Good room, clean, good amenities. Only downside was there was 1 lift for the whole hotel so spent lots of time waiting around for it. But the location was great and check in and luggage store was easy.

Good location and right next to a train station. Many good restaurants nearby. Room was quite cozy, especially the bathroom. Clean, provided fresh towels daily. If you booked to include breakfast, it's quite ample. Amenities (toothbrush, sleeping gown, slippers, etc) provided. Would probably stay again. Staff was excellent.

I am nit picking here but, there is only one elevator for a 10 building hotel. So if you have someone with a handicap or wheelchair it is difficult and takes a long time especially during peak hours and check in/out times. Lastly, the closest smoking section is about 3 blocks away, so that was a big inconvenience.

Fine location only 15 min waking from Kyoto main station and very close to Gojo station taking us to other places in Kyoto with ease.
The room was nothing special, seemed kind of standard for Japan. However, we had hoped for a little bit more modern facilities in our room and for the level of cleanliness of especially the bedding to be better.
Staff was nice

Only good thing was the breakfast and staff.
Terrible beds, expect to get bed bug bites and wake up with a stiff neck and sore back.

It’s a very convenient place, it’s right next to the subway that connects to Kyoto Station. The staff are very nice and the breakfast that’s served was delicious. Rooms and bathrooms are clean.

It was not the most comfortable stay. My room was insanely tiny. No toiletries etc were provided. Breakfast was difficult as a vegetarian coz there were basically no food options. Overall just about average experience

Room was a bit smaller than I expected, but that might have been my mistake in booking the wrong type. Very convenient location (right next to Gojo Station Exit 8). All the staff were are very nice and helpful. Coin laundry is on same floor as the reception so it was a little awkward to have to walk past the front desk each time. There is also only elevator so it's a bit inconvenient to use. But overall, it was a pretty nice hotel.

Stayed for three nights. Staff are helpful and cheerful. The hotel is at Gojo, a bit far away from the hustling city centre, good for those who are looking for a quiet environment. Right next to the exit of Gojo metro station, convenient. Cleanliness requires improvement as some small insects are found in the room during our stay. Room is less spacious than expected. I was unable to fully open my luggage. Simple buffet breakfast provided, but if you visit the restaurant after 8:30am, not much food is left. Also used the coin laundry machine & drying machine. There were only two set of machines so you’ll have to wait for your turn.

Hotel was good, great location next to station, staff were excellent. The room I had bathroom was awkward impossible to get in and out of bathroom without twisting legs and knees. I stayed in hotels of all levels all over Japan. I never had any had a design like this. The size of bathroom small, that did not matter and can be normal in Japan. It was the toilet on an angle in front of the door open and make it impossible to get into the bathroom. I stayed in placew where bathroom is same size and smaller but they all be able to get in easily. Annoying thing is I was there 10 nights so make it super hard. I booked 2 moths out and paid double price, it not worth double price. At normal price it a good place.
