Super hôtel bien situé, ambiance top
Pros:

Cet hôtel est génial, une situé, personnel agréable, chambres ok, plusieurs saké à disposition pour découvrir différents styles, un espace de vie super sympa avec chaque jour des animations différentes(cours d’origami, de calligraphie, phrases en japonais pour l’utilisation quotidienne, préparation de thé matcha…).
C’est super sympa, ça crée une animation dans le coin détente et permet d’échanger avec les autres clients.
Un coin manga avec pleins de titres super connus (en japonais 😅)
Bref on a passé ici un super séjour et si nous devons revenir sur Kyoto notre choix sera évidemment pour le choix de l’hôtel.

Cons:

Nous n’avons pas testé les petits déjeuners que nous trouvions chers (1500 JPY de mémoire).
Nous avons opté pour des petits déjeuners du 7 eleven bien moins chers.

Parfait pour un solo trip en toute tranquilité.
Pros:

La chambre est toute petite mais très bien et confortable pour une seule personne. Un petit cocon avec salle de bain et toilettes, de l'emplacement pour sa valise et un petit espace pour ranger ses affaires. Ce qui est chouette aussi, c'est le thé, l'eau et le café à dispo au rdc.

Cons:

Honnêtement, rien.

Pros:

Il personale molto gentile e collaborativo
L'albergo è pulito e, al nostro arrivo, abbiamo trovato anche la camera pulita
Venivano offerti gratuitamente ai clienti biscotti, bevande locali, thè.
La struttura non è molto lontana dalla zona degli acquisti

Cons:

La pulizia della camera viene effettuata ogni tre giirni
La camera esageratamente spartana:nessun armadio né cassetto per ritirare le cose. I pochi vestiti che toglievamo dalla valigia li dovevamo appenderei con la gruccia al muro.
