アメニティがない。歯ブラシは100円で、櫛はおいてない。

很方便，會再來，台灣人可以參考
說重點：行李可以放到姊妹館寄放，旁邊通天閣隨時有吃的，冬季冬季24小時。
毛巾在1樓電梯口可以自己每日拿上去替換，有附茶包和盥洗用品，都在1樓有需要的再自 取。
不會有房務人員打掃，但地衣天就打掃得很乾淨，自己維持住起來輕鬆舒適。
浴室的乾燥功能很好，有掛衣架，衣服洗完放浴室烘就會乾了。通常睡前洗好，起床就會乾了

還不錯的青年旅館
這次選擇的是單人房，因為沒有衛浴，所以需要到對面使用，方便是方便，但是其他人使用時發出的聲音也會被影響。
房間的門鎖少見的需要再離開時在外面用卡片手動上鎖，一不小心很容易忘記.
1樓就有附設居酒屋，不過資訊不太詳細，所以好不好吃不清楚，不過方便應該也是很方便.

程よく静かな立地です。
リノベーションされており、内部は新築同様で快適です。ただ、室内の換気扇を回すと入口上部の通気口から下水のような臭いが少しだけしたのですが、換気扇を止めれば臭わないです。壁が薄いのか廊下や隣の部屋の音は結構聞こえます。
周辺は中心部にありながら静かな場所ですが、飲食店は豊富なので便利な所です。京都中心部に住んでいるような感覚を味わえます。
