Pros:

Amazing location in easy walking distance from Heian-jingū, Gion, and the metro, but still very quiet and comfy. I slept better here than I have in a long time. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, this hotel comes highly recommended.

一人旅にはリーズナブルで気持ちよくお泊りできました。
Pros:

対応が適切で分かりやすく好感が持てた。

Cons:

チェックインの時間前にお荷物を預けられるかどうか聞こうと電話とメールをしたが電話は繋がらず、メールの返事は無かった。
ただ、到着したら時間前でもお部屋に入れていただけたから問題っは無かったが。
