L'hôtel est beau et propre. Il est super bien placé, la literie est de qualité , le personnel est top, le p'tit déjeuner est varié Le pas de place pour les valises dans la chambre ça c'est quand même pas hyper pratique mais on s'est débrouillé, en mettant la table sur le 'canapé' ça fait un peu plus d'espace, d'ailleurs je pense que celui ci est inutile et du coup l'espace de la chambre pourrait être agrandi s'il n'était pas là. Un espace fumeur en extérieur aurait été appréciable mais bon je n'ai qu'a pas fumer vous me direz 😜. Un jus de fruit frais le matin aussi serait appréciable car les jus en bricks.....

We were lucky enough to be able to attend the Maiko Show in Kyoto: it really was a wonderful experience as the performances were great and we had a chance to ask Maiko-san a lot of questions. Absolutely worth it!
