Basic hotels, very reasonable price in Kyoto, the room is good size, with small refrigerator. They also provide some breakfast and dinner, not fancy food, but included in the room price, which is quite convenient

The photos of The breakfast aren't accurate, The breakfast is fine, but didn't see a single egg or a piece of fruit there in whole week. The diningroom walls were really dirty and in our room there was hairs that didn't belong to us. Staff were helpful and nice, though they didn't speak english, but still tried to help as best they could. Onsen was alright

Ok
An sich in Ordnung gewesen, nur leider nicht sehr sauber. Bei uns im Zimmer haben wir erstmal eine Unterhose vom Bewohner davor gefunden und alles wirkt etwas verwohnt.
Das heiße Bad war super, nur leider auch nicht sehr sauber.
