend een traditioneel Japans ontbijt aangeboden. Het zou prettig zijn als er ook een westers alternatief beschikbaar was, zodat gasten meer keuze hebben en er voor iedereen iets naar wens is.

Great experience and I’ll definitely go back when in Kyoto again
Pros:

The vibe with the whole Murakami “feel” in the lobby😍… old Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II INSIDE the lobby, the jazz music from old Onkyo equipment and the location in the heart of Gion district were just priceless 👍🏼👍🏼 also great breakfast and general amenities! I mean this place offers the whole package even if one where to show up with just the “clothes on the back”🤩

Cons:

I experienced “Japanese strictness” on rules in other hotels but this was a bit too much for a European traveller

It was alright. Great location made it worth it?
Pros:

Great location in Gion. Large room and large bathroom with tub. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

Run down hotel. Dirty carpets, outdated rooms smelling of cigarettes. Uncomfortable beds. Make sure you stay in the twin bed rooms if you want a real western mattress! The queen room had only a thin pad, incredibly uncomfortable. Luckily the manager let us swap rooms.

Pros:

The hotel was very clean and the rooms super big! The hotel is also perfectly located and is very quiet even though it is right beside shops and bars.

Cons:

The breakfast was only between 7am and 9am which was a little too early for us most mornings but that was totally fine for us.
