Pros:

L'hôtel est beau et propre. Il est super bien placé, la literie est de qualité , le personnel est top, le p'tit déjeuner est varié

Cons:

Le pas de place pour les valises dans la chambre ça c'est quand même pas hyper pratique mais on s'est débrouillé, en mettant la table sur le 'canapé' ça fait un peu plus d'espace, d'ailleurs je pense que celui ci est inutile et du coup l'espace de la chambre pourrait être agrandi s'il n'était pas là.
Un espace fumeur en extérieur aurait été appréciable mais bon je n'ai qu'a pas fumer vous me direz 😜.
Un jus de fruit frais le matin aussi serait appréciable car les jus en bricks.....

Elegante e comodo per godersi Kyoto
Pros:

Camera di giuste dimensioni grandina per gli standard giapponesi, belle colazioni con ampia scelta, la struttura è in zona molto centrale e comoda alla metropolitana

Cons:

il servizio laudry fai da te va migliorato, due sole lavatrici e due asciugatrici provocano code e confusione.

Nice hotel with a great location.
Pros:

Great location, very close to the metro and bus stops. Friendly staff. Clean property with lots of nice touches: free coffee, water, microwave, amenities etc.
Buffet breakfast was nice, lots of choices.

Cons:

The rooms didn’t have much storage. We had two single beds and a sofa in between the beds. No table or anywhere to put things in the room. Would have benefited from some hooks or side tables.
