The room was so tiny we ended up paying for ab upgrade upon arrival (worth every penny!). The staff was professional and very friendly, but the hotel was a bit dated and the washers were terrible. Fortunately, there are affordable dry cleaning services closeby. Placement is great and the larger rooms are very comfortable.

Central but quiet

It looked like it was a ways from Kyoto train station, however it was a nice walking distance. It was central to wherever we wanted to visit. The main road was so close but the street where the hotel was, was nice and quiet. The staffs were polite and kind, super helpful when I had questions. Would recommend!

Convenient hotel close to Shijo metro station and walkable to the Nishiki Market. Liked the washing machine dryer facilities available, the public microwaves and the breakfast buffet selection. Our room was a bit dirtier than expected - needed more vacuuming under the beds. Overall good value for money for the facilities provided.

Post NewYear Kyoto stay

A great base for a Kyoto stay, close to good bus and train links. Close to the main shopping and market district. We were able to get a local train to Osaka for the next part of our trip from a nearby train station. This made this part of the journey relatively painfree despite us actually taking our suitcases ourselves for this hotel change. Note: you're not allowed suitcases on the buses in Kyoto.

Small , convenient location

Very small room. Bed against wall so one person needs to jump out of bed through front or over partner. Not enough space to open two suitcases nor where to put away clothes. Good location near subway

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was by far the worst hotel we stayed at during our trip to Japan. The room was tiny, very dirty, and did not feel clean at all. We stayed for six nights and were only given room cleaning once, on the second-to-last night of our stay. When we raised the issue, staff first said they had “forgotten,” and on another occasion, they blamed us for supposedly having a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, which was not the case. We also paid extra for an upgraded, larger room, only to be told that the room was simply advertised differently online. This was incredibly frustrating, as we paid more money expecting the room we had booked. To make matters worse, the staff were rude, unhelpful, and did not handle our concerns professionally. Basic cleanliness, accurate room descriptions, and respectful customer service should be the bare minimum for any hotel. For the price they charge, this hotel is absolutely not worth it. There are plenty of better hotels in Kyoto where you can get a much cleaner room and a far better experience. I would not stay here again and would recommend looking elsewhere.
