Pros:

It was like an apartment stay. Somewhat fully equipped but perhaps abt 80% of a service apartment.

Checking in, entering the hotel and room are no frills. All automated and password protected which is convenient.

Cons:

On the outset looks clean. But in certain places like on the bed i find remnant strands of long hair which obviously wasn't from me. To be fair it was only 2 to 3 strands, but enough to make you think again about overall cleanliness.

Nice place but avoid room 104.
Pros:

Good place great location very clean good amenities.

Cons:

Just don’t get room 104 ( ground flr end of the corridor). Appears the bins are on the other side of the wall from your headboard so every morning round 3 or 4am they get collected. You can tell they’re trying to be quiet but the walls are thin and every morning you get woken by the noise and a thud on the wall.

Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor Kyoto
Pros:

De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien. Goede uitvalsbasis om de stad te verkennen en goed bereikbaar met de bus (en metro op iets grotere loopafstand). Hotel maakt gebruik van cijfercodes, waardoor je geen sleutel of pasje hoeft te bewaren.

Pros:

Очень удобное расположение: несколько минут до пешеходной улицы с сувенирами, до Kenninji Temple, Киёмидзу-дэра, до района Гион (район гейш), до множества других красивых храмов.
Гостеприимный персонал: подтвердили поздний заезд после закрытия стойки регистрации и разрешили оплатить на следующий день, можно было оставить чемоданы в день отъезда после выезда.

Cons:

Pros:

Le personnel.
Le fait d'avoir un code plutôt qu'une carte.
L'emplacement.
L'équipement.

Cons:

Il y avait de la poussière au niveau de la tête de lit. Je trouve ça dommage car avec des allergies, ce n'est pas idéal...

Accommodatie bij het Gion district
Pros:

Het is meer een apartement dan een hotelkamer.
Bij binnenkomst is er een keukentje met kookplaat, wasbak, koelkast en magnetron.
Daarachter is het toilet en de wasmachine en daarachter is de badkamer.
Verder is er een ruim bed, twee stoelen en een laag tafeltje en een ruime kast waar je je bagage kwijt kunt.
De accomodatile ligt in een relatief rustige straat.
De pagode en het beroemde straatje zijn vlakbij.
Aan de rand van het Gion district.

Cons:

Voor ontbijt moet je zelf zorgen.
Wij vonden het lastig om 's avonds in de buurt een restaurantje te vinden. Er was veel gesloten.
