Tiny room....the hotel gave us 3 beds for 4 people and there was no room to walk, old room, didn't look clean, ton of people using elevators at same time so wait time takes forever, staff makes you go to the front desk to get things if you need it like an extra blanket or pillow.

The location of this hotel is excellent. It’s right outside of a subway stop, less than 2 minutes walk from its front doors. There’s a 7/11 and a 24 hour grocer nearby if you’re a visitor with jet lag. You’re only a few blocks from cool restaurants and busier commercial shopping, while other blocks are very quiet and residential, speckled with little cafes and shopping

The hotel itself is visibly older but not worn down. They maintain its character nicely and it feels clean and orderly inside despite its aged appearance. Staff are very professional and give precise service. Being a more traditional, old school vibe, this hotel might be best for older adults or families wanting no-frills service.

We were a little misled about the public bath policies. When I called, I was told if someone’s tattoos could be covered with stickers, we could enter the bath. Upon arrival I was notified by an older staff member that a max of 2 stickers could be used, otherwise we were unable to use it. This is very unfortunate since we paid for the experience, but we will be more thorough with our policy checking next time. This is the only reason we will not return to this location, but otherwise the beds and laundry were nice. The rooms had convenient and stylish dimmable lights for both beds, the pillows were great, but the pajamas were a little scratchy.

Nice room with a little table and 2 chairs (compact as everywhere in Japan), nice thermal bath (not mineral waters). Convenient amenities like vending machine, communal microwave, coin laundry machines (they should exist in every hotel in the world!) and a coffee and drinks dispenser. I would have been better to have breakfast included since there aren’t any restaurants or cafes close by.
Convenient location for day trips, by a metro station and within walking distance (even if a bit long) to Kyoto train station

The evening staff wasn't the friendliest and was a bit abrupt when we were checking in. We stayed for 4 nights on the 2nd day had to tell the front staff that the air conditioner was not working right and hot air was coming out. The male employee said perhaps they could move us to another one later when we came back from our day excursion so this was what we were expecting to happen. Once upon our arrival, another staff perhaps higher up informed me that the air conditioner has been looked at and it should work however it felt the same like warm and stagnant air was coming out. I didn't bother bringing it to the staff again since it didn't do any good the first time but we will not be staying here again. Our next hotel was the same company Vessel Hotel in Nagoya and their air conditioner was very cold and worked well. The breakfast was good with good selection and complimentary drinks and amenities made up for it. All the dryers in Japan are weak and for a load to dry, you will be spending about 300 - 700 yen just fyi. Our stay was hot and humid in our room. It felt like a sauna and not pleasant

There were plenty of food places around, a pharmacy and supermarket across the road and 7-11 next door. The hotel provided an area for eating downstairs from 2pm-11pm with free drinks from the machine, and staff went out of their way to assist with luggage transport and sorting anything wrong in the room.
