Cleanliness
8.4
Generally praised as very clean by multiple guests; occasional notes of dust under desks and one report of a bathroom drain smell reducing perceived cleanliness slightly.
Service
8.9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and accommodating (e.g., fulfilling window requests); check-in can be busy but service overall seen as strong.
Location
9.2
Consistently highlighted as excellent — near buses, shopping areas, restaurants and convenient transport links; a major positive across reviews.
Room Quality
6.4
Many guests complained rooms were very small/cramped (hard to open luggage, narrow gaps between bed and wall); a few mentions of larger rooms exist, but overall room size and layout are notable negatives.
Amenities
7.3
Amenities described as minimal by some (limited toiletries, cups not refreshed); staff and basic facilities are fine but amenity offerings are modest.
Value for Money
8.8
Multiple comments state the hotel is a good deal for the price and offers solid quality/price and location — overall seen as good value despite some room-size issues.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast was often described as good, but self-service setups can be problematic when large groups are present; overall F&B is positive but has operational issues at busy times.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall positive experience driven by location, cleanliness and helpful staff; main detractors are small rooms and occasional minor maintenance/cleanliness issues (e.g., drain odor).

Pros:

L'hotel è ben servito, vicino a sé ha molte fermate dei mezzi pubblici, combini, karaoke e diversi bar / ristoranti tradizionali.
Non abbiamo avuto nessun problema a muoverci con i mezzi.

È situato ad una ventina di minuti a piedi dal quartiere del Gion.

L'hotel mette a disposizione molti comfort nella hall, quali spazzolini, creme, rasoi, thé... usufruibili senza aggiungere costi extra.

Abbiamo sperimentato la spedizione delle valigie. L'hotel al suo interno non offre questo servizio, ma è convenzionato con un gestore locale che si trova a 5 minuti a piedi.

Davvero un Bell 'Hotel. Considerando che in Giappone le stanze sono veramente piccole, la nostra era grandina.

Pros:

Alapvetően minden rendben volt. A hotel elhelyezkedése remek, számos busz közvetlenül a hotel elől indul, illetve pár perc sétára van a metró, és rengeteg jobbnál jobb étterem, konbini és szupermarket van a közelben. A szálloda maga tiszta és csendes.

とても良かったです
Pros:

外国のスタッフが多く、少し心配でしたが滅茶苦茶皆様日本語お上手で。そんじょそこらの日本人より丁寧でした。意思疎通は勿論、対応としても問題ありません。24時間チェックアウト可能なのも嬉しいところでした。

Cons:

部屋に外国人特有の香水？のような匂いがして、窓を開けたりして何とか薄めました。苦手な人は具合が悪くなってしまうかも。ファブリーズとかあると良いかもです。私たちはハッカ油を使いました。
