Piccolo Hotel molto carino in una traversa del Corso principale di Kyoto. In posizione tranquilla giri l’angolo e ti trovi tutto il centro di kyoto a piedi. Utile la possibilità di utilizzare lavatrice asciugatrice con pochi yen. Vicino alla fermata del bus, fondamentale per girare Kyoto. Consigliatissimo.

Très bon hôtel, bien situé dans Gion. Propreté, chambres qui ne donnent pas l’impression d’être à l’étroit, toilette séparé de la salle de bain, climatisation, équipements à disposition et rangements. Machines à laver dispo en libre service pour 200Y (+100Y pour dose de lessive) et 100Y pour 30 min de sèche linge. Point négatif : la clim n’a que des boutons écrits en japonais…

위치가 너무 좋아서 두번째 방문입니다. 교토 최고의 번화가인 가와라마치라서 데라마치, 기온, 산조까지 도보로 이동가능합니다. 버스노선도 많아 교토지역 어디든 접근이 편리합니다. 교토에서 제일 인기있는 관광지인 기요미즈데라는 걸어갈 수 있고, 아라시야마는 한큐 열차를 이용하면 빠르게 갈 수 있습니다. 호텔로 올 때 오사카쪽이라면 게이한 기온시조역이나 한큐 교토가와라마치역에서 내려서 걸어오면 됩니다. 간사이공항에서 온다면 보통 교토역에서 내릴텐데 짐들고 버스타는것보다 택시로 오는걸 추천합니다(교토역에서 택시요금은 2000엔 안쪽) 이번엔 방이 1층이라 로비에서 바로 들어갈 수 있는건 장점이었지만 창문앞이 막혀있던건 단점이였네요. 이외에 사용한 수건을 복도에 내놓으면 수건은 매번 요청하지 않아도 채워주셔서 편리했습니다. 1층에 세탁기와 건조기가 있고, 대기할 수 있는 공간도 있어서 편리하게 사용할 수 있었습니다.

My experience here was alright. The room wasn’t the most spacious — I could open my two suitcases, but it was a little annoying having to walk over them and maneuver around. The hotel does have a laundry room, which I appreciated. However, just a heads up: the dryers don’t really dry. I was surprised to find my clothes still quite wet even after hours in the dryer. I wish the staff had mentioned this beforehand when I asked them about the laundry room. I later realized this might be common in Japan, where people often air-dry their clothes instead. Just something to keep in mind!

四条大橋からすぐで、ロケーションは良い。価格設定もまずまず。ユニットバスの天井に髪の毛がへばり付いていた。これはかなり不快。また、バスタブが小さいのは価格相応でやむを得ないが、中に身を沈めると目の前に洗面器の下側のカビが目につく。清掃業者の選定に難ありと思われる。

The hotel lobby was very basic and very small, but the room we stayed at was surprisingly big (compared to the other hotels we stayed at). The area was overall safe to walk even late at night. The man who checked us in and out, Mr. Niimi was pleasant, polite and helpful. He was very helpful in getting us a taxi to take us to the train station. On the day of our departure, we asked to store our luggage and the woman at the front desk (she was very petite, had a short “bob” hairstyle and wearing a mask) was rude and she was rather short/terse with us. She wasn’t friendly and it was difficult to talk to her. That’s why I only gave 4 stars for staff and service.

The hotel is located in Gion area and it was amazing. The staff speak English and the check-in/check-out process was quick and smooth. The rooms are spacious and clean. Few steps away is the Hard Rock Cafe and the main shopping street is across the hotel from the main road. Gion is packed with sightseeing shrines and temples. Some of them have a light show at night. This hotel is awesome. I’m definitely coming back again

A great little place to stay in Gion, staff were very attentive and approachable and spoke English which helped me as my Japanese was very limited. Great area, we could get buses to Kyoto station frequently and then go out from there to all the sites. Family mart close by for lunch and dinners if you did not wish to dine out. Loved our stay.
