La recepción del hotel se encuentra en la planta baja. Es un espacio reducido con un par de mostradores para realizar el chekin. Los empleados hablan inglés, son amables y atentos. En la propia recepción podemos comprar el Kyoto One Day Pass, que con un precio de 500¥ nos permite utilizar todos los autobuses de Kyoto, cuantas veces sea necesario. En caso de requerir imprimir algún tipo de documentación ( por ejemplo un boarding pass ), el hotel nos cobrará por página impresa, lo cual no suele suceder en hoteles europeos o americanos.
La recepción conduce hacia un salón en el que se ofrecen los desayunos por la mañana, y en la que se puede comer o cenar a la carta. En un extremo del salón se encuentra la barra del bar, en la que todas las tardes los huéspedes del hotel pueden disfrutar de una copa gratuita. La planta baja dispone de una terraza exterior, con diversas mesas y butacas en las que descansar al final de la jornada.

La habitación Doble Superior tiene 19 metros cuadrados. El suelo de la habitación es de madera, salvo el suelo de la entrada que es de moqueta.
El baño es pequeño. El estilo es típicamente japonés, aunque bastante más moderno que los baños de los hoteles que hemos visitado en otras ciudades japonesas. Encontramos el habitual inodoro TOTO, con sus múltiples opciones de lavado. El hotel ofrece varios artículos de aseo, mientras que el gel de baño y el champú son recargables.

Desde mi punto de vista, este hotel es bastante recomendable, especialmente considerando los servicios adicionales ofrecidos sin coste alguno ( Onsen, Lavadora gratuita, Copa de cortesía, etc... ) , aunque quizás consideraría otras opciones si tuviera que alojarme de nuevo en Kyoto, principalmente por la gran distancia de este hotel con respecto a la situación de los principales puntos de interés de Kyoto, situados mucho más al norte de la ciudad.
English Version
The "Sakura Terrace Hotel" is located less than 10 minutes walking from Kyoto Train station, south direction, in a very quite area. Just in front of the hotel we can find a Karasuma Line metro station. Close to the hotel, we can also find several bus stops for the buses that connect this area with the most important tourist atractions of Kyoto.
The hotel reception is located in the basement floor. It is a limited space with a pair of desks where the checkin can be done.The staff speaks english, they are friendly and caring. In the reception it is possible to buy the Kyoto One Day Pass, that allows to use all buses in Kyoto area, as many times as
required in a day just for 500¥. If you need to print any documents ( for example a boarding pass ), the hotel will charge you for every page printed, ( this is not usual in european or american countries ).
The reception area connects with the dinning-room where the breakfast is served in the morning, and where it is possible to lunch or to have dinner from the menu. At one side of the dinning-room there is a bar, where every evening every hotel guest can enjoy one drink for free. The basement room also has a terrace, with some tables and chairs where we can rest at the end of the day.
In the basement floor, there are as well spring waters ( Onsen ). The Onsen are gender separated and its usage is free for the hotel guests.
Our room was located in the 8th floor. From the room we didn´t hear any noise from the outside, but we do hear it from the corridors. The room has a terrace that offers views to a wide area of houses located south of the station.
Just by the door, it can be found a small piece of furniture with a fridge. Over it, there are some shelves and hangers where we can organize our clothes. The room has no wardrobe.
The Superior Double room has 19 square meters. The floor of the room is on wood, but the entrance's floor is on carpet.
The bathroom is small. The style is typically japanish, although its style is modern compared with other hotels that we have visited in other japanese cities. As always, the TOTO toilet is present, with all its multiple washing options. The hotel offers different toiletries, although the shower gel and the shampoo are refillable.
The bed is quite comfortable, although the pillows are soft. In front of the bed, there is a piece of furniture and over it, there is a Plasma TV, with some international TV channels. Inside the furniture, there is a water heater to prepare coffee or tea. In one of the drawers, we can find the traditional yukatas, that can be used as a pyjama.
The room has an Air Conditionned system.
The room furniture is completed with a table, an arm-chair and a footrest that can be used as a stool.
In the fourth floor, there is a room with washing machines and dryers, that can be used for free ( in other hotels in Japan, these machines are working with coins ). In the reception of the hotel we can ask for detergent for free.
This room offers a reasonable price-quality ratio ( 4 Nights of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday by 61800¥ - around 510€ on April 2017, booking at http://www.japanican.com/en . The booking does not include breakfast ).
I would recommend this hotel, specially considering the additional services offered to the hotel guests ( Onsen, Washing Machine, Welcome Drink, etc... ), although I would consider some other options if I have to stay in Kyoto again, mainly due to the large distance between this hotel and the most important places of interest in Kyoto, located at the north of the city.
