A nice quiet hotel that’s out of the way from traffic and noise. The staff made check in and check out easy, even helping me out with figuring out where the amenities are. The room was also clean and not too cramped.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel itself was pretty decent, but could be better if it was thought out more. The rooms are just SLIGHTLY too small to make it really difficult to maneuver around a 2nd person. Luggage access was tricky too. The bathroom has a decent shower. The toilet was fine. Everything was clean.
My biggest gripes were the HVAC and the technology in the room. The air is centrally controlled so it is either blasting heat or blasting a/c and you don't get to decide which one. Can't have just the fan on for white noise. Worst was the tv/wifi situation. The TV box acts as the wifi for the room and the TV controller and does neither particularly well. Wifi cut out multiple times and had to be restarted manually which takes ten minutes. The TV just drops out randomly while casting to it. Not very good.
Otherwise, the location is great, very conveniently near Kyoto station, close to tons of great restaurants, and walkable to lots of cool spots. I'd stay in the area again, but I would probably look elsewhere for my accommodations.
Excellent location close to the station. I arrived late at night in Kyoto and knowing the hotel was 2 min away from the station was the best. Super convenient for those who are not spending more than 3 nights in Kyoto to go continue explore other cities in Japan.
Staff’s are awesome. Very helpful. Helped me recover my backpack that i forgot on the shinkansen and was about 300 kilometers away. Arranged for it to be shipped to the hotel the next morning. About a 7 min walk to the train and bus station. And huge shopping area close by as well.
