Incómodo y poco servicio
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel era buena

Cons:

Las camas eran extremadamente duras al igual que las almohadas, no te hacen limpieza diaria de las habitaciones, en estancias de 4 noches te podían hacer limpieza el tercer día, pero cuando pedimos el servicio nos dijeron que ya las housekeepers estaban ocupadas que debíamos pedir el día anterior (nadie nos dijo). Las habitaciones tienen un tamaño ridículo, son tan enanas que no se puede abrir ni una maleta, peor dos, las toallas del baño son tan pequeñas que parecen para secar duendes, el precio NUNCA justifica el servicio es un mal hotel y fue el peor de mi estancia en todo Asia

Buena relación calidad-precio
Pros:

Está muy limpio. Se ve nuevo. Nos ayudaron con el envío de maletas. Fuera del bullicio de Kyoto.

Pros:

We got the room on the top floor, the views were great, and the room was more spacious than other hotels that we stayed in Japan.

Cons:

The room smelled damp, and the smell did not go away although we were using the dehumidifier. There is no restaurant downstairs for breakfast, but konbinis in the area are great. No daily room service, but they leave clean towels outside your door. Room fridge was not cooling.

Cons:

No opening window in room for airflow. Shower in bathtub. Small bathroom. Double bed was 2 singles pushed together, no topper.

Pros:

very convenient to stay in. 6mins walk to train station, there’s literally bus stop in front of the hotel and bus stop 2mins walk away. 22mins walk to kyoto station (can also catch bus to/from kyoto station). Laundromat across the hotel.
The room itself is quite small but it’s cozy for me, i love the aircon.
