"Poteva andare meglio"

5.0

Abbiamo apprezzato la grandezza della camera, essendo in due la camera da 4 era adeguata al fatto che avevamo le valige.

La pulizia della stanza è stata eseguita un solo giorno su 5 notti da noi effettuate, se avessimo voluto una più frequente pulizia avremmo dovuto pagare un extra. La camera non era assolutamente insonorizzata, sentivamo le conversazioni degli altri clienti ed i rumori provenienti dalla strada. Gli asciugqmani vengono cambiati solo se richiesto, scendendo alla reception per la loro consegna… essendo un hotel ci aspettavamo un servizio più attento. Abbiamo scelto la stanza con futon, troviamo abbastanza incoerente che non ci sia un adeguato sistema di ricircolo dell’aria per almeno in parte mitigare il forte odore di “paglia” del pavimento.

"Stanza doppia tatami"

7.0

Bella struttura in zona tranquilla ma centrale, spazio in stanza abbondante e presenza di minifrigo e bollitore, più vari accessori per il bagno. Prezzi nella media di Kyoto, forse un po' più alti per via del tatami ma può valere la pena per fare l'esperienza. Bagno piccolo standard budget

Il check in è possibile dalle 15, la reception però apre alle 8 di mattina e non c'è possibilità di lasciare la valigia prima (arrivando alle 6 speravo di poter lasciare la valigia almeno alle 7, invece ho dovuto aspettare sino alle 8 che scendesse qualcuno.)

"Good Japanese Hotel Vs value of money"

9.0

Property is so clean and the staff are really nice for the value of the money i didn’t expect more than that

The futon are not comfortable enough other and they don’t provide luggage handling next to the hotel there is post office where you can use it to send your luggage to the next place but just be careful Sat and Sun are off
