Good location, and despite its faults, the rates were fair for what you got and the conveniences nearby. I got a smoking room, but it wasn't a surprise from the listing, just be prepared for it. here is an in room laundry, which was nice, but be prepared to research how to use a Japanese Laundry as the instructions provided are poorly translated. The bathroom was easily the worst part. It is desperately in need of renovation. The bidet/washlet attachment to the toilet seat didn't even fit, and the drainage for the tub was exposed and really gross looking underneath

Dusty old smell hotel rooms

So we moved 3 times due to the cleanliness., its was so dusty and smelled like old wood in the 1st room. The balcony didn't have a screen but I needed to vent the room so kept open and got bit up by mosquitos.. 2nd room we moved same day we checked in I tried to clean myself as I needed to sleep balcony-same no screen and was broke on the balcony floor, so didnt want to get bit up again, left it closed so my sinuses kept me up,. We are there only 2 nights mind you.. So I told the front desk the next day and she gave us the option to move again. I was like ok let me try but this wild I told her.. 3rd room same better smell but still dusty as heck and the bathroom behind the toilet dont get me started.. whoever manages this location does not check on the work done at all.. hallways floor dusty also you can see it on the lamps they have in the hallways.. In the 23 years I've travel to japan this was the worst hotel I've stayed in.. do yourself a favor and book somewhere else...

ちょっと宿泊するには厳しい環境かと思われました。 喫煙の部屋だったのは仕方が無いにしても匂いがきつすぎたのと、水漏れなど音も気になりました。 ベッドメイクなどは問題ないと思いましたが少し残念でした… 京都の時代祭りにあたったのでホテルが他にとれず仕方ないかと。

Das Zimmer war sehr dunkel, dreckig, und sehr sehr staubig. An der Schiebetür zum Schlafzimmer waren braune Spritz Flecken und auf der Toilette war ein zu großer wc Sitz für die Toilette selbst (etwas unangenehm) Ich bin eine Nacht früher aus gecheckt, da ich trotz nicht vorhandener Allergie kaum noch Luft bekommen habe.
