In a quiet location of Goin with accessibility to all areas.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable with good facilities. Staff were always cheerful and helpful. The super toilet was magnificent.

Cons:

If I had to say something negative was not being able to get a double bed rather only had two singles available. Had a very enjoyable stay.

Goed hotel. Comfortabele met weinig voorzieningen.
Pros:

Goede bedden. Zelfs voor een fijne pyama was gezorgd. De ligging is uistekend, midden in het traditionele gebied Gion.

Cons:

Er was s'nachts een alarm. Een vals alarm, maar helaas werden we niet door het hotel geïnformeerd dat we weer konden gaan slapen. De nooduitgang op onze verdieping kon volgens een andere gast niet geopend worden. Hij had echter niet hard genoeg geduwd bleek later.

Good hotel with room for improvement
Pros:

Location is super good in the sense that it was in the nicest area of Kyoto. Staff friendly. Bed was comfortable. Coffee machine in the room was good. Shower was nice . Separate bathroom was good. Size of the room was good

Cons:

The pillows were too big and they didn't have smaller pillows which forced me to use a comforter instead of a pillow and affected my sleep for the week we were there They should offer guests different size pillows. Windows can not be open without a key from the reception. There are some smoke detectors on the ceiling that has a bright light when you want to sleep at night. The room was a bit dusty .
