We won’t be back
Pros:

Good position. Coffee machine available all day

Cons:

Terrible pillows. Hard and lumpy.
Very ordinary breakfast. Pre made and you get what you’re given. Could save a lot of waste by asking people what they would like.
Not sound proof rooms.

Great stay in Kyoto if you want to be close enough to the center but without the craziness of Gion
Pros:

Hotel looks like a Spa Boutique hotel, very Zen. We loved it. Room bigger than Japans standard definitely. Beds super confortable and staff very kind. Bus station was 2 min walk from the hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast selection was limited. They should have more options as a big part of the clientele is western. We stick to bread and coffee for 4 days. Luckily there is a Familymart right next to it

Fantastico
Pros:

Struttura molto bella, pulita e curata, con inclusi gratuitamente bevande e qualche snack.
Posizione fantastica
Camera pulitissima, doccia separata perfetta, bagno ottimo

Cons:

Le camere hanno poco spazio per i vestiti ed essendo molto piccole si fa un po difficoltà. Si potrebbe sfruttare meglio lo spazio riservato al guardaroba

Pros:

Les chambres sont très belles avec un style japonnais, la décoration est originale et chaleureuse. Le métro est proche et la possibilité de se rendre en 20 minutes à proximité des temples et du parc du palais impériale.

Gorgeous little hotel, everything we needed for a couple nights stay.
Pros:

Loved the hotel, it was simple yet beautiful. It was clean and it was quiet and calming which is a nice feeling when walking into a hotel.

Cons:

Pretty happy with our experience and would say there wasn't anything we didn't particularly dislike.
