Super hébergement à Kyoto
Pros:

Bien situé, à 5min de marche du bus ou du train, un 7-eleven juste en face, proche de restau de ramen ou mcDo pour les moins aventureux. Chambre confortable et plutôt grande pour les standards locaux. Personnel aimable et serviable. 2 machines à laver et sèche linge à disposition. Une salle avec 1 micro-ondes pour se faire chauffer à manger ou prendre le petit-déjeuner avec machine à boissons offertes. Super endroit pour passer un séjour à Kyoto.

Pros:

Kostenlose Getränke sind auf jeden Fall ein Plus. Zimmer war auch nicht zu klein und man ist schnell an der U Bahn aber auch beim Bahnhof Kyoto, also guter Ausgangspunkt für Kyoto selbst oder Tagestrips in die Umgebung

Cons:

Bett war mir persönlich etwas zu hart und die Decke etwas zu dick, aber Klimaanlage im Zimmer hilft 👌

Enjoyed our stay and location was good.
Pros:

The hotel was nice, but it did have a damp smell. I don't know if it was because it was so humid and nothing seems to dry out! The room was fine but not the cleanest I had used to expect whilst travelling around Japan. In the lobby they had a big table and chairs where you could get complimentary coffee / soft drinks which was a nice touch so we could all meet up in the morning. Walking distance to the main station and the subway.

Cons:

Damp smell. Could be a bit cleaner.

Pros:

We got a room on the first floor that was a bit noisy due to the streets, we asked if it was possible to change it and they had no problem about it once a room in the upper floors emptied.

Cons:

It was quite dusty behind the TV and under the bed. We found several long hairs on the floor on the toilet and in the room. Cleaning could improve.
