Geweldig!
Pros:

Wij waren met een gezin (1 zoon van 13 jaar) en het was echt een geweldig appartement! Erg schoon, bedde waren comfortabel, een goede ligging en hele vriendelijke medewerksters. Echt een aanrader!

Pros:

Loved the location of this, and the room itself was very cozy. Was super helpful that they (depending on your stay length) cleaned the room for you after a couple of days. Felt good to come home after a long day exploring to a refreshed room.

Pros:

Notre chambre était spacieuse et propre.
Le nécessaire de toilette est à disposition dans les couloirs.
Localisation bien pour visiter le quartier de Gion et Fushimi Inari.
Séjour agréable.

Cons:

Le Check in est presque 100% digitalisé et après plusieurs heures de voyage, nous aurions préféré que le Check in soit fait par le personnel de l’hôtel.
Il n’y a pas de personnel toute la journée au comptoir de l’hôtel.
Une odeur désagréable se dégage dans l’ascenseur et les couloirs…
Au vu des transports en commun de Kyoto (quasi exclusivement des bus), nous aurions dû privilégier un hôtel proche de la gare qui dessert davantage la ville.
