Nice and clean property. Decent amenities. A lot of shopping and restaurants in the area. Really conveniently that the B1 leads to the subway. It would be nicer to have more laundry machines and a bigger laundry and ice area. It would also be convenient if we could place our dirty towels and trash outside and get new ones every day without having to get an entire room cleaning. Overall, great property to stay at!

It's central of everything in downtown Kyoto. We love the short walkable distance to the night market and festival.

I sent the messages to the hotel and ask for the high floor and nice view when I made reservation in April. Also I asked the hotel which room type can have high floor and nice view. However no reply from the hotel. When I checked in on Jul 13, I found that my room was without any view. If the hotel couldn’t meet my requirements, should let the guest know in advance so we can do other arrangements. The hotel then provided me options; move to lower floor with view or downgrade to another category on the 2nd day. I feel disappointed with this hotel in Kyoto.

Great location. Walkable to Nishiki Market and Gion. Lots of shopping centers nearby and has access to the underground walkway. Our double bed (twin sized) room was a tight squeeze for our family of four (2 kids aged 11 & 9) but we made it work by pushing the two beds together. Breakfast buffet (additional cost) was very convenient and had a great variety). Staff was great in answering questions we had.
