Pros:

Attentive staff, location near the center of town, comfortable bed, comfortable room, quiet

Cons:

I wish that when there's a western style bed (mattress) they would put in western sized furniture. I got so tired of having to get out of chairs and sofas built for an American third grade student. Also, the Japanese seem to want their air conditioners to blow on their face all night. These are minor quibbles, otherwise the room was great.

Pros:

L'emplacement est très bien pour visiter kyoto en bus, métro ou à pied.
La salle de bain fait aussi sèche linge, super pratique.

Cons:

Mauvaise insonorisation : on profite du bruit des voitures et de la marche des occupants des chambres à l'étage supérieur.
Une kitchenette mais il faut dans ce cas manger sur le lit car pas de chaise ni de table. 2 assiettes seraient les bienvenues.

Lovely Stay in well sized space for two
Pros:

Good size, excellent bathroom, kitchenette reasonably stocked.

Cons:

Only thing we could nitpick.
The one "sharp" knife in kitchen wasn't great, the handle wobbled and it was not sharp enough to cut fruit.

Cons:

Damp smell from the hall carpet. Noisy neighbours upstairs at 1am. Not as clean as it should be. Shower doors could do with a good scrub.

A decent, average stay with a spacious room and a few helpful features, but nothing particularly mem
Pros:

The room was spacious by Japan standards and the location was decent for getting around Kyoto. I also appreciated the shower room heating/drying function, which ended up being really useful for drying clothes after doing laundry.

Cons:

The kitchen amenities were very limited — one small plate that was chipped and few cutlery, so not ideal if you plan to make use of the kitchenette. The laundry detergent provided for the washer was also very heavily fragranced, which may bother guests sensitive to strong scents. Additionally, the hallway areas felt dated and worn (stained carpeting, etc.), which made the property feel more average overall.
