The hotel had big rooms and was close to Kyoto station and was quiet. I would have liked if it had a washing machine available but they did provide a folder with information on the closest laundromats.

Very new and clean. A little longer to walk from the rain station though. Staffs are friendly n check in and check out is easy. Check out timing at 10am is a little earlier than most hotel, no laundry facilities is one downside of the hotel.

Basic budget Kyoto hotel

This is definintely a budget stay location. A short walk from the train station once you know where you are going. The rooms are smallish and basic and not that comfortable, although the automated access process may suit some travellers. Beds were a little form for our liking and the pillows insubstantial making the sleep quality not the best. The location is a little awkward from the station unless you get the right exit and it feels a little isolated to much of what is happening in Kyoto.

This property is in a quiet neighborhood situated only a few blocks from Kyoto Station. The entrance is small and looks like a small convenience store, and was a little hard to find. The staff saw us struggling and came to our aid. It was too early to check in so we stored our luggages which they later brought to our room. The hotel gave off vibes as a small family owned business with great service. The building feels new and the amenities were complete. It more than exceeded my expectations. I would stay again given the location, cleanliness, service and amenities.

The light switch for the room should have been near the entrance of the room instead of near the bed. Toilet paper and tissue paper is too thin. It’s so difficult to use as you need to fold many many times in order get enough paper to use. Other than the above, the property is in a very convenient location, just about 10 mins walk from Kyoto station. It is very clean and has a reasonable price. Will come here again

The only downside is they dont do cleaning on a daily basis unless you stay more than 4 days. Have to pack your own trash and put the towels outside in order to have fresh towels. 10-15minutes walk distance from the JR station. Need to key in password to enter at night hence it can he quite a hassle if you are stuck checking in after 6pm. No food or drinks in the vicinity if u need at night. Have to walk a distance in the cold to the nearest lawson which is 5-10mins away.

Pleasant hotel nice room

Automatic check in out of hours which was a bit off a faff when tired, but worked fine. Great room and toiletries, no room service to tidy up for but clean towels every day. Reception had a shop open until 6pm and a microwave with cutlery etc. Staff were friendly and helpful when we checked out. Located near the main station and 15 min walk from the underground, 7-11 very close.

Everything good except that if you’re check out at non-office hour, you cannot drop your luggage in the counter.
