Sehr angenehmer Aufenthaltsraum in der Lobby
Pros:

Hotelzimmer in Japan sind meistens sehr klein. Es war angenehm, einen kleinen Tisch und zwei Hocker zu haben, wo man z.B. eine kleine Mahlzeit einnehmen kann. Der große Pluspunkt aber war, dass der Frühstücksraum von 11 bis 20 Uhr in einen Workspace umgewidmet wurde: angenehme Atmosphäre, Steckdosen an jedem Tisch und Getränke (Kaffee, Multisaft, Calpis u.v.m.) die ganze Zeit gratis. Dort haben wir in den Pausen vom Besichtigungsprogramm gerne gesessen. Wir waren 7 Tage in Kyoto. Nähe zum Bahnhof ist für Ausflüge und zum Essen gehen sehr vorteilhaft.

Buena ubicación, el resto mal.
Pros:

Solo la ubicación

Cons:

Nada, ni la habitación que para 3 personas nos puso una del tamaño pequeño de 2, y había habitaciones más grandes, ni el personal que no estaba cualificado, pero para nada el desayuno, lo más básico que hay para el precio que se paga. No tenían café con leche de máquina por ejemplo.

Pros:

Ottimo hotel situato a 5 minuti a piedi dalla Kyoto Station.
La posizione è uno dei punti di forza dell'hotel, infatti nei dintorni si trovano molti ristoranti per poter cenare oppure con
15 minuti di Bus dalla Kyoto Station si può andare nella zona di Gion e Pontocho.
Davvero Top!

The ceiling fan in the washroom could use a little bit of cleaning, it is a little dusty.
