Pros:

Habitación muy amplia y cómoda. Cerca de metro que lleva a Kioto station con 1 trasbordo o directo si se andan 15minutos. 7eleven en la acera de enfrente.
Se va andando al Kiyumizu-dera y al Fushimi inari en metro directo muy cerca. A 10 minutos andando hay parada bus que te lleva y trae al Pabellón Dorado.

Cons:

El hotel no ofrece ningún aperitivo ni nada de comer gratis extra salvo una botella de agua el primer dia.

Pros:

Posizione perfetta per visitare Kyoto, a pochi passi dalla zona storica della città. Struttura nuova, ordinata e molto pulita. Colazione molto abbondante e di ottima qualità. Volendo offre la possibilità di pranzare o cenare al ristorante interno e anche in questo caso la qualità è ottima con ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Personale sempre super cortese e disponibile. Camera non grande ma dotata di ogni confort necessario. Letti comodissimi.
