Renovated rooms, near metro, good value breakfast

Overall, very good value for Kyoto. Breakfast was good value for ¥1500 per person with well rounded Japanese breakfast and some western options. We stayed in the Annex which is a separate building not staffed by reception (just key cards, it was 2 buildings down), though we requested “a view” was allocated a room which opened to the air conditioning units of the back building. Useful to have the in-house washing machine, though its drying function was poor and needed hours at times to fully dry the clothes. They also won’t clean your room unless you’re staying more than 7 nights, citing “eco-friendliness”. Charge of ¥1500 if you do want your room cleaned before then (note: most people don’t stay that long in Kyoto anyways) Location was good as in it was near a subway line and Nishiki market. However not much affordable food options nearby, needed at least a 15 min walk most of the time. So overall good value for price but wouldn’t necessarily choose this location in the future. The lack of room cleaning unless you’re staying more than a week is also questionable.

We stayed here a few nights while on our 2 weeks in Japan and of all the properties we stayed this one was by far the biggest room of all our hotel stays. We loved that the unit had a washer/dryer which was extremely handy to have and use. The hotel itself was centrally located and walkable to things to do and see. Would recommend this property.
