Super.. bisher schönstes Hotel in Japan für uns
Pros:

Das SuperiorZimmer hatte eine tolle Größe und ein super Bad.
Die Orga rund ums Frühstück war toll. Sehr nachhaltig weil kein Büfett, und durch die Zeitfenster eine gute Verteilung. Der Bionical-Bereich war auch super.

Cozy and Magical!
Pros:

The room was spotless! We loved the bed inspired by tatami, yet very thick and comfortable. The adjoined bathroom next to the bedroom gives so much privacy. The design of the room gives you calm and style. All the shampoos are organic, and smell amazing! The common area was so magical! With always fresh herbal water, and fresh cold water too. Enough space to chill, work or have a snack downstairs. We loved everything about this place! The staff was patient, welcoming, and the room price was so fair! The location next to Marutamachi metro station and the Kyoto National Gardens made our stay a dream!

Cons:

Nothing, everything was amazing!

Pros:

I absolutely loved the hotel design! The staff were so incredibly kind and attentive, especially when I needed help with my breakfast and cleaning choices. Plus, the breakfast was good and the coffee was truly excellent.

Cons:

I couldn't find a hook or anywhere to hang my wet towels.
The bathroom smelled musty every morning.
The rule about picking your breakfast and a specific time before 9 am is tough, especially since everything is booked up if you’re late. Not everyone is here for vacation, and when you’re traveling for work or conferences, you’re often at dinners or busy late at night and can’t remember to book. They should ask why you’re staying and try to be more flexible with those rules.

Pros:

非常舒服的京都風，飯店有提供花草茶給旅客。
房間空間大，家具都很有質感且舒服。
位置雖然不在最熱鬧的地方，但旁邊就有全家、7-11。交通的部分，丸太町地下鐵站就在旁邊走過去大概2分鐘，也有公車可以直達八坂神社、清水寺、伏見稻荷大社…等，對想要神社巡禮的人來說非常的方便，。

Cons:

還是希望有大浴場
