Estancia cómoda, céntrica y perfecta
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable para disfrutar del barrio de Gion. Rodeado de izakayas y servicios. La habitación da a la calle principal pero está muy bien insonorizada y es más grande que lo habitual en Japón.
Si quieres mandar tus maletas desde Kyoto a otra ciudad no hay problema. Lees el QR que te ofrecen y rellenas los datos con tu reserva de booking del siguiente hotel. Muy fácil y recomendado.
Volvería sin ninguna duda.

Cons:

No hay nada que no nos gustase.

Goed hotel voor bezoek aan Kyoto.
Pros:

Het hotel ligt heel centraal gelegen. Met de metro ben je zo bij de verschillende bezienswaardigheden in Kyoto. Dichtbij het hotel zijn verschillende restaurants.

Prima bedden en ‘s nachts was het rustig.

Cons:

Er is geen wasmachine maar een externe wasservice. Hierdoor moet je een dag wachten totdat je was klaar is.

Pros:

Брали номер с двумя раздельными кроватями. Номер нормальных средних размеров. Всё удобно и чисто. На ресепшн всегда можно было взять дополнительные зубные щетки и чай/кофе.

Cons:

Не понравилось, что заселяют строго в 3:00 pm. Мы приехали раньше на 2,5 часа и сказали приходить к 3, но чемоданы можно оставить. Потом мы пришли в 2:50 pm и нам снова сказали, что только в 3 - common 10 минут!!! Сидели ждали 10 мин…. Имейте это ввиду, кому важно. До этого были в Токио и Нагоя - такого не было.
И еще очень темно в номере. Освещения не хватает.
