This hotel is in a great location. The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, Frie dly and helpful staff. Easily accessible to public transportations, restaurants, and shopping. 5 minutes walk to the train station and bus stops. Convenient stores are all around the hotel. Shopping mall is a short 4 min walk. The hotel offer breakfast, but did not use. Breakfast did not offer food for my picky eaters . Luckily the shopping mall has a mcdonald and a family mart across from the hotel. The hotel offer a laubdry facility. The dryer does not dry well. We had a small load whixh shouldn't take long to dry. After 2.5 hours of drying, clothes was still damp. It took time and money just to dry. We eventually had to take the clothes across the street from the hotel at the laundry mat to finish drying and only took 30 min to dry. Overall hotel is great other the dryer. I would stay here again.

The staff here are so friendly and helpful, I’m half-convinced they’ve been trained by angels. Everything is clean! The hotel? Clean. The room? Cleaner. The restaurant? Clean! We paid extra for breakfast, and it was totally worth it. Delicious, satisfying, and served with a smile. 10/10!

The property was in a great location, approximately a 5 minute walk from the Kyoto station. Many restaurants and convenient stores around the area. Compared to the other hotels in Japan, I thought the room was quite spacious, especially for a room with a double bed. The staff were kind and helpful. Many free amenities. They provided pyjamas and a basket for when you want to use the onsen. The hotel and our room was clean. Although the area is busy, it wasn't loud. The only downside was the laundry machine, there is only one machine per floor and it was always occupied. Thankfully there is a 24h laundromat across the street. Overall, I think the hotel is worth the price and I would recommend it to anyone who is planning to staying in Kyoto.

Great staffs - attentive and helpful. Nice lounge area for relaxing. Overall the rooms, lobby, dining and spa were clean, with the exception of the floor to the entrance of our room which had stains and looked dirty. Not terrible but didn't seem up to the standards of the rest of the property. We mentioned this to the front desk and they immediately sent up a worker to inspect the issue and take pictures. They seemed to spend extra time cleaning the room afterwards so their response was greatly appreciated. We stayed here 3 nights and would recommend this hotel.

Our party of 5 occupied 2 rooms and we so appreciate their hardworking staff. The rooms are not large but they are adequate. Just a 10 minute walk to the Kyoto station and a convenient store on the corner was helpful. We were provided cotton 2-piece outfits (happi coat) and slippers to use the onsen - but forgot we needed to bring our own towel. The communal onsen was a serene indoor environment and made for a nice evening to heal the body. I needed to contract the luggage delivery service and learned they use the Yamato service which only accepts cash, We were able to get our 8 pieces to Tokyo for about $200. The front desk staff speak very good English but other staff members (bartender, bellhop etc) do not but we managed with Google translate. If I return I’d definitely consider this hotel.
Entering the first floor - lobby is on the 3rd floor.
