Rekommenderas inte!
Vid check-in var ytterdörren låst och vi fick vänta en timme. Till slut bankade vi hårt på dörren och då vaknade någon innanför och släppte in oss. Ofräscht med massor av hårstrån i sängen och trasig toalettdörr.
Absolut inte värt pengarna.
Muy bien ubicado, renta bicicletas que es el mejor transporte en kyoto. Staff super amable y atento, instalaciones impecables y cuartos amplios. Para el estandar de Japón.
