Ho soggiornato 2 notti presso l’hotel. Staff cordiale e camere pulite. Posizione ottima, a un passo dalla fermata del pu
Pros:

Posizione ottima e camera pulita

Cons:

Purtroppo il condizionatore e la ventola fanno un po’ di rumore. Durante la notte può dare fastidio.
Ogni tanto si sentivano anche gli sciacquoni delle altre camere.

Voltarei a me hospedar quando estiver em Kyoto
Pros:

Hotel super bem localizado, quarto enorme, chuveiro muito gostoso, funcionários muito educados. Preço achei muito bom sendo que reservei na véspera e eu me hospedei bem no dia do Festival de Gion!

Cons:

As instalações são antigas, muita gente vai achar que deveriam reformar o hotel, mas eu acho que perderia o charme do lugar.

Acogedor y correcto para cualquier persona
Pros:

El hotel está restaurado y tiene un estilo retro de los años sesenta. Es muy tranquilo y acogedor y la zona es preciosa. Las habitaciones son muy, muy espaciosas y aunque se nota que el edificio tiene sus años, la restauración es perfecta y está muy bien cuidado. Repetiría el mismo hotel sin dudarlo.

Cons:

El desayuno es de estilo japonés pero muy justo. No hay posibilidad de comer otra cosa y no es tipo bufet salvo la sopa de miso y el arroz.
Salvo en el check-in y en el comedor para los desayunos, no vi a nadie más del personal del hotel, lo que me hace pensar que no está muy atendido. No obstante, no tuve problema alguno.

Great location, but not so clean.
Pros:

The location was excellent. A taxi can’t drop you off in Front, but they could direct you how to get to it. It’s about a block in small streets. It was close to the bus, subway, and Gion District. I saw many geishas on my walk home to the hotel.

Cons:

It did not appear to be clean. The hallway carpets on the first floor and on the fourth floor (where I was staying) were very dirty. The rug and the rooms were dark, so it was hard to tell if it was clean or dirty. You were advised to wear slippers once entering the room. But the slippers seemed a little old. The bathroom area was very clean.

Pros:

Tout, la gentillesse du personnel, la décoration atypique, les chambres et salles de bain spacieuses. Il y a du café à disposition. L'emplacement est juste parfait. Le petit déjeuner japonais ajoute au charme de l'hôtel.
