Nice place in Kyoto

The accommodation was good and good value for money. Our annex room was perfect for us. The only downside is the staff were not around much so for using washing machine and any questions it wasn't so easy. When they were there they were helpful and friendly. The location is fine. It's a little way from any main sites bit good buses close by.

120년 전통가옥의 호텔입니다.

장점 : 집이 상당히 예쁩니다. 직원이 타이완사람이고, 일본어와 영어를 합니다. 금각사에서 가깝습니다. 단점 : 길이 좀 복잡합니다. 구글맵 필수, 가격이 좀 비싼편입니다. 한국말이 안통합니다. 기온거리에서 멉니다.
