The place is fine for a short stay. It’s clean and has what you need. The rooms specifically the restroom are extra small and the beds are not very comfortable. So I would not recommend it for an extended stay. The staff is not typically available until the late afternoon so if you need any assistance in the morning or early hours you won’t have access to staff. My husband and I stayed for two nights and that was enough. There is an amazing sushi restaurant just around the corner about two minutes away which made the stay worth it!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The beds are extremely old and sunken in as if you are sleeping in a spoon shaped mattress due to the mattresses being old, the mattress springs poke you all night and you can’t rest or sleep, I had to sleep sitting on bed with my back against the wall. The shower curtains were filthy and had mold on them, there is no one at reception if you need help, the rooms are extremely small where you can’t bring much luggage with you as there is not enough space. I strongly suggest that you do not stay here.

近くの有料駐車場も安くて良かったです。 地下鉄の駅からは結構距離がありました。 中は快適でした。 宿泊施設の前の道は狭くて一方通行なので、荷物の出し入れは大変かもしれません。

Des améliorations à apporter

J'ai réservé 2 chambres pour mes parents, ma sœur et moi. Les matelas étaient très durs et les lits en "cuvette", donc difficile de dormir. Mais la difficulté principale a été que la clim de la 2e chambre ne fonctionnait pas et personne à l'accueil pour aider ! Avec des températures extérieures à 38° à 2h du matin impossible de dormir...

Hotel bom, porém a localização não era das melhores! A pé ficava muito longe das estações. Para o nosso objetivo que era turismo, ficou um pouco longe pra nós! Recepção só funciona a partir das 15h, portas sem cartão porém com código e senha, moderno! Banheiro pequeno! Não tiramos foto do hotel.

Hotel boutique muy cómodo en una zona tranquila. Ofrece todo tipo de artículos, incluso personales, durante la estancia, lo que ayuda en caso de algún imprevisto. Es muy self service, por lo que hay que considerar que no habrá mucho personal que pueda ayudar todo el tiempo.

Prima hotel voor een paar nachten Kyoto!

Goed hotel voor een paar nachten in Kyoto. Ik had wat schrik na de laatste reviews, maar dat was nergens voor nodig. De kamer was ruim genoeg voor ons 4, de bedden groter dan de meeste kamers. De matras niet van de dikste en vrij hard, maar toch prima geslapen! Alle producten waren aanwezig in de badkamer en in de hal kon je nog extra dingen nemen. We waren er voor 2 nachten en er lagen voor iedereen 2 kleine en 2 grote handdoeken klaar. Openbaar vervoer nodig om er te geraken, maar wel lekker rustig!

今回5泊の宿泊で3名で利用させて頂きました。 到着後受付で、お部屋の掃除は2日に1回と言われました。部屋に入るとバタタオルとフェイスタオルが1日分しか用意されてなかったので、2日間同じタオルを使用する事になり、不快でした。トイレのタオルもなかったのでティッシュで拭いていました。 2日目の夜ホテルに帰宅すると部屋に排水口の臭い匂いが充満していました。原因はお風呂の排水口からでした。臭いのでお風呂に入るか迷いました。結局大量の水を流しニオイを軽減させお風呂に入りました。翌朝掃除の方に排水口の汚れを見せて掃除をお願いしてからはニオイは大丈夫でした。2日目の夜からはバスタオルは2日間分セットされていましたが、足マットは1日分しかなく、薄いタオルタイプのバスマットは3人で1日使用すればもうべちゃべちゃで2日目の使用に困りました。 ホテルのWi-Fiはかなり弱いです。音楽を聴いていると途中で止まってしまうことも多々ありました。また、コーヒーやティーパックなども廊下にあると口コミにあったのですが、どの階にも全くなかったです。 電子レンジが各階にあるのですが、部屋のドアとドアの間に設置されており、ここの部屋の方たちは嫌だろうなぁと思いました。使う方も気を遣いあまり使えませんでした。 部屋の掃除はあまり綺麗ではありませんでした。壁には食べ物あとのシミが何箇所かにあり、拭けば取れる感じのものだったので、掃除が出来ていないのだろうと感じました。ホコリなどもありました。 部屋の下駄箱もテープがはられ使えなくなっていました。 良かったところはと考えましたが…。 同じ値段を出すなら別のところに行くかなぁと思いました。
