This hotel is only a few minutes walk or by bus to Kyoto Station. seems to cater mostly to residents. 2-bed room is spacious, nice spacious bathroom with separate tub, shower and toilet. Water temperature on 8th floor is inconsistent - alternating between warm and cold. Laundry facility is outdated and only 1 out of 3 driers was working. Buffet breakfast is ok catered mostly to local taste. No drinking water is available to fill your water bottles though. Bus stops close to the hotel are very convenient as another mode of transportation other than the train.

We booked this hotel thinking it’s close to the Kyoto station. It was still a good 15 minute walk. Facilities were good. Clean but feels dated. Bed and beddings feel it needed an update. We were given a room on the annex building. You need to cross a narrow gated private alley in between the building to get to the main entrance. It’s a bit of a hassle. Overall we had a good stay.

Great transport links with Kyoto Station a short walk away, and a bus stop right outside.

Vibe of the lobby and the rooms is very relaxing. The traditional style rooms with futons are nice but are quite small and a bit less comfortable than a bed.

The free onsen is a good way to unwind after a busy day. Decor-wise it is quite basic but is a safe and calming space.

The breakfast buffet is really nice and there is also a lovely restaurant called Negitaro on the same street, and a 7-Eleven for snacks.

Hotel staff were all very kind and can help with things like luggage transfer. It may help to learn some Japanese phrases before you go to avoid any misunderstandings.

Overall a great hotel and we will likely stay here again on our next trip to Kyoto.

in addition to in room bathing they offfer the use of a Japanese style communal bath

the worst thing one could say about this hotel is that it’s across the streeet from a huge bus depot BUT it’s in a good location:15 min South of kyoto train station and also 15 min East of Toji Shrine

It is a smallish Euro type room. Plenty of power outlets. Wifi works great. If you are like me, the only time I spend in the room in for sleep so the small size is no matter.

Nice hotel close to Kyoto Station

The hotel is about a 10-15 mins walk from Kyoto Station. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They offer breakfast at a reasonable price (around $10 per person) but there is not much variety.

The room where we stayed was a little too tight. We had a non-smoking room, but if for some reason we shut-off the fan/vent in the bathroom, you could smell the smoke from the smoking rooms from our bathroom; so we kept the fan running at all times to fix that problem.

Other than that, the laundry room was easy to use, although the dryers took 90 minutes to somewhat dry our clothes (clothes were not fully dried but we gave up).

Overall, since we stayed during high season, the hotel served its purpose.

Very nice hotel.

This was a single room booking.
The room is quite large for a single, especially when you're in Japan.
So be happy, this room has more than enough for a single traveller.
The staff was very courteous, friendly & their knowlegde of English was really good.
The room is spacious, bathroom is a good size, and very clean.
Little fun trying to figure out the a/c control but I managed.

FYI, you have to put your key into the slot to turn on the electricity in the room.
You also have to leave your key at the front desk when you're going out. (no biggy to be honest)
And if you're oout after midnight the door will be locked & you must either buzz in or get the code from the front desk that day, so you can get in. (again, no biggy)

The day I had to check out, I had to go some where & they were nice enough to hold my bags until I got back.
Things turned later than I thought, but when I gave them the number tag they gave me, they presented me with my bags. AT NO CHARGE! And thanked me for staying & to enjoy the rest of trip.

Now that's amazing for service.
