4 giorni a Kyoto
Pros:

La zona tranquilla vicino al parco, ai negozi e al fiume.. La stanza piccolina, ma dotata di tutti i comfort. Bagno piccolo ma funzionale e pulito.
Ci hanno pulito la stanza a metà soggiorno e cambiato gli asciugamani, gratuitamente su richiesta.Lo staff gentile e disponibile per ogni richiesta. The e caffè a disposizione nella camera. La.peesenza di un umidificatore per aria secca. I prodotti per il bagno di alta qualità.
L'albergo in stile semi tradizionale

Cons:

Poco spazio per mettere vestiti e valigie, la lavanderia con monete da 100yen, difficile da utilizzare, perché istruzioni non inglese.
La stanza al piano terreno,accanto all ascensore avrei preferito averne una al terzo piano

always a pleasure. love the staff.
Pros:

cannot beat the location and the staff is fabulous.

Cons:

beds were so small (i'm 90 lbs and my husband is 120 &6' tall -we're tiny) we couldn't fit on one twin bed comfortably so had to sleep on separate beds. but that's fine.
