Pros:

Хост очень и очень дружелюбная. Комнаты очень чистые. В отеле есть стирка и сушка за хорошую цену. Район очень тихий и спокойный, рядом есть автобусная остановка, много разных кафе.

Cons:

Было достаточно тесно в ванной комнате. Еще очень хорошая слышимость. Но все все понимают и ведут себя довольно тихо. Только в 1 из 4 моих ночей мне не дали хорошо поспать - соседи всю ночь собирали свои чемоданы

Pros:

Excellent rapport qualité prix! Les chambres sont propres et commodes. L'hôtel est situé dans une zone résidentielle tranquille et sympa, pas loin des transports. Il y'a deux machines à laver à disposition au rez de chaussée si besoin. En plus la propriétaire est juste adorable !

Pros:

You can directly walk from the Kyoto Station. Room was cozy, clean, everything you need is provided and the host is such a lovely lady. From the moment you check-in to your check-out she takes care of everything in case you need anything and she gave me small gift for a reminder of my trip to Kyoto. I will definitely stay there for the next time 🙏🏻

Good price for individual room with shower and some facilities.
Pros:

Super close to train stations, so you can easily reach ouch the central areas. Close to some traditional and local restaurants, so give it a try! Price is really good to have a private room with shower only for yourself.

The host/owner is super nice and lovely, I had a flu during my staying and she was giving me tips and even gave me the water heater to bring to my room. 💖✨ Hope you liked the Psyduck for your entrance!

Cons:

Unfortunately the internet is pretty bad, specially during the evening - I assume it’s because everyone is accessing at the same time.

The walls are super thin and if you’re unlucky to get an impolite person next to your room making noise or phone calls during the night, you’re gonna hear it.

The room is a bit small, normal for Tokyo, but even if you book for an individual staying, it’s gonna have 2 singles beds which occupies a lot of space.

Bien que très propre, rapport qualité prix très décevant.
Pros:

La propreté et le côté chaleureux de la propriétaire

Cons:

Chambres vraiment trop petites, bien que le quartier soit relativement calme, pas de double de vitrage et on entend les conversations des chambres voisines ! Ne pas avoir de grosses valises pour voyager car pas d’ascenseur ni de place pour les installer (enfin dans ma chambre)

Petit hôtel très accueillant
Pros:

La dame est extrêmement accueillante et serviable. Elle répond très gentiment à toutes nos questions et fait tout son possible pour rendre notre séjour agréable.
La situation de l'hôtel est bien centrale, pas loin d'un arrêt de bus et d'une boutique de location de vélos (Fuune rental).

Cons:

J'aurais apprécié d'avoir une vraie tasse pour le thé plutôt que des gobelets en carton.
