Posizione abbastanza comoda, comunque ben collegata con i mezzi. Personale molto carino, disponibile e accogliente. Stanza piccola ma pulita. In generale un’esperienza positiva!

La stanza era abbastanza piccola, per aprire le valigie ci dovevamo alternare. Ma comunque in linea con le camere giapponesi.

"A great location with young and very friendly staff offering a range of services."

Excellent

8.0

The hotel is very environmentally sensitve, so cleaning of rooms is only done evety 3 days, it states this on its site and reminds you when you arrive. It was not an issue in my case, though I did appreciate the reasoning. The location is exceptional as it is at the tail end of the main Kyoto commercial street, (Shijo) so shopping can become a very easy day option (not my case). It does give many more choices for food and beverage. It also puts the visitors in the central network of public transport. The cost/quality ratio was for myself very positive, some may differ.

The rooms may require in a near future refreshing as signs of possible mold or allergic factors made some nights and mornings unpleasant.
