Great deal and location with tasty breakfast
Pros:

Located in Shijo just two stations away from Kyoto. For me it was very comfortable to travel with my luggage. My room was spacious and descent. Also I enjoyed the morning breakfast very delicious.

Cons:

They also have laundry however only two washing machines for entire hotel which was always busy. Even I tried sneaking at 1130pm and 7am but no luck as it was busy plus I didnt undertand how to use it as machine always needs coins to start with however in my previous hotel in tokyo it only needs detergent powder. That was bit disppointed as I wanted to use laundry.

Pros:

Staff gentilissimo e accogliente, ho avuto dei problemi di salute e mi hanno gentilmente chiamato l'ospedale vista la difficoltà con la lingua. Posizione dell'hotel molto tranquilla e comoda ai servizi di trasporto inoltre ci sono molti locali vicini dove mangiare.
Le stanze inoltre sono più grandi rispetto allo standard giapponese.

Cons:

La colazione era veramente ricca ma forse per la parte dolce non c'era tantissima scelta, mi sarei aspettato qualche specialità giapponese a riguardo.

Great Value Hotel Near Shijo with Authentic Japanese Touch
Pros:

1) Location that very close to Shijo station and Shijo district
2) Hotel lobby that has classic/ traditional Japan atmosphere
3) Free coffee (UCC) in the lobby for guests
4) Japanese traditional breakfast with freshly made onigiri
5) I got best price deal..

Cons:

Room is a bit small (16m2), but I think it's acceptable for the price deal offered.
