Pros:

מלון מאוד חמוד, החדרים יפים וגדולים ובסך הכל אחלה מלון. כנראה שהייתי מזמין שוב.

Cons:

קודם כל הקבלה במלון כמעט ולא עובדת, השעות שלה מאוד מוזרות. בבוקר אין אף אחד, בערב אין אף אחד. יש להם אפליקציה ששם אתה כביכול יכול לדבר עם הקבלה אבל גם שם תמיד כתוב שהיא פתוחה גם כשלא. יש לך שאלה או שקרה משהו? לך לאחד המלונות האחרים של הרשת שקרובים. שלחת מזוודות למלון או שאתה רוצה לשמור אותם? לך גם למלון השני. שילמתי על המלון הזה למה אני לא יכול לקבל בו את השירותים האלה. והדבר האחרון זה הניקיון, המלון היה דיי נקי אבל כשאני מתארח שבוע במלון ומשלם לא מעט כסף אני לא מבין למה הקציבו לי ניקיון חדר אחד בלבד ובשעה ספציפית שהם קבעו. אם לא נוח לי? אם אני רוצה עוד נקיונות מעבר?

Comodidad y cercanía.
Pros:

Estaba muy bien ubicado. Cerca del mercado y a 15 min andando del barrio de Gion.
Muy cerca de una estación de metro y con un 7 Eleven a 2 min del hotel.
Te dejan un carrito con toallas y amenities en cada planta, así que, aunque no hacen a diario la limpieza, puedes cambiar las toallas cuando quieras.
No hay recepción a todas horas, pero es fácil y además dicen que tiene un hotel vecino por si hay algún problema que nosotros no necesitamos.
Nuestra habitación era amplia, ya que es algo que miramos mucho para nuestro viaje a JAPÓN. En este caben las maletas sin problemas.
La cama era cómoda.
La lavadora era de pago pero lavaba muy bien. Hay que llevar el detergente.

Cons:

Los cajones de el baño de nuestra habitación, no cierran y no paran de abrirse, algo que era muy incómodo para arreglarse, ya que no se quedaban quietos. Eso deben arreglarlo, ya que es incómodo y molestoque se te abra sin parar ya que tiene retroceso.
La secadora apenas seca y en la hab sólo hay 4 perchas, por lo que no tienes espacio para colgar mucho.
