The staff was great and very friendly, both receptionists I spoke to spoke English or spoke just enough to help me without an issue. If you're looking for a more quiet hotel that is still close to train and bus lines this is a great option for you. They can also hold your luggage for you if you enter before the check in time.

朝食(パン)付きの予約取りました。600円分のチケットがもらえ、歩いて数分のパン屋さんでパンが選べます。1人3個選ぼうとするとチケット分では足りないので別途支払いになりますのでしっかり朝食取りたい方は素泊まりだけをおすすめします。ただ周りに食事できるとこはほんの数件です。

客室は、きちんと整えられていました。スタッフの方は、少し言葉や地元の情報に不安な点がありそうでしたが、丁寧に対応してくださいました。 ただ、浴室のカランの水量の調節が難しく、使い勝手が悪かったのが難点でした。使用法が理解できていなかったのかもしれませんが、いずれにしても何か注意書きか口頭でアドバイスいただけるなどあれば、もう少し快適に水回りが使用できたかと思います。他には、飲料水や身体を洗う用の薄いタオルなども備えてあると助かります。

Fue nuestro hotel favorito en las 3 ciudades que visitamos en Japon, el mas amplio y a un precio accesible. La cama es firme pero dormimos muy bien. Hay una tienda de conveniencia a una cuadra y media y el autobus te deja a una cuadra del hotel. Es una zona muy tranquila y caminable, con el castillo Nijo a dos cuadras.

Disliked: Amenities
Habitaciones muy pequeñas con muy poco espacio para las maletas. Cuando reservamos el alojamiento lo hicimos con desayuno incluido, y sin embargo a la llegada nos encontramos con que el desayuno son unos tickets para irte a una panadería cercana y cogerte lo que quisieras siempre que no superara los 600 yenes. En nuestro caso viajábamos con una persona celíaca y al preguntar por otras opciones ya que desayunar en una panadería y ser celíaco no es compatible, no nos ofrecieron otra alternativa, fue entonces cuando preguntamos por una devolución del valor del desayuno que habíamos pagado y nos dijeron que eso tampoco podrían gestionarlo. En resumen, no aconsejamos en absoluto este hotel para quedarse en Kyoto.
