Pros:

Πολύ καλή περιοχή κοντά σε πολλά αξιοθέατα. Σε πολύ κοντινή απόσταση είχε στάση λεωφορείου. Το βράδυ στο δρόμο του ξενοδοχείου, μπορούσες να βρεις εστιατόρια και μπαράκια. Παρόλα αυτά ήτανε αρκετά ήσυχο. Πολύ καθαρό.

Cons:

Δεν μπορώ να θυμηθώ κάτι που να με ενόχλησε. Ίσως τα παραδοσιακά παράθυρα του Κιότο να μην αφήναν να περάσει πολύ φως στο δωμάτιο. Στην πραγματικότητα αυτό δεν με ενόχλησε ιδιαίτερα.

Udany pobyt
Pros:

Hotel w bardzo dobrej lokalizacji, blisko atrakcji i komunikacji. Pokój był czysty i zadbany, w pobliżu wiele restauracji. Miła obsługa i spokojna atmosfera.

Cons:

Minusem była dość mała łazienka oraz widok z pokoju bezpośrednio na ścianę budynku.

Pros:

Pratique et très bien équipé, l’équipe est dynamique et au service

Cons:

Des vues pas très agréables depuis les chambres : soit un mur très très proche, soit une petite rue à la promiscuité un peu gênante

Sense luxes però recomanable
Pros:

Habitació molt gran per ser Japó. Ben ubicat. Prou net. Sense pretensions però podriem repetir si està a bon preu. Consell: Kyoto és molt gran. Si la prioritat és estar a prop de Gion, és opció perfecta. Si no, valoreu zones més tranquil·les.

Cons:

Estava net però era un hotel molt bàsic. Cap luxe.

Laon Inn - central location!
Pros:

I liked the location - close to transportation and food. The room was spacious for one person, but would be tight for 2. It was also very clean, and the hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. Had some good restaurant recommendations, and tried to help me get a cab on a rainy day. The hotel also had a coin laundry and dryer, with a microwave and toaster.

Cons:

There was an odor in the shower, which i couldn't identify.

Great location.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Close to Gion, temples, shrines. Within walking distance.
Beds were comfy.
Our original room was 1 bed. The 2 of us could NOT stand up at the same time. The room was literally only 12 inches bigger than the bed. There was no space for 2 people. We asked if there was a room that was bigger and they were able to help us. Five nights was impossible. We couldn't even move around and of course no luggage.
So my advice to you: 2 adults, book the room with 2 beds. Then you'll have space to move around and open your luggage.
Kettle, cups, coffee, tea, toothbrush were available.

Cons:

Been in Japan 1 month already and have stayed in 5 or 6 places. I wish they would make use of the wall space with hooks and shelves. This hotel had hooks, thank goodness but I wish there were more shelves. We're living out of the suitcases laying on the floor.

100% recommend
Pros:

Loved our stay here! They had everything you could need, super location, very clean and friendly staff!

Cons:

Only slight annoyance was that you couldn’t control the air con in your own room, it was controlled by central management but this wasn’t a huge issue.
