My 11y/o son and I had a fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Amazing area and convenient to Kyoto Station. Lots of options for eating in the area.
Great location to Kyoto station, the staff was very helpful and kind, delicious and various breakfast. We stayed with a child and could fit in the room. Wonderful stay. You can find everything you need. Totally recommended
The room I had was quite small, but the tremendous convenience of easy access to Kyoto Station was a huge plus. Additionally, the breakfast was superb! I also found the staff very nice and helpful.
The hotel is modern, clean and spacious. It is very close to the Kyoto Station, which makes travelling easier. I would recommend their buffet breakfast. Staff are nice and the hotel provides luggage storage. It was a pleasant stay. I would stay there again.
Situated in the quiet corner and easy access to JR stations and shoppings.
Breakfast is good with many variety to choose from.
Staffs are very polite and accommodating.
Overall was a great stay and love the hotel. Room is a bit on the smaller side but very clean in quiet area 3 mins walk from Kyoto Station exit West Gate. Will be back to this hotel when I come back to Japan
Highly recommend this place! It’s very clean with friendly staff and a delicious breakfast buffet for only $10 USD. 6 min walk from Kyoto station. Hotel is simple, but has all the basics covered.
Though the room was not very spacious, the design was simple n neat. Cleanliness was top notch. Location is fantastic, near to train station n lots of eating places. Highly recommend this hotel.
The hotel is only a 3 minute walk from Kyoto Station. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and modern. You can have breakfast there as well as a drink from the bar. There are numerous places to eat at the station and surrounding area as well as shopping nearby.
Good trendy hotel close to the station which is convenient for activities in that area. Friendly staff and good service. The room was ok, our only real complaint is that the bathroom was ridiculously small for the quality of the hotel.
