Friendly Staff. Minimalism. Great for young people on a budget
Pros:

Clean. Friendly staff. Quiet location but near busy areas

Cons:

The bed was hard. I think if you’re young and want a very inexpensive room. This place is the vibe, but if you’re older and care about your back, maybe this isn’t the vibe.

No volvería
Pros:

La ubicación y el barrio tranquilo.

Cons:

Si bien había leído comentarios de que la cama era dura, jamás esperé que fuera una piedra. No se podía dormir, tuve que pedir en la recepción almohadas para poner y armar una “segunda” cama y recién ahí sentirme un poco más cómoda. Si tenes problemas de espalda como yo, NO TE LO RECOMIENDO. Y si no tenes problemas de espalda, es probable que al dia siguientes te levantes dolorido.
Por otro lado, cuando llegamos y tuvimos que hacer el check in, la chica de la recepción no entendía nada. Ni siquiera sabía cobrarnos el cargo extra que te cobran por noche. Mucho menos hablaba inglés.
Tuvimos que preguntar varias veces hasta entender. Ella era muy amable pero no estaba capacitada para informar.
Y finalmente aclarar que es MUY chica la habitación. Si bien todos los hoteles de mediano precio son chicos, este le ganó a todos.
No volvería

Eng, aber zum Aushalten. Lage gut. internet stark schwankend.
Pros:

Pulverkaffee und heißes Wasser vorhanden. Nahe an der Metro Station. Ruhiges Viertel.

Cons:

Das Hotel war für uns schwer zu finden, da die Touristeninfo am Bahnhof das Hotel nicht genau auf dem Stadtplan lokalisierren konnte. Infotafel/-schild ist beim Blick in die schmale Strasse nicht zu sehen.
Waschautomaten und -Trockner gut nutzbar.

Pros:

De kamer was erg fijn en ruim voor twee mensen. We hadden ieder onze eigen bed en konden met gemak onze koffers open gooien. Ook was er een kleine tafel, stoelen, waterkoker en koelkast aanwezig waardoor we gezellig in onze kamer konden eten of andere soortgelijke dingen benuttigen. De badkamer was prima om te gebruiken. Er is een airco aanwezig en beneden konden we gebruikmaken van de wasmachine en droger

Cons:

De schoonmaak wordt helaas niet dagelijks verricht. Doordat wij langer dan vijf dagen bleven, konden wij gebruikmaken van een eenmalige schoonmaak. Schone handdoeken konden we bij de receptie aanvragen en de afval werd elke dag opgehaald als je deze bij de deur liet. Dat was fijn, maar toch was het fijner geweest als de kamers vaker werden meegenomen. Er is een optie om dit aan te vragen, maar tegen betaling.

Drugi raz bym nie skorzystał z usług tego hotelu, śniadania to jakiś żart , bon na 600 ¥ do cukierni
Pros:

Pokój czysty z dużą łazienką, możliwość zostawienia bagaży przed i po wymeldowaniu.

Cons:

Twarde łóżka, bardzo mały pokój i w związku z tym brak miejsca na bagaże , trudno uchwytna obsługa, brak śniadania w hotelu tylko voucher do CUKIERNI !! na śmiesznie niską kwotę 600 ¥

Pros:

Zimmer sauber. Gute Ausstattung. Gute Lage für Kyoto. Preis ist für Japanverhältnisse relativ günstig.

Cons:

Im Bad kann man den Wasserhahn nur zwischen vollem durchfluss und garkeinem einstellen. Hände waschen ist dadurch einer überflutung des bades gleich. Zimmer sind japan typisch relativ klein, so dass man einen Reisekoffer schwer öffnen kann. Fenster gehen nur minimalen Spalt auf.

Die Matratzen sind gefühlt aus Stein.

Pros:

Everything was great except. … the firmness of the bed.

Cons:

Beds are waaaay to hard, i am used to firm beds but this felt like i was sleeping on the floor, my muscles that rested on the bed felt aching and sore the next morning. If i had not booked for multiple days, i would hVe switched hotels😅
